re: Describe the state of this country if Chauvin gets off.

There's no way he gets a fair trial. If he is found not guilty he needs to follow the lead of Zimmerman and Anthony into attempted anonymity. I don't think many of us baws will put up with another round of rioting and looting...some already aren't.

I think what ultimately happens is he gets convicted of the original 3rd degree charge, 2 get their charges lowered with time served. Meanwhile the new guy (who suggested moving him to his side) is found not guilty & the union gets his job back either there or elsewhere in the country.
