Derek Chauvin guilty
Jury found the officer guilty of all three charges . I believe he will be in jail/prison for the rest of his life . Sad for everyone involved.

Justice.
Sitting on a guy's neck for 9 minutes is not justified regardless of what happened prior to the arrest. Not sure why it is sad for everyone, Chauvin got what was coming.

I hope that, when the judge read three GUILTY verdicts, Derek Chauvin was breathless.

Pandering. Not justice.

Sad for everyone involved , I said that because an officers career is gone , a man lost his life , friends and families on both sides have emotional scars for a lifetime . To me that is sad for all involved .

Yeah, well Congresswoman Waters made sure there will be an appeal. And a good chance of an overturned verdict.

He will be more than breathless when he hits the showers in Gen Pop.....if he survives.

It was the right call. What he did was wrong. As the OP said, sad for everyone involved.

If you've ever experienced racism, then you know it does no good to make the kinds of comments that Rep Waters and even V.P. Harris are making. I like the words of GW Bush. He emphasized commonality, compassion, and concern for justice and the rule of law. And yes, I most definitely experienced racism first-hand. It does no good to drive a wedge into racial politics, nor to spike the football and dance around over a single gulity verdict. The take away is important, and it should be that we are a better people than this whole sorry episode.

G'day!

I was hoping for a "Not Guilty" verdict and then watching all the Democratic cities burn!

Good chance he'll have to be isolated. Spending the rest of his life with bruises on his neck would be the least he could expect otherwise.

I am pro police , they have a job that puts their lives at risk on a daily basis . I wouldn't want their jobs . Having said that they chose the profession and were/are trained on how to perform the job .
This was a good arrest gone bad , the victim passed a counterfeit bill at a store . That is illegal . But when several officers have the criminal subdued/handcuffed it's time to throw him/her in the back of the squad car and go to jail . I don't care what anyone says there is no reason to keep a person restrained for nine minutes with your knee pinning down their neck . Police/fireman/doctors/nurses/teachers etc etc are a cross section of society , so that means there are some bad ones out there . Unfortunately to cull the herd sometimes people lose their lives .
