Riots were a result of Trump's lies about a stolen election.
Riots as a result of institutional racism aren't a result of Water's comments.
The jury knows an acquittal will be greeted with violence, the judge is guilty of wishful thinking. Helps explain how all white male juries would convict or acquit based on race and tribe, fear of the mob is a powerful motivator. Its a form of jury tampering.
Is not the whole point of common law systems, that the first case defines the law, then you apply that ruling to others situations? It is not inconsistent to not charge people with what was just declared legal?
Maxime Waters made up institution racism. Months before the riots she just made it up. She said: yeah, there's racism. It's so sad.
I dont think her comments made a difference, I'm not even sure angry mobs mattered. Well, I cant say that. I cant imagine the jurors blocking that out but I also dont see fault with their verdict. I may not have gone with 2nd degree but I probably would have if I was the lone hold out. But it is a general argument about the nature of jury trials in the midst of a highly charged atmosphere.
You actually can't prove either of these.
And not the only tampering in this case, sadly. Appeal is nearly guaranteed here and there is a lot of basis for claiming mistrial. It's not a good look for anybody.
As was pointed out repeatedly and emphatically during the impeachment proceedings, they were not a trial/court of law and in fact did not require any actual crime to happen. Where is that argument now?
Her conduct in question isn't her lies about institutional racism. They reflect poorly on her, similar to how Trump's obviously false claims reflected poorly on him when he made them. Her conduct is actively encouraging people to kick people out of businesses or to "get more active" in the context of people already rioting, putting more pressure on a trial that was already rife with outside influence and fear for jurors.
The reason manslaughter applies and not murder is the reasonable doubt as to cause of death (especially that autopsy did not show trauma consistent with expected wrt knee on neck killing someone), timing of death, and conduct of even the paramedics (who wanted out of there/felt area was insecure). Manslaughter holds because of the custody argument + extra duration.
This was not a jury decision arrived at via a factual analysis of the evidence presented, though with attempts to dox them I assign only a small amount of blame to them. They likely feared for their lives if coming to a different verdict, and that fear is reasonable.

And research also shows the number of unarmed black people killed by cops is far lower than what the population believes, so somebody's lying.
Victims were majority white (52%) but disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites. Most victims were reported to be armed (83%); however, black victims were more likely to be unarmed (14.8%) than white (9.4%) or Hispanic (5.8%) victims. Fatality rates among military veterans/active duty service members were 1.4 times greater than among their civilian counterparts

Tell me more about these lies.Her conduct in question isn't her lies about institutional racism.

Tell me more about these lies.
You think the issue here is not the nearly 3 time police shooting rate, but its the 50% more likely to be kill while being unarmed ? Or that the numbers killed in such a manner arent a problem ? Maybe it has to do with all of these problems and what triggered this backlash has been a gruesome police killing as the pot has been boiling away from some time.

If "people's guess in an online survey is wrong" = lying then then is a lot of it about.I didTell me more about these lies.
"How many unarmed black people were killed by cops in 2019? Will it surprise you to learn people, especially Democrats, are way off with their guesses?"
Show me the lie. Who liedI did

There we go. Quote?you've been lied to by people like Maxine Waters.
And quote?Hell, when the capitol cop died Joe Biden was calling him a racist.

And quote?
Most witnesses claimed he physically charged at the officer. One witness initially claimed Brown had his hands in the air before recanting his account.
“No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protestors yesterday that they wouldn’t have been treated very differently than the mob that stormed the Capitol,” Biden tweeted. “We all know that’s true — and it’s unacceptable.”
the people guessing are not the liars
You wont answer my questions, why should I bother with yours?

That became a BLM slogan. We all heard about how the racist George Zimmerman stalked and murdered Trayvon. That was a lie too. In both cases Brown and Martin attacked people with guns. BLM was founded on those 2 lies.
You have no proof of those lies except the reports from racist cops and prosecutors. given the complete disdain I have for any officer's "word" at this point and their obvious willingness to badger witnesses into lying there is no reason for me to believe any of this without video evidence. That's what happens when decades of police abuse completely erode any faith in their honesty or integrity. I used to default to the word of the officer, now and until reform is enacted and embraced by their profession the exact opposite will be true. ACAB for the very reason that they believe themselves above the law and have complete disdain for the citizens they are supposed to be serving. Fork Zimmerman, Fork the SLPD and the "prosecutors" who tanked that case in front of the grand jury. . .
To be sure your faith in your state agents as a purported libertarian is duly noted you fake.
And white victims were more likely to be unarmed than Hispanics. How do you explain that with institutional racism? Or are these numbers a product of where the guns and drugs are and the effort of law enforcement to deal with black market violence?
I was relying on the witnesses and the physical evidence in both cases.
You got me, Police are racist against the whites.
or you know you could have spent 5 seconds to google how many Hispanics are being killed by police vs white ?
Spoiler :
there was no physical evidence and nothing a dirty ******* cop could not taint. . . again their absolute disdain for any accountability taints any faith I would put in their testimony, especially if it involves their wrong doing. ACAB. Enough of the population is on my side of this debate that you really need to ask yourselves a fundamental question. Is not reforming the cops worth the continuing destruction and mayhem it causes to your precious precious property? Cause the protests and yea the ensuing criminals of opportunity who loot and burn are not going anywhere until something is done.
