Thanks, Derek Chauvin Jurors! You’re Safe Now. We Aren’t.

Thanks, Derek Chauvin Jurors! You’re Safe Now. We Aren’t.

To watch the hours of celebratory fist-pumping from government officials and black activists after the guilty verdicts against police officer Derek Chauvin this week, you’d think Minnesota had just won the NCAA tournament.

One man is dead and another will be spending up to 40 years in prison. How about Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison show a little dignity, with something like: “We had the trial; we’ve got a verdict; I’m not taking any questions”?

Nope! We got a one-hour spirit rally for the championship team. The key was teamwork. Our guys practiced every night — staying even after the gym had closed! We couldn’t have done it without the fans.

There wasn’t this much triumphalism when Ted Bundy was convicted! He murdered 30 women, escaped from jail twice, and killed again before finally being brought to trial. We didn’t have hours of gloating after they got the Green River Killer, and it took 20 years to catch him.

Maybe we’ve gotten less decorous in the past few decades. But how about celebrating the conviction of a gangbanger who killed an 8-year-old girl in a drive-by? Would the media be as giddy about that?

Not likely. Wild celebrations are in order only for the railroading of a cop.

The prosecutors must feel great! All it took was threatening the jurors with riots and personal destruction to get the verdict they wanted. Real Ciceros, these guys.

Chauvin was forced to flee his home last year, which naturally had been vandalized, requiring constant police presence. Barricades have recently been erected around the home of officer Kim Potter, who accidentally shot escaping violent gun offender Daunte Wright last week.

The day before Chauvin’s case went to the jury, a defense witness — a witness! — had his former home in California vandalized with pigs’ blood and a pig’s head.

So I’m sure the jurors reached their verdict purely based on the evidence, after a careful weighing of both sides in the Anglo-Saxon tradition.

We’re told that this is only the beginning, big changes are in the air. Does that mean every case against a cop will come with threats of mob violence?

Here’s one big change in policing that will come out of the Chauvin trial: No longer will police use the least amount of force on vulnerable individuals, like George Floyd. From here on out, the safety of the perp will take a back seat to avoiding unflattering cellphone videos.

A key point brought out at trial was this: As soon as Chauvin arrived on the scene, he would have been within his rights to use a Taser or stun gun on Floyd. The prosecution’s use-of-force experts agreed!

Chauvin employed a less aggressive restraint that looked worse to bystanders. Big mistake.

By now, surely, all law enforcement officers realize that their one overriding concern must always be the optics, not the reality. Unlike other public servants, police have to do their jobs while under the watchful eye of cellphone cameras. What matters is how things appear to idiot onlookers.

Heart disease is rampant in the African American community. Combine that with drug use and behavioral problems — and there are a lot more George Floyds out there waiting to happen.

According to the medical examiner, it was the stress of being restrained — combined with Floyd’s heart condition and massive amount of fentanyl in his system — that killed him. If lying on the ground was too much stress on Floyd’s heart, how about 50,000 volts of electricity?

Again, according to the state’s use-of-force experts, that would have been A-OK.

Got a resisting arrestee? Zap him with the stun gun and heave him in the back of the police van. Whatever happens after that, at least you won’t have a chubby EMT screaming at you and taking videos.

True, Floyd stood a better chance of going on living by NOT being zapped with a stun gun. On the other hand, Chauvin stood a better chance of staying out of prison if he’d just gotten Floyd in the police van, pronto.

The other big change coming down the pike is that we are headed back to the 1960s in terms of crime. Already, 2020 marked the largest year-to-year increase in murders in the history of the country. In Minneapolis alone, the murder rate doubled. Get ready for a lot more violent crime, emboldened criminals and less aggressive police.

To the unwitting citizens of Minnesota who will soon have their lives snuffed out, just remember: The jurors were worried about their own personal security. It was your life or theirs, and they decided the better part of valor was to sacrifice yours.

Their motto: I regret that I have only dozens of other people’s lives to give for my virtue.

“First we kill all the lawyers.” I mean maybe, but starting with the actors would also be OK.

What was that SNL line?…Acting! Actors should hire non actors to speak for them otherwise we all know they are just doing what they are trained to do.

Big pit, and the actors and lawyers in there, on top of the journalists. Then take the covers off and point.

