GUILTY,GUILTY AND GUILTY

Chauvin in prison shower..He's a sizeable guy...he's big...oooh thats tight...wow..that going to hurt...mmmmmm..Dueling Banjos music :)

Stay inside for awhile, cops gonna want revenge

What is a white former

Lol “a black man”

Something fishy with the verdict I can feel it.

Get ready for the city to burn. Doesn't matter what the verdict ends up to be. Violence will happen.

Thanks for telling us he’s black, I almost forgot..

Traffic Cone available for assistance in any emergency situation!

The people on the sidewalk were the jury. They told a unanimous story.

There can be no other verdict but guilty. We basically watched a snuff film.

Now the crazy part is had roles been reversed people would absolutely believe their eyes.. so why not nowBelieve ur eyes this racist wit a history of violence is GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!! 👩‍⚖️

White police should refuse to work in black neighborhoods.

They are doing a good job at dividing us bcz fb comments weren’t only disgusting they were insensitive & racist!!.. keep in ur mind NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE THEIR CHILD UNDER ANY VIOLENT CIRCUMSTANCES PERIOD ~ this is something tragic that should bring us together not fall apart 💔

DebraMessing Do I expect Chavin to be convicted? No. Because juries, judges, prosecutors, and other cops give cops the benefit of the doubt. If there's a non-black person on that jury, you can be assured that there will be one person who will not convict. It's just a statistical fact.

Prayers for the Chauvin family as they can’t get a fair trial in a city where racist congressman and racist hate groups like BLM burn, loot, kill and threaten jurors if they don’t find him guilty. This should be dismissed for all the above reasons.

Way to go . The prosecutor never presented any evidence of racial biases or hate. They never spoke of race. You felt it most important to call him white even before officer, former, & Minneapolis. Why?

He’ll be found guilty then his lawyer will file for mistrial because of RepMaxineWaters and what she said. She and democrats want this case to drag on for years and will do anything to make that happen. Typical democrats using the black community to make themselves richer.

Why is the jury still deliberating? DerekChauvinIsGuiltyAF whole🌍 is watching America, don’t prove everyone right about U.S. Justice systems! ConvictChauvinNow Show 🌍 JusticeMatters2021 for the 1st time!

My gut says hung jury. As sickening as that is.

Im causing property damage if he doesnt go to jail! My care is gonna get rekt! Take this as a warning!

Floyd, a black man. Fucking clowns, anything to try and keep dividing people and the crazy thing is people keep eating this shit up. Wake the fuck up, yes a cop killed George Floyd, it had nothing to do with race so why the fuck is that in the tweet other then to cause division

if antifa/blm starts another flaming town riot, use the same force you would on terrorists

Never forget

Trust, these people, really?

Why is Twitter not clamping down on misinformation and blocking the NY Times from publishing lies and misinformation about the cause of death of the Capitol police, or ALL democrats who lied about the cause of death to bolster the impeachment of president Trump?

Yes he died of a drug overdose I remember reading the medical examiners report.

WTF is taking so long, ‘GUILTY’ We all know the Chauvin never thought the video a kid was taking would go viral! How many others has he done this to not taped?

Everyone that’s waiting to riot after chauvin verdict needs to remember 12 normal individuals from Minneapolis are making the decision if chauvin is guilty! It’s not a judge, it’s not a lawyer, it’s not a politician, it’s not a cop, it’s 12 residents of MN who make the decision!

I love it when the media makes a point of the involved parties’ skin color. It’s almost as if the media wants racial division. 🤔

Can we all agree that good ole George is almost 1 year drug free! Good job dude!

the case of Media pushing race! i hope he's found innocent.

Chauvin got 3 charges. he got the first part of his due. next is a jumpsuit. ✊

Justice Must Be Served! The World is watching We don't need another 'OJ'

The weasel language in this is just unreal.

Why isn't he being charged with murder 1. Anyone can see that chauvin intended to kill Floyd as soon as the video starts

If the knee doesn’t fit, you must acquit.

