Agree with Derek chauvin verdict?

I am against police defunding and against Police brutality. I have the highest respect for the good cops out there. When you are in trouble who do you call? The police. They deserve and need support from the public.

I feel like overall police do get carried away and there are a lot of egos out there. I do believe something needs to change with how the police operates and are trained.

What Derek Chauvin did was absolutely wrong. Floyd had drugs in his system and health issues that may have contributed in his own death but ultimately Derek’s show of force is what killed him. It was wrong and he deserves punishment. He makes good cops look bad.

Just curious what others think of the verdict? I feel like the three counts was a little severe

I agree with you that there are a lot of good police officers out there.

But when it's you on the street getting pulled over, and you can't count on being safe from officers who have sworn to protect and serve, when folks are afraid to complain about abuse, all citizens and all good cops suffer the consequences.

If there's one person who isn't safe, nobody is safe.

The charges were point on and so was the conviction.

More than two things had to happen - a prosecution team whose hearts were in it, public support for taking legal action, other officers who fulfilled their oaths by testifying on the side of the law.

There need to be a lot of days when right gets done, but today was a good start.
