How do you see it playing out?

How do you see it playing out?

Nothing would surprise me if I’m honest Jon. I’m a betting man, but even I wouldn’t be backing any horse in this race

The American Justice system is absolutely mental.

How do you see it playing out?

Badly

 

[BigPete]

Be more kick offs if he gets off with it.

Wonder how long the trial will last?

 

[rokerexile]

He'll get off and the riots will start again is my prediction.

 

[safccfas]

He gets off with it and the riots start and more people killed.
He gets sent down and the riots start and more people are killed.
God love America!

 

[Jon Dough]

He'll get off and the riots will start again is my prediction.

I truthfully can't see him getting off, but the second part of your prediction is probably accurate.

He gets sent down and the riots start and more people are killed.
God love America!

Thank the lord almighty for the right to bear arms

I think a lot of his defence would be on his training to apprehend non-complicit prisoners.
If he had been trained in the technique of restraining a non-compliant prisoner by kneeling on their neck, then he will probably get off with it.
It the technique is not in the police "handbook" - then he will get time.

 

[Cypher]

He took the taking the knee message wrongly.

I’m back at work on Thursday so I’m hoping its quick - I think the reality is that it’ll run for weeks

It’s an interesting angle certainly. I’m not familiar with police handbooks but surely it doesn’t state you have to hold your ‘stance’ until the suspect stopped breathing.

Guilty - the world is watching

Aye. He's bang to rights anyway but this is also a show trial.

 

[Cheesy Feet]

I watched a video the other week that explains how the knee on the neck is an actual restraining method used by the Minnesota Police..if his sentence was to be reduced because of that..dread to think what will happen.

If he goes down, which he should, they'll need to keep him out of general population. Inmates don't take kindly to cops.

The AB will look after him

Think pretty much all ex cops are segregated over there, he certainly would be

AB?

Tbh never heard of an ex cop being murdered in prison here, but then again cops here have a crazy high level of immunity in the criminal justice system that most always get off.