Government set up black white division even with the prosecutor and defense lawyers is easy to see they wait for the pig to get off or light sentence that is why they prepare for riots wake up courts are more corrupt than the police like the leaders are most corrupt

I cannot understand the defense with the “reasonably thinking cop” theory. What cop will pay more attention to the crowd than the person they’re killing? None of what he did consisted of reasonably thinking!!

AP quit stokin the flames of racial tension, all you had to do was say police officer and george floyd, not there races Philonise Floyds even on record as saying he believed derek chauvin knew exactly who george floyd was that day due to disputes they had at el neuvo rodeo club

To those whining that 'they're dividing us' by hinting at the 200 year tradition of police preying on Black citizens, or scapegoating Maxine Waters for police immunity you've always been okay with: you were *never* united with the people affected. You just didn't want to see it.

It was a drug overdose!!

Just waiting for that CNN alert 'guilty!!' To flash on my phone. But we know that these white nationalists CULT members are currently doing facebook pages about how he will ' beat it on appeal!!'

I hope they convict and let an appeal fix it later when the media isn’t race baiting riots for divisive political fun.

Chauvin just heard the national anthem play over and over and he had to kneel for it.

The verdict will not bring back the dead and Floyd was a violent criminal.

This is not a trial, it is a lynching. It's a political execution to be placed on the altar of BLMTerrorist and AntifaTerrorist I read the autopsy report, the criminal report in Minn and Texas on Floyd and he was so doped up is breathing stopped because of a stressful situation

*White

Floyd, a drug addict that resisted arrest and died from those drugs, COMPLY or DIE, its pretty simple...

CONVICTCONVICTCONVICTDerekChauvin FUCKTHEPOLICE FUCKCORRUPTION FUCKWHITESUPREMACY

Why do you capitalize the B in Black but not the w in white? Isn't that racist?

Get ready for some more “mostly peaceful protests “

This will be very interested week.

3rd degree murder. The other 2 won’t stick, no intention to kill here. End of the day this was a poor judgement resulting in accidental death. I’m most interested to see if there is jail time. That would be huge.

“consider whether Derek Chauvin caused the death of Floyd...” Yes. Yes, he did.

No one bats an eye as the media explicitly tries to divide by mentioning race.

I hope Chauvin gets life in prison. I'm hoping people won't be making Rape Jokes if he does get convicted. Nobody should be raped. That shouldn't be a controversial take in 2021, but here we are.

Very classy throwing race in there. 🤡

so this is black and white and not right and wrong?

What's to consider, he absolutely did

Are we seeing a verdict today?

So eloquently written. 🙄💩

I have one precept I liked you bring out if Floyd which in the back seat of the police car why take him out from the other side of the police car once in lock the doors. DerekChauvinTrial

If you're going to capitalize 'Black' then you should also be capitalizing 'White.' That's how equality works.

Not guilty. Floyd was criminal scum high on drugs. I will always keep telling my kids that.

Our judicial system is as legitimate as Professional Rassling. Even if there is a guilty verdict. Simply stall till the smell leaves the room. And overturn on appeal. The title cannot change hands on DQ scenario. Rassling

He was always going to be found guilty no matter what. Public opinion was already made up and I'm sure the jurors knew the case beforehand. Everyone in Minnesota has heard of the case. There was millions in riot damage and the city sued for 27 million by the family.

kfdinews YOU SHOULD BE BANNED FOR THE LAST TWO WORDS OF YOHR TWEET!!!! FUCK, WHO AM I KIDDING. THAT ONLY PUSHES YOUR BULLSHIT NARRATIVE!

If this irrational, impulsive , unqualified, disgrace to policing doesn't get at least 15 years. I just don't understand law anymore.

fox4beaumont LIES, LIES & more lies. He was high as a kite & died from his drug addiction & health issues. Not the officer's fault.

If there's one thing both sides can agree on is that this better not take forever. It's dragged on for weeks and we finally hear a verdict.

