Why is this being downgraded. That privilege again.

No Matter what happens America is a Better Place! One less Drug Dealer👍

stop referring to proceedings as “The George Floyd Trial”. Mr. Floyd is the victim deceased. Derek Chauvin is the perpetrator. This is “The Derek Chauvin & Accomplices Trial”.

Because they can't convict on Murder 2

Guilty of Murder! Guilty of holding his knee against the neck of a man who couldn’t fight back and was unconscious but still kept his knee there to ensure he stopped him breathing. Guilty of Murder ! Guilty !

F**ker is going to get away with it... bet me!

Why isn’t this murderer in jail He killed Floyd on national TV. We ALL know he is guilty and should be put away for a long time for his racist act.

Maybe involuntary manslaughter or police brutality. Besides I heard he died of a drug overdose. If you can talk you can breathe if you don't believe me give it a try. Try talking without inhaling or exhaling.... He shouldn't have had his knee on that guys neck like that tho....

Police officer - not.... murderer yes

I hope you get sent to gen pop! Disgusting bastard

Fry him

Trishamott Look at that remorseless murderer's mug. Nazi Bastid.

How they get third degree murder out of this when it is all on camera is beyond comprehensible! The only saving grace is that he will never walk out of prison but will be quietly taken away in a body bag long before his time is up.

WARNING: Generally speaking, the media is exploited by those who have an agenda to promote. How long will it take for the media to catch up to the truth? It isn't exactly rocket science !!

Tell you what... If the judicial system screws up and Chauvin does not get thrown in jail for the crimes he has committed, smh... I don’t want to think about the reactions

It should be 1st degree! He knew that man prior... I put money on it.

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

Should be treated like any other murderer. Is that the courts sticking up for their own again.......of course they are what else would happen. Hope he gets the maximum sentence aloud.

Animal

He committed a horrible crime on national TV via a video on cell phone. It was disgusting killing George in that fashion.

What about kids in cages?

U lucky wasn’t my father fucker

No time for

Really bad idea. They’ll burn Minneapolis his this man isn’t brought to Justice. They need to understand that the people have had enough with police brutality and lack of fair justice.

An EYE 4 an EYE (Let’s watch)

I'm here to inform you that we must love all as one and treat each other as one they must be unity amongst all humans we must love and care for each other as one Steven is from the Revelation wigglesworth was baptized by fire together we have come to this body location at abraka

What he did was 1st degree premeditated murder. That's what he should be charged with and get.

Hand this fucking piece of shit ..!!!

Good

Dude looks like a sinister Woody Harrelson!😠👹

3rd degree. If the guy was human he'd be... Yeah, I'm good with that, and thanks.

Excellent.
