Investing.com -- A jury in Minneapolis found former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd on Tuesday after approximately 10 hours of deliberation in a closely-watched trial.

The unanimous verdict found Chauvin guilty on all counts, including two counts of murder. The trial lasted three weeks, and city officials were braced for potential violence once the verdict came in.

Television news shows broadcast the verdict live and videos and photos showed a large number of people gathered on the lawns outside the courthouse.

Floyd's killing last May set off nationwide protests over the use of police force and sparked a new movement for racial justice.

If this is all about racisn, how come he wasnt charged with a hate crime?
blm wins.
kaveh Sun... so you support a cop who likes to ki/ll.
MW most racist ever.
Exterminate all the brutes
They have to convict him. Otherwise h/e/l/l breaks loose. That is fact
OJ was guilty as ****too.
gleghorn st gleghorn, Sun.... stay focused this about a cop who likes to abuse and brutalize people of color.
are you comparing something where there was no witness, no video and no evidence. to a police officer on camera for 9mins on a person's back and neck?

Most thugs become cop so they can get away with things.
Who in his right mind would strangle a man handcuffed to death? Devil Chauvin.
yes
horde NotTrade...you are showing us all what you are a white supremacist who supports dirty brutal cops.
no matter what race you, the devil is the devil. he comes in all forms , shapes and racists
I guess the mob is pleased
A combination of hate for a man being black and a knee pressed on his upper back. High or not, George couldnt breathe.
 LOL you're so racist, you project your racism, as if you can project the hate that you have in your heart, across time and space to inject that hate into someone else, because you just want to have an excuse to harm a white cop.  I get it.  We all know you're racist now.
Your argument has no basis my friend. If you knew me, you would change your mind. My fight is against racism period, whether its from whites, asians, or my own. I dont condone that type of energy around me and my family. Believe what you will tho
The media hates whites, politicians hate whites, our courts hate whites, our institutions hate whites. Are you waking up yet whites and see that these people don't wanna coexist with you?
your ancestors left Europe to escape property, racism and for religious freedom. A plane ticket back to Europe would be good for you as well...
who created the U.S.? That's right, all white men
which doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things.
Unfortunately, the great majority of other unjustified murders by the police do not even make it to court. Until the US changes materialy in these state sanctioned murders the human rights indignation toward other countries will remain hollow
its a good decision to maintain peace and bring closure..chauvin is like a little bacteria in the universe,doesn't matter what happens to him..
It's amazing there are so many legal experts here with access to all the information presented at the trial. Crazy.
Watch the bodycam footage and tell us Chauvin killed Floyd. In fact he was actively trying to get an ambulance for Floyd. He died from a schock due to Fentanyl + heart condition. That is a fact. This verdict is a political verdict. You want the imagination of the mob to rule? One day you will personally pay for it in a corrupt legal system.
I'm sure that's what you think since your flavor of media spins it that way but you're telling me every juror who had been vetted by the defense was somehow convinced or bribed or threatened to vote against him and not one came forward? They had the facts and you don't and never will. But you people love your conspiracies as we've all seen.
ok. what share should i buy. No i don't want to make fun, but this is investing.
We need integrity and accountability in the stock market too or there will be consequences. There. Fixed that for you.
excellent point, hopefully someone has some tips...
I must say Chauvin's lawyer is a brave man. Defending chauvin may as well ruin the rest of his life. the mobs can literally burn you down alive.

They are lucky people didn't ********the racist cops and their families long time now.
They could have charged the guy with insider trading of GME and they jury would have found him guilty...the mob do.xed and thre.atened a guy who donated $10 to rittenhouse. No way the jury is going to be able to make an impartial decision. Maxine Waters definitely did this guy a huge favor for an appeal.

How was he charged with three different things?
It does not make sense, it's just to appease the rioters, so the town city is not destroyed.  Giving the idea to people that lynch-mobs can threaten to riot, if a jury doesn't rule in their favor, emotionally.
Go look it up you smart one

The jury probably fears for their life more than Floyd did, I suspect that especially with what Maxine Waters did that they will easily get a mistrial/appeal. The people out there burning down cities and using intimidation/terror are doing the guy a favor. The judge even openly came out and said Maxine Waters messed up.
it's time blacks enslave whites for 200 years to get even.
 "yeah, pay bo attention to the 70+ years of slavery in the US after Us had acheived independence from the Brits. 🙄"  --- You'd have to ignore everything else I wrote, for you to skip over what I wrote, just for you to come out and ask this.  As I stated in the comments above, British corporations still were here in America, and the land owners and farmers, slavers, still sold cotton to Monarchy.  Who do you think William Hearst is?  Did you even do any research on the outlawing of hemp in America?  Do you know who DuPont is?  Do you know the background of who outlawed hemp to sell their slave-cotton?
The US is going through South African race relations right now. Blacks and jews inciting race hatred against whites and demanding reparations for previous generations so called wrong doings. The difference between SA and USA is one trillion bullets in the hands of civilians. There wont be piles of burned and maimed white people like the SA farm murders. All that will happen is a civil war with racial undertones.
keep naming them. Good work
10 bucks says they riot and burn everything down anyway
3 hours later, no riots. why not?? because justice was finally served
This is your fantasy, stop projecting it onto others
Is Duncan Lemp still dead? And still nobody cares? Yeah, this country is on a dark, dark path (no pun intended).
The jury probably fe.ars for their life more than Floyd did, I suspect that especially with what Maxine Waters did that they will easily get a mistrial/appeal.
