AriMelber Why is it a Historic sentence? Because the person he killed was black?

AriMelber These people (Floyd and chauvin) are the victims of billionaire maker capitalist and communist societies. if society is not changed to equal base income for everyone you will continue to see them on street. one is drug dealer and the other psychopath police officer.

AriMelber And he'll be paroled by this time next year. Freakin incredible

AriMelber Not long enough, but no slap on the wrist either. Just as killing an officer results in a harsher than usual sentence, officers who commit brazen acts of murder should face stiffer penalties too. They know better.

AriMelber I was in hope he will get 2 x 22,5.

AriMelber Meanwhile 160 people are buried under rubble.

AriMelber He should be thankful because of his color. He'll be able to get through it and still live his life. George is dead over $20 dollars. That is shameful!

AriMelber He should take Some KY with him!

AriMelber That's half the story, right? I mean, still a long way to go, appeals and so on?

AriMelber 22.5 Years will never bring back George Floyd... Gina will never see her dad physically.... Justice was not served.....

AriMelber 22 yrs for not committing a murder - lol - USA legal system has fallen to promote SJW WOKE PC crap

AriMelber It’s a start. Cops killing in cold blood, not part of civil society, irrespective of race, creed, color, ethnicity, language, etc. Let’s hope our establishment will take learning from it and change SoPs for police and forces.

AriMelber No one panic, this murderer will die in prison long before he serves most of that time. In the most violent, painful and degrading way possible. Can’t wait for that headline. 👍

AriMelber He’s already aged 22 years.

AriMelber 'Historic.' Please. The only 'historic' thing is the conviction. The sentence is irrelevant. Had the race roles been reversed...22.5 years for a black man killing a white cop would be historically lenient.

AriMelber His accomplices in the murder must be worried about their upcoming trials.

Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22½ years in George Floyd deathFormer Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced Friday to 22.5 years in prison for the murder of George Floyd. With good behavior, he could be paroled after serving two-thirds of his sentence (about 15 years) Seems fair. He deserved ALL the time, and more. Floyd was worth more. Much more than the time he could ever pay. Whether it's by his own hand, at the hands of others, or the effect that stress takes on his health, he won't be alive in 15 years.

Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22 1/2 years in death of George FloydSketches show a glimpse inside the courtroom during the Derek Chauvin trial, where he was handed a 270-month sentence, minus time served, by Judge Peter Cahill. It's really in the hands of God and black or blue or white or yellow or brindal we must leave it too our God and not the take the Law into self hands!!! Just terrible and making ENERMY is evil He will go to jail not as a police officer doing his job but as a police officer who did not do his job correctly so the man goes to jail we don't condemn the police department or their job they do If the system is so bad against black people why was Floyd in the streets free after committing crime after crime after crime including drug purchases from criminals.
