Do you doubt the presence/ involvement of Antifa? @mrflynn03 posted a better source on the previous page. You don't have to believe the tweet I saw. Listen to the President, Attorney General, or any of a multitude of news outlets. So you aren’t against believing elected official just the ones you agree with. And no I never said I didn’t think Antifa was there. But to believe White supremacist groups aren’t also involved shows an extremely unwillingness to observe facts you disagree with.

Here's my lay person reply. The pressure the DA's office will be under is enormous. They have to weight the risk of 12 people sitting in a box determining guilty or not guilty....and everyone comes in with their own thoughts on obviously a very controversial topic. I think it was 8-9 pages back where we discussed. The public will want Murder 1 and guilty. Prosecutors understand the risks of going to trial....which in a strange way puts the onus or pressure back on the public to decide. Would you rather see this cop or cops go away for 15+ years....or walk because a white jury might see things differently. Big risk and enormous consequences. If I were the cop I'd want a jury all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is either going to be very bad for the officer or somewhat good. I have no clue. There's the rub though. If a judge decides the (I forget the exact term) probative value outweighs the relevance or whatever she or he could exclude any mention of this officers history. If that evidence doesn't come in you essentially come down to a video and the video can show many, many things....i.e. Rodney King, OJ,etc....and good defense attorneys can cast enough doubt to turn a few jurors.

If the defense can convince the original autopsy is more convincing, it may fall back to the manslaughter charge. I am totally just thinking out loud here. Good God, the weight of the world is on the prosecutor here. As bad as things are now, imagine if the verdict is not what is expected. Scary, really.

Having known a few prosecutors here in Indy over the years the conversations that are taking place in Minneapolis right now have to be 14-15 consequences of each and every action/decision deep. If we do this....what happens here. If we do that while doing this what happens,etc.....I don't envy that call one bit because to your point. This verdict will start this all up again if it goes against public demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Man, Let's be real. The evidence is called common sense that both sides have extremists making this a cluster-you know what. Both distracting us from the real issue. Our system is flawed. People are angry. We have major social issues to figure out. But the extremists on both sides win when we debate which side has the bigger douchebag extremists. Totally taking our eye off of what needs to happen. We talk more about the idiot people, on both sides, and stop talking about the good people on both sides that want to address the real issues. The more we chase rabbits, the more we fall for their sick game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about proving your point that you are right and everyone else is wrong who differs, but right now needs to be about sharing your opinion while also listening wholeheartedly to others to try and understand them. I can be very opinionated, as a lot of us are as seen in this thread, but we also need to try and understand each other as well. Like I said some pages back, we need love and compassion in this world to make things better. I lose site of that at times, and have in this thread. Hope we can unite instead of fight with what is going on. Changes need to be made, but the right away. Both sides coming together to truly work things out.

I'll be patient and let history be the judge rather than believe these officials who have already been proven to be wrong- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/st-paul-claim-arrest-out-of-state "St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter on Saturday walked back a prior claim that all those arrested in city riots a day earlier were from out of state, reportedly saying he was given inaccurate police data." I've said mutiple times I have no idea who is responsible. What I have not seen is any evidence of white Supremacists that you keep bringing up. Apparently, you haven't either.

Our pastor has said he is not comfortable, yet in having members attend church. Just curious. As I know some churches have opened up for Sunday services.

Hey Mile, We have been doing drive in church in the parking lot. It’s been awesome to still be able to come together, but stay in the vehicles (or sit by them) to keep social distancing. Our church has everyone park every other spot to ensure these rules. We do a livestream on FB too, so you can see live jamming on the bass lol. Our audio quality has been pretty poor the last couple Sundays though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
