If you agree that chauvin should have been acquitted because of “reasonable doubt”.........
Wait until you find out how many Americans are on death row or are currently in prison for FAR less evidence and WAY more reasonable doubt.

It took 11 months for justice to be served. A man was killed in broad daylight but because 1) the victim was black and 2) the murderer was a cop, the verdict was always in doubt. True justice is when this doesn't happen and cops are afraid to abuse their power. #DerekChauvinTrial
Unpopular opinion: Officer lane should have a lighter sentence than the rest.
Because he was the only one who tried multiple times to get chauvin to put Floyd in the recovery position.

NEVER FORGET:
Derek Chauvin was at his second home in Florida when people took to the streets to demand an arrest and charges.
The justice system was going to let it ride. We had videos from 50 angles for this “justice.”

Today, the hope of BIPOC interacting with police went from "if I'm killed, they'll walk free" to "if I'm killed, they may be found guilty."
Hopefully someday soon our hope will be "I'll be treated fairly. I'll be treated just like a white person."

I’m not a 4/20 person. But tonight I might be
#DerekChauvinTrial
Guilty on all charges
#DerekChauvinTrial
There is hope after this verdict but make no mistake, this is only the start of a journey - time for “justice” to be trending in the real world, not just one night on social media. #DerekChauvinTrial #GeorgeFloyd
Thinking of the Floyd family getting a sliver of justice

Me to Derek chauvin :
#DerekChauvinTrial
Thank God for the jury making the right decision. I’m so happy Chauvin will likely never see the light of day again. #DerekChauvinTrial
That took WAY too long for an obvious murderer to be legally declared a murderer but I'm just glad it's done. #DerekChauvinTrial
Guilty on all 3 counts. #DerekChauvinTrial #derekchauvinisguilty
I predict that there will be bad actors tonight causing property damage and violence. Bad actors will be trying to PROVE that “even a guilty verdict can’t satisfy them.”
So if you are out, stay alert and record everything you can. #DerekChauvinTrial
People like to use the Rodney king trial as an example of unrest after cases. You know why there was unrest? We watched officers damn near kill a man and walk. It was on FILM. #DerekChauvinTrial
My heart is pounding out of my chest. #DerekChauvinTrial
They shouldn’t be making us wait. Come on. #DerekChauvinTrial
My gut is telling me guilty. The signs are pointing to guilty. I hope and pray they got it right… #DerekChauvinTrial
Very quick verdict considering it’s been only 11+ hours… #DerekChauvinTrial
If there’s no verdict today, sadly, I think it’ll be a hung jury. Hope I’m wrong though. #DerekChauvinTrial
Praying for a guilty verdict today… #DerekChauvinTrial
Is the jury sequestered right now? #DerekChauvinTrial
The 'Maxine Waters gambit' enters the courtroom #DerekChauvinTrial
I get chills hearing Blackwell #DerekChauvinTrial
