Vandals Smear Chauvin Defense Witness’ Former Santa Rosa Home With Pig’s Blood
April 17, 2021 at 11:46 pm
SANTA ROSA (CBS SF) — The former Santa Rosa home of Barry Brodd, who testified as a defense witness in the Derrick Chauvin murder trial, was smeared with pig’s blood and had a severed pig’s head dumped on the front porch in an early Saturday morning vandalism attack.
Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, is currently on trial facing murder charges in the death of George Floyd.
Santa Rosa police said officers responded at 3:07 a.m. to a residence in a west Santa Rosa neighborhood that had just been vandalized.
Investigators believe the vandals thought that Brodd — a former Santa Rosa police officer — still lived at the residence, but he has been a Santa Rosa resident for a number of years.
“Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted,” police said in a news release.
The suspects also left a sign in front of the statue which had a picture of a pig and read “Oink Oink.” They were seen fleeing the area and matched the descriptions of the suspects who vandalized the house.
Is anybody still labouring under the illusion that this trial can possibly be fair?
Win or lose, I mean, US media are doing their best to turn this into the next Rodney King, facts be damned.
Dude's very likely not going to be charged with murder. Cities everywhere are gonna lose their shit.
Of course they are. If you're listening to CNN, all you'll see if the prosecution in the middle of a slam-dunk and yet unaccountably not getting the conviction - what can you conclude from the coverage except that the US is so thoroughly racist than a cop can kill a black guy in the street without issue?
