Personally, I think Chauvin should be convicted of 'Manslaughter' based on the evidence i have seen and heard, but I'm not a member of the jury and do not know every single detail about the trial as those taking part in it. Understanding this, I am more than willing to allow justice to run its course. I still have just enough faith in the system to believe it can still work. That faith is not shared by all.
What, if any, impact do you think this threat of violence will have on the trial or, more importantly, the outcome? Will it 'taint' the final jury decision?

I've been watching the trial. Police Chiefs, Captains, Sargeants, and training officers - a veritable parade of them, all getting on the stand and telling the jury that what Chauvin did was wrong, and violated all off his training and all of the Departments standard procedures. They discussed what his training had taught him to do, which was to stop restraining a suspect when he is under your control and not resisting.
Chauvin kept his knee on George Floyd's neck for nearly 3 minutes after being told that George Floyd had no pulse. That was nearly 2 minutes after George Floyd had stopped talking or moving. Even though the police had called for an ambulance for George Floyd because of his obvious medical distress, Chauvin continued to keep his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck until the ambulance arrived.
And bear in mind that Floyd's original crime was passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Michael Brown stole a candy bar. Eric Garner was illegally selling cigarettes. Why are 4 officers being sent out to investigate a $20 crime. 6 officers taking down a suspect selling cigarettes on the corner.

He speaks for everyone? I am a BLM supporter and do not approve of his prediction.
Honey, I saw on television less than 2 hours ago the BLM spokeswoman who said that the BLM would burn buildings if the officer Mr. Chauvin was acquitted. Today it was brought out that the pathologist who issued the death certificate said his death was caused by compression of the neck. Officer Chauvin's foot was televised consistently as being on Floyd's back, and not on the front where the neck compression was diagnosed. None of the 4 touched Floyd's neck. There is no mystery here. Officer Chauvin did not compress Mr. FLOYD's neck in any way shape or form.
And that threat to burn buildings needs to be treated as any other terrorist act. It's just that simple.
Wrong.
It is obvious in all the pictures that Chauvin has his SHIN on Floyd's neck.
No one ever said it was his foot.
His foot never had anything to do with it.
Nope. Try to keep up, ok? There was a new video released, that was taken from ma different angle. The video clearly shows that the officer's knee was on Floyd's shoulder.
Chauvin trial: Was his knee on Floyd's shoulder?
It's not a "new video", and it was from the time period AFTER the paramedicas arrived - more than 9 minutes AFTER Chauvin put his knee on Floyd's neck, by which time, more than two minutes had gone by since the officers tried and failed to find a pulse.
The prosecutor already debunked this claim in his cross examination.