I think Derek Chauvin will walk and its literally making me sick. I feel like I'll throw up when he gets off.

So 14% of the population is black, and yet the peaceful-protest-rioting continues?

Why do these savages have to riot all the time? He is definitely guilty of manslaughter - but enough with the looting.

It’s now going to be appealed and ruled a mistrial no matter what the verdict is. The Judd’s said so himself Maxine Waters words now gave Chauvin all the right to appeal for a mistrial

The Defense is really saying “Officers are humans and humans make mistakes.” Yes, and if humans make a bad enough mistake they go to prison. Where is where Chauvin belongs.

Should be simple even leaving the race part out of it but i sadily have this dangerous feeling its not going to be a good week for The Land of 10000 Lakes 😖

This Cop will get the Fucking max but these elected officials that are getting on these networks & saying shit that insights people to riot or destroy property need to be impeached! I'm sick of this bull shit but these people should try to get this Fucked up country together!

Get ready. He's getting off on the murder charges. You just wait...

Hurry up and get this over with! I have a couple of birthdays to shop for along with mine....I could use a PS5 for myself before then!!! ChristmasShoppingComesEarly GeorgeFloyd BlackLivesMatter

Hopefully a quick deliberation and a full conviction.

Hold on, I goes to a bar sober, got drunk get into confrontation and punch someone. So I’m not guilty because if you focus on those two hours I was getting drunk, ignores the whole day that I was sober. That fucked up defense man.

If he is found not guilty ... Target better board up their stores lmao.. they all going to get lootee

Any deliberation longer than an hour is bad. The murder was filmed.

you didn't have to be a 'reasonable officer' to recognize George Floyd was in distress and dying you just had to be a reasonable Human Being, like a 9 yo child, to recognize a man was being killed before your very eyes Blackwell was incredibly effective throughout this trial

How it should go: Foreman:'Motherfucker's guilty, right' Other 11 jurors: 'Damn straight' Foreman:'Bailiff, we're ready'

Your daily article where these enemies of the people capitalize Black and lowercase white while they blood libel us. Lugenpresse.

This really should be an open and shut case, the video is clear, Chauvin crushed his neck and he asphyxiated to death even when most people at the scene including the victim told him he couldn't breathe. Only a white supremacist or an idiot could think this wasn't murder.

it could go guilty or innocent time will tell hopefully there will be no violence

I can not wait to see him acquitted!!

Guilty. Move on.

Can we all just come to a conclusion as a country. If an officer kills someone unjustly, they should lose their ability to serve in law enforcement. We don't need unstable ppl patrolling our streets. That's what the gestappo was back in Nazi Germany

Doesn’t even matter unfortunately, after Waters this will likely be appealed or be a mistrial.

Will the blayacks be happy if he only gets 30 years?

He acted like a 'reasonable police office'. Since when is putting your knee on someone's neck for 9 mins cutting off air supply being reasonable. The coroner stated that is what killed George Floyd!

PLEASE BE A QUICK VERDICT! Please be a quick verdict. Please be a quick verdict. Ahhhhhhh ... It won't be quick.

Why is the word 'white' all lowercase and the word 'Black' capitalized?

It was live on Camera and they still have to discuss?

DerekChauvinTrial MinneapolisPD NON-coincidental 2nd MinnCOPKKKilling WAS ......On Purpose! MinneapolisPD Misconduct WAS a Planned Coordinated KKKilling to taint & Assist DerekChauvinTrial CNNSitRoom HLNTV

They don’t have enough for murder. So honestly make sure you keep safe, because likely we’ll see civil unrest. Stay protected 👊

This should be simple, but I fear it won't be. All it takes is one

Smart move by the prosecution bringing Keenan out on rebuttal to try to sway the jury based on race!

I asked myself since the start of the Derek Chauvin trial: why is it reasonable to apply force to a man who is restrained, handcuffed, then unconscious?

Only idiots think it wasn't murder

If you are able, please help share this campaign. It would be great to get the attention
