I have seen a lot of predictions about this case, and I am curious what people here think about the matter.
Will Derek Chauvin be convicted or acquitted on the main charge, or will there be a hung jury?
Will Derek Chauvin be convicted or acquitted on any lesser charge, or will there be a hung jury?
In the aftermath, will there be rioting and looting if (1) he is convicted on all charges (2) he is convicted on only some of the charges and (3) if he is acquitted on all charges?
Sometimes, I envy your naive optimism.
It's not optimism, just the recognition that they need an excuse to riot, and they won't get it if he is convicted.
No, they don't. They just need people in the streets, and this trial will accomplish that.
We'll see. I'll admit that I was naive if I turn out to be wrong, but I expect the same from you.
Too late bro.

That had nothing to do with the Chauvin case, not directly anyway.
There will be looting no matter what. If chavin goes down for murder, that won't be seen to mean that 'the system works' and 'justice was served'. All it will mean is a that yes, cops are officially murderers. And that will be an excuse for a riot.
The city will burn. It's inevitable.
