He should, that judge overstepped, the officer performed according to the training he was given. George Floyd resisted arrest and had a criminal record.
he didn't do anything wrong, the country is slowly giving our worst class of offenders a pass while prosecuting the ones trying to protect us.
Are you kidding?

And here is the end result. He is going to spend 15 years behind bars, for murder.

You republicans are always clamoring about letting violent offenders out and how they repeat offend. Should we make him stay in jail for life?

Acquittal is coming as he only followed the training he received prior to the incident. George Floyd died from a drug overdose
 
It's part of the system and his right to do.
Well, naturally, because he's a cop. There's service of process in the court of appeals, and he's got protection in prison, they let him out as soon as the coast is clear, and he can give BLM the slip, and get out of town before they kill him. But the rest of us, who aren't cops, we don't get any defense or appeals. Here's the deal, according to the D.A., and your public defender pleads you either guilty or mentally ill, or else you've got to sell your house and assets and everything to hire a private defense attorney, and you're even worse off than with a public defender in that case, once the court system has gotten hold of your pocketbook.

The public defender system is corrupt but that really has nothing to do with what I said.

So you can afford a private defense attorney, and pay out of pocket for the same thing, no better, and you're just all the worse off because you've got to pay money to be pled guilty / mentally ill / insane just as if you had a public defender, but now you're even poorer than anybody on welfare, because you had to pay out of pocket and front a much bigger cash bail, brake hoses slashed, tire knifed on the way to your court date don't expect any sympathy from a judge if you ain't a cop yourself.
