What Is The Highest Charge Derek Chauvin Should Have Been Convicted Of?

Nice try. What % do blacks make up of the US population?

Blacks 13.4.
Whites 76.
So your lame numbers show how disingenuous your post is.
Blacks account for @40% for unarmed shootings with less than 14% of population.

Any other Trumpy stats?

Yeah, I know, You're going to hold your breath because you can't have your own facts but it is what it is. Did Oprah have an encounter with the police last year? Nope, so she doesn't fit the narrative. Did I have an encounter with the police last year? Nope, so that doesn't fit the narrative. Because there are fewer black people in this country, Oprah's failure to get caught breaking the law has a larger impact on the statistics than myself participating in criminal activity.

Statistics, like comedy, is hard. Save it for the professionals.
6/57.

6 percent, the bulk of male blacks of adult age .. commit 57 percent of crime.

After having your bullshit exposed and pushed in your face, you try to change things.
I proved you wrong in the post I replied to. They're your numbers.
Proving you wrong once wasn't enough?
Repost a coherent statement using your "6/57", include a link, and explain what it has to do with the OP.
In other words, your add on hijack posts as well as your attempts at salvaging any credibility don't mean shit to me.
You got caught using tje "liberal lie" card.
Just another Trumpy lie.

Really? He knelt on Floyds neck after he stopped moving. When the paramedics arrived they had to ask Chauvin to get off Floyd's neck.

How is it, that you know he didn't intend to commit murder? Telepathy? Originally Posted by pfunkdenver

Absent this "proof" of intent, the law requires beyond a reasonable doubt. It is reasonable to believe that Chauvin didn't intend to kill a man while being video taped. While it is possible through his arrogance that he thought he could do it and get away with it, proof of intent is still necessary or the defendant gets "beyond reasonable doubt". There was a charge that did not imply intent and that would have been the correct, reasonable charge.



We can all apply our guess at intent or not, the law calls for more and thank goodness it does even if it doesn't get applied by the jury.

Just your analysis of something we weren't discussing in detail. Something you can't have if you misrepresent right off the bat. Instead of correcting wacky, you tried to correct the person who corrected him. Proof you have no interest in honest discussion. Open your own thread.
I responded to a post with facts. This is off topic and I don't consider all your bullshit that is needed to keep you from looking like an ass.
He posted number and said here is proof. I posted facts that proved him wrong.
You saying I'm wrong means nothing without proof contrary to what I said. Get back on topic for the OP.

Didn't you say you were robbed? So you lied about no encountets with the police.
Typical.

Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 213 civilians having been shot, 30 of whom were Black, in the first three months of 2021.




30 is 14.084507042254% of 213.


The fact is that Black people, proportionately commit more crimes than Whites. Therefore you would expect the ethnicity of those committing the most crimes would be higher than any other ethinicity regardless of the % of the population. Cops go where the crime is and confront the criminals regardless of ethnicity.


Until this is said by the President of the United States and admitted to by the Black population, this narrative of targeting Blacks simply because of the color of their skin, is a fallacy.
We could, after admitting to these facts, discuss why we think Blacks commit more crimes than Whites, like lack of educational opportunity or that the opportunity is there but not taken advantage of. Out of wedlock births with every study ever done shows this to be a contributing factor to generational poverty than can lead to crime and of course being told by half the population that they are a victim of White oppressors and always will be no matter how hard they try. Problem with that theory, there are far to many cases to prove that theory wrong.

Guilty on all counts.

Would you be questioning their judgment had the murdering Chauvin walked?
Not one juror with a doubt? The only benefit of the doubt I give the jury is if they were privy to evidence we have not seen. As for your other post- nobody can prove what someone else thinks. If this is the basis for how the jury voted then it is a mistrial.

You disagree. Too bad. The jury convicted "beyond a reasonable doubt".

But if you saw "proof of intent", I wish you would share that proof with us or should I call you Adam Schiff?

and guess what? those radials still riot over it. proving "justice" isn't their game plan. anarchy is.
