Right.
More egregious than the Floyd case, and not one damn Democrat has said a word about it.
They dont have compassion, they are simply activists.

I’d bet a large sum that the jury was terrified of what would happen to them if they didn’t find him guilty.

Are Juries ever wrong? Particularly in politically charged environments?

Let's not pretend this was your typical case. You wouldn't change your opinion on the matter if they said 'not guilty', so why should I change mine?

That didn’t happen, though. It was his shoulder blade, as taught by the Minneapolis Police Department.

OJ is innocent until found guilty by a jury of his peers. Chauvin was found guilty by a jury of his peers.
We don’t throw out the basis of the entire judicial system our founding fathers built for this country based solely on “the OJ case got it wrong”.

Try looking at the actual photos and video -- he's clearly putting all his weight directly on Floyd's neck.

False Equivalence
Description: An argument or claim in which two completely opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. The confusion is often due to one shared characteristic between two or more items of comparison in the argument that is way off in the order of magnitude, oversimplified, or just that important additional factors have been ignored.
Logical Form:
Thing 1 and thing 2 both share characteristic A.
Therefore, things 1 and 2 are equal.
Example #1:
President Petutti ordered a military strike that killed many civilians. He is no different than any other mass murder and he belongs in prison!
Explanation: Both president Petutti and a mass murder share the characteristic that something they did resulted in the death of civilians. However, the circumstances, the level of responsibility, and the intent are significantly different for the president than the typical mass murder and ignoring these factors is unreasonable, thus makes the argument fallacious.
Example #2: Using the second amendment as justification to allow civilians to own nuclear submarines.
Explanation: In this case, the first "thing" is the weapon as understood at the time the second amendment was passed. The second "thing" of comparison is the nuclear submarine, also a weapon, but one of significantly different magnitude. This example also introduces the difference between a legal justification and an argumentative one (see appeal to the law).

Nobody is saying we do. Just saying that a jury can and will let politics and outside opinion color their judgement and will find people either guilty or innocent when clearly the opposite is true.

He was killed from asphyxiation from having 100 lbs on his neck for too long.
What physical evidence was used in determining the asphyxiation diagnosis? What typical signs of asphyxiation weren’t present?

You wanna try to make that clause make sense with an edit?

The vast majority of police officers who kill civilians are never indicted.
Of the police officers who are indicted and tried, the vast majority are acquitted.
What consequences have people faced from refusing to indict or acquitting?
