Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I'm curious to see how it plays out. I kind of imagine him being convicted of a crime, but getting minimal sentencing. And I imagine the trial will drag out long enough that by the time he' And admittedly, I understand there is a better way than my own viewpoint. In an ideal world, we would realize that Chauvin's (the offending officer) actions were a tragic expression of ignorance and personal trauma[06:49 am]
NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: NudeRaider I was reading more about it, and some are arguing that the officer who killed Floyd should be charged with first degree murder, while the others should be charged as accomplices. The time he spent kneeling on Floyd's neck (almost 9 minutes) was sufficient to consider the murder pre-meditated. Makes sense to me.
As for their fellow officers - yes they should've stepped in. I think this is the most important that needs to change. That they all cover for each other. Not all policemen are crooked racists. And if you encourage a sense of responsibility not only for themselves but also for their colleagues it should go a long way.[06:45 am]
NudeRaider -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Ultraviolet can't imagine him getting away this easily. Too much publicity. He has to take the fall.
or rather too much protests already. Imagine what will happen when he gets set free.[06:44 am]
NudeRaider -- UltravioletUltraviolet shouted: I suppose I agree with punishing him harshly for it. I believe if the police officers who murder civilians were punished with the death penalty or life in prison themselves, things would change in a big hurry. As it stands, I doubt he'll even see any prison time. If he does see time in prison, as he should, I imagine the inmates will handle the rest for us.

Ultraviolet -- I'm also the kind of guy who believes men who beat their wives deserve death. I acknowledge that my beliefs are harsh (my girlfriend hates that about me), but I dunno, it's just the way I think. I have very little forgiveness for what I consider unforgivable crimes. I believe in retributive justice.[06:19 am]
Ultraviolet -- Even if he ends up in prison, he'll probably get protective custody, which, in my opinion, is far more than he deserves[06:17 am]

I think they're blinded by how egregious his crime was. I still think at no point he had the conscious intention to actually kill him. More like "I don't care what this shitbag is saying (or feeling)"
