This is how Minnesota cops treat white people.

Hutchinson man charged in attacks on Menards employee, police officer. http://strib.mn/3mSrEPq

Employee told him to wear a mask ( there is a state mandate). He refused and assaulted the employee with a piece of lumber. A police officer approached him and the man trapped the officers arm in his car and dragged him at high speed. Then he exited the vehicle and struck the officer with a hammer.

Was he tased? No
Was he shot? Nope

Chauvin verdict being read in 30 minutes FYI

Hoping for the best. Prepared for the completely expected.

They didn’t deliberate for very long. Closing arguments were yesterday. At max they’ve had a few hours.

I think that’s a good sign.

Or a very, very bad one.

Or that the jury is irrevocably hung.

I’m sure it’d take more time than that.

Not if you have one juror who refuses to change their mind no matter what.

I can, at the very least, dispel that. The one thing we do know is that there’s no hung jury. It’s an actual verdict.

That’s something at least?

It’s lose lose on the verdict as well.

Not guilty and we lose
Guilty and the victims of the inevitable police backlash lose.

Guilty on all counts.
