One good thing is if it is overturned on appeal
I guess anything is possible, but the jury's decision itself, whether someone believes it was the right decision or not, is not really appealable, unless we find out that they were given incorrect instructions or something (but this was heavily covered so that should have been caught).

Based on the video, with people screaming to Chauvin that he was killing Floyd, it looked like he was in a power trip mode, and only cared about establishing his power/dominance, without any regard for the consequences, including Floyd's death. In hindsight without the emotions of the moment, I'm sure he would have chose differently, but unfortunately, it doesn't matter because we can't change the past (at least not yet).
Even DCs colleagues attempted to deescalate DC, yet he disregarded any concern.

Policing themselves works for me; there won't be any
and there will be roving gangs.
They are on their own. Big fence to keep their lawless selves in.

I think the Noor decision changed Minnesota's "depraved mind" standard. That will likely be appealed, and prior to Noor, I saw some MN jurists state that because Chauvin's actions were specific to Floyd (as opposed to a crowd), it would not be sustainable. In any event, it looks less like other states "depraved heart" and more like "reckless endangerment"

Ridiculous verdict.
At the most he should have been convicted for Manslaughter third degree.

So anyone who disagrees with the verdict is a racist?
Wanna try again? You can do better...I think.

Let's say we put you on trial for some charge - "Being a dickhead tOSU fan" - and, whether or not you did it, leading up to the jury actually making their decisions a very important member of Congress said that folks should get confrontational, implicitly condoning violence if you were acquitted and the President of the United States called the Michigan head football coach and said he prayed that the jury did the right thing (by convicting your sorry arse).
Now, does it matter a single shite that you ARE a dickhead tOSU fan in those circumstances as to the question of whether or not you received a fair trial?
(ETA: Also, the media published all the information and bios of the jurors before they rendered the verdict, without names of course, because that isn't intimidating at all.)

This changes nothing. What time do the riots start?

Racist doesn’t mean anything anymore because of people like you. Congrats.

DC was a sacrifice to BLM, Auntie Maxine, and Pedro Joe. He did not get a fair trial. DC did not cause the death of GF. GF was a dead man walking. Had DC not did his job, GF would've quietly died in his car just like any other junkie. If I were a police officer today, I would find another career. Maybe they will wake up when their neighborhood turns into the wild west.

I think we can all agree that at least we don't have to listen to George Floyd's crackhead opinion of the verdict.

They deliberated less than ten hours for a trail that took weeks to present the evidence. The jurors all live in the area and are afraid the mob will come after them if they do anything other than convict on all charges. There were activists in the courtroom taking pictures of the jury. Do you think they were doing that to get their autographs later? The jury was not sequestered they could see what the mob was capable of. The jury was intimated and there is no way Chauvin could have received a fair trial anywhere in the state. With the way these mobs are organized it is possible to argue that there is no place in the country he could get a fair trial unless the location of the trial is never revealed. Anywhere you go to try him the mob will follow and threaten everyone involved and the entire community if anything other conviction of all charges is the result. This isn't justice. This is vigilantism.