I clicked on your post under ‘recent comments’, specifically to drop this off/ask if you’ve ever seen this?

I watched this about 15 yrs. ago when it first came out. It’s under 3 hrs, it is what we are seeing today, in part.

Most around here seem to like the printed version, so from time to time I have posted pdf s of various Rockefeller foundation papers….as in the recent SPARS 2025-2028 pdf and a video assessment of them…

For anyone that gives a rat’s ass, the vid is actually 2 hrs 18 min. long. The last 30 min. is video coverage of Jones (co-intel) bull horning rick perry and vicente fox, with some footage of seatlle cops arresting a citizen for flipping the bird, after a protestor attacked him thru an open sun roof……

I’ve done this bullshit for over 20 yrs.

Been saying for a while that the defund the police is step one towards a US government run police force. The reasons this is going to happen was foretold in the tiananmen square massacre.

Most have no clue that the CCP executed 17 ( at least ) regimental and division commanders who refused to roll on the Square. The brought in parts of an army group from 1200 miles away to gun them down. Seems the locals knew they would kill kin and refused.

Gunna happen. Book it

Ann makes some good points, and her overall point (which I’ll re-frame below) is true, BUT one thing she says is disingenuous: being held in a prone position was deemed relatively problem-free (compared to being tased) in the Canadian study referenced during trial, BUT that study didn’t look at being in the prone position with a knee on your neck/back. Chauvin should have had the good sense to get off after 3-4 minutes. Of course, he was a high school drop-out (albeit one who eventually got his GED and a BA), so he’s probably not the brightest guy. I hope the judge goes easy on him. Actual first degree murderers routinely get convicted of only 2nd degree if there is no witness, and in some cases are out in only 4-5 years. My hero Carl Muggli gets out next summer.

Her bigger point is true, though: Restricting allowable police tactics WILL result in more overall deaths. Thought experiment for libs: if eliminating all questionable police killings per year (let’s say 200 of the 1,000 overall police shootings) meant a 5% increase in overall crime, would you take that deal? Hint: It would mean a lot more dead people.

Maybe we could designate some neighborhoods as “police-free”. Whoever is more afraid of cops than criminals could live there.

Defunding and removing police out of precincts with African majorities will go a long way in reducing involvement of law enforcement in their Black lives which is exactly what the clamoring and riots have been all about. Let them have at it.

If the police had not been involved, shooting at the Negro female monster who was going to stab its gurlfrend, in the latest killing in Ohio, then no police would have jeopardized their lives for those who don’t want the police involved. Seems to be an easy win-win.

Or even better is have African American police only patrol and respond to calls in African American neighborhoods. Also a win-win.

Ann is just avoiding saying the obvious. Chauvin was convicted cause he was white and banana dance Floyd was black. As far as policing goes, white cops aren’t going to start using more force against
non-compliant/ violent black suspects, they are going to use no force at all. They will just start letting the feral beasts run wild, but hold on fellow white people cause it gets better. Just because the cops won’t keep negros under control that doesn’t mean you get too. If you defend yourself or just try to protect your neighborhood from one of these subhuman apes, you will get arrested, doxxed and your property and family will be threatened. Even if you somehow get found not guilty, you will be broke and potentially hunted for the rest of your life, aka George Zimmerman. Isn’t the new diverse, un-racist America just fucking wonderful?

The reaction to the White cop who shot the murderous, knifey sheboon illustrates the complete pointlessness of attending Black crimes against other Blacks. Whatever he did there he was doomed.

It is already happening. Watch the video where the female officer confused gun for tazer. The white officers were back away from the suspect while a black officer was attempting to restrain the suspect, but seemed to not know how handcuffs work. The suspect broke away from the black officer forcing the white female officer to action. They are already trying to minimize their interactions because they know the riot circus is one cell video away.

How the entire police force of Minnesota have not called in sick for several weeks is beyond me. The police are not my favourites, but allowing one of their own to be railroaded without taking any action is curious.

A month long blue flu would shake things up. No one answering any calls, no one responding to anything would cause an entire rethink.

Unless the whole point is to drive Whites out of police work, and replace them with completely amoral brown people – like the military is doing.

A kangaroo court show trial that would have made the Bolsheviks proud.

Any government capable of producing this result is so incomprehensibly corrupt, that it deserves to be utterly destroyed.
