re: Protests blowing up in Downtown Birmingham

None of these three will be convicted of anything close to resembling 2nd degree murder. They're going to have a long road to convicted these three of anything at all. Interfering more than they did would probably have ended worse for them than this inevitably will.

If they agree to testify against Chauvin, the deal they'll get will probably be worse than if they went to trial and saw this out to the end.

In your clairvoyant argument, is there somehow some justification for these cops to not have done the human thing here?

The fact that we have a broken judicial system is another reason why all these hundreds of thousands of people with mixed ethnicity have taken to the streets. This protest has moved the needle considerably with the speed and severity of these charges. Unprecedented even. So I'll go ahead and practice some future predictions of my own. Something tells me these protesters are going to see this case through the judicial side as well.
