Do We Fear the Sun a Democrat and Therefore Deny It's There?

   What more evidence do you need? Those who cannot see that George Floyd's death was wrongful might as well look up at the sun and deny it is there, perhaps believing in their hearts that the sun is a Democrat. 

   There will be no just accepting the outcome of the trial with them. Bless Chauvin. He faces a lot of time in prison. Feel for him. But, what of these right-wingers who will not just accept that Chauvin killed George Floyd wrongfully? So much evidence, yet they either blame it on drugs, or fall back on saying Maxine Waters should never have weighed in on the issue.

   Or, they lament what this will mean to police all over the nation, suggesting they will become bigger targets. What should we have done -- sacrificed justice and declared Chauvin not guilty so that will not happen?

    The case was about as open-and-shut as a case could be. Two autopsies were done. Neither concluded the death was due to drugs. One, conducted for Floyd's family, attributed the death to asphyxiation or suffocation. The other, conducted by the Hennepin County medical examiner's office, attributed the death to, "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law-enforcement subdual restraint, and neck compression."

   The medical examiner came right out and called it a homicide.

    Not to mention there was the video, showing Floyd handcuffed so he could not harm anyone, and then you get him on the ground and kneel on his neck for like nine minutes, ignoring his desperate pleas that he could not breath, ignoring bystanders pleas that you quit, ignoring an off-duty EMT officer's plea that she be allowed to help him. (She was not allowed.)

   You have the chief of police testifying that Chauvin acted in violation of department policy. 

    Yes, refuse to admit Chauvin murdered George Floyd, if you are a Republican (not all of them are that way, but many). Look up at the sun and wonder if it is Republican or Democrat before deciding if it is really there. 

   Or, rather than dealing with it, turn your wrath on Maxine Waters or Joe Biden. Did they poison the jury by declaring Chauvin guilty? How can we fathom how that affected the case? The jurors are sequestered in a hotel, strictly instructed not to listen or the watch media. That said, the case has been discussed ever since the trial began with many offering their thoughts on what they thought the outcome should be. But, when Waters and Biden came along and offered their input? Two among many who offered their opinions, and yet we point just at the them and tell them they were out of line.
