And there quite a few of those takes, completely the worst, bad faith I’ve seen.

Well that’s not the worst...Pelosi took the crown.

Well at least until Biden takes credit later tonight.

Thanks to Trump administration, specifically Barr removing the plea option of 3rd degree off the table as too soon and too lenient

Not mad at all, totally relieved mostly, and thankful.

Just stating the fact the system isn't perfect but it worked in this case.

It feels weird that he was found guilty of everything. Like everything has been such shit for the past couple years, this just seems like it went too easy. Maybe the tides are turning.

It was the right verdict no doubt...I was a little surprised all charges were found guilty.

I think something loss in the trial which was evident, Chauvin actions were not racially motivated. No evidence in his past and believe me, the prosecution turned over every stone. Zero, zilch nada...no evidence in his character. I know USA Today, NYT looked everywhere to feed that narrative, but it was a nothing burger, Chauvin wasn’t a racist

A year since it happened, and literally nobody (with a public platform) talked about the racial angle until you brought it up.

The general consensus was that a cop was abusing his authority to "maintain control of the situation" by kneeling on someone's neck. Killing him. On video.

Keep trying Chico, one of these days maybe we'll turn on these so called media members who tried so hard to make this a racial thing.

Man my sarcasm meter is spinning...are you serious here?

Really mooby? Nobody with a public platform brought up the racial angle? I’m the first one? 😂

Again, there seems to be some animosity here the justice was served and facts find Chauvin wasn’t racially motivated. These are good things right?

We all live in our own world.

Even serious anti-cop places like Reddit weren't gung-ho on the white/black angle.

We all see what we want to see.

The consensus opinion to me was "power tripping cop abused his authority."

Your last line about animosity here is ridiculous. It just reinforces why having a discussion with you is pointless because even when we agree that the bad cop finally got punished, we can't even agree on that. Idk why I waste my time.

We do agree...I just don’t know why you would fly off the hook at the obvious.

Lol...ok well I don’t know if you have seen the efforts to say this is systemic racism after the event or just last night on CBS, NBC, etc. but believe it or not folks made that obvious connection.

I thought it could be a hate crime if Chauvin did show a racial motivation. Which nothing in his background or character showed and certainly would have been brought up if was there.

But hey I’m sure if anybody even hinted at that on those message board you quickly pushed back. Good for you Mooby!

Maybe but I would say that this is very different from a shooting which can be a split second or knee jerk reaction to a situation IMO a lot harder to prove intent. 9 minutes on someone's neck but who knows.

I didn't mean weird, as in not correct, just that it actually happened. The way thing's have been all around, I just assumed something crazy would happen. I'm so cynical now.
