Today was the first day of the trial for Derek Chavin in the George Floyd case and

trials being delayed because the judge wants to add another murder charge.

Basically, they want to add, I think it's third degree murder to Chavin's list of charges,

which is serious because a lot of people think that second degree murder won't stick.

They overcharged him.

Basically you have to prove he wanted to kill somebody and that's going to be very, very

difficult to prove.

But let's be real, even with third degree murder, manslaughter is going to be hard enough

to prove as it is.

And a lot of people think Chavin will actually be acquitted.

Now, it all comes down to politics.

If politics plays a role in this, he could be convicted of all counts or he could be

found guilty on all counts because they don't want the cop to go to jail for this.

I think realistically there is a good possibility of a manslaughter charge sticking, but then

you have the fact that the Minneapolis Police Department actually trains their officers

to do exactly what Chavin did.

So by all means, criticize the department, say you don't like them for doing that, but

can you blame the individual for doing as he was trained to do?

That's where things get sticky.

In the end, I don't care.

I don't think it matters what happens.

They're going to riot.
