    The trial starts today apparently.

    Depending on the outcome there could be some amount of rioting and looting materialising.

    No white police officer has ever been been convicted of killing a black person but apparently a black police officer has been convicted for killing a white woman, something wrong here you would think.

    I don't know how they will be able to find an unbiased jury seeing as the States literally caught on fire after Floyd died. You'd have had to been living in an Alaskan cave not to have heard about it. The Feds got away with what they did to Rodney King because they moved the court to a mainly white neighbourhood, no way would they have gotten away with it if it happened in a central LA court. How they didn't get time is beyond me.

    Policeman needs to explain to the court why he thought it necessary to kneel on a man's neck for over 8 minutes when there were so many others on the scene helping to restrain him.

    For my tuppence worth I think he was doing the whole "yeah? and what the f.uck are you going to do about it?" bit to the person who filmed it. Folks are ready and willing to whip out their phones and film anything these days.

    Even if he is convicted of first degree murder (unlikely) and given the death penalty the chimps will be chimping in the streets after the verdict. Expect it will be something like Manslaughter or some such and our good friends at the BLM will start burning even more sh.it to the ground.

    The scene where he tries to make Piperade, but gets berated by the madame, is a classic.

    For a brief moment my Alzheimers flared up and I forgot about this felonious turd's death. I clicked this thread thinking the title was a reference to Pink Floyd playing Madison Square Garden... ****s sake
