They can plead away, we all watched them ensure George wasn’t helped while being murdered.

[annatryjesus]

Hate will never win, it only causes pain for all involved.

[sclavojars]

They didn't have any regards for a human life, I would give "death penalty"! 'Especial feelings for the one kneeling" on that human being!

[republicandemocrats]

If amahd Aubrey prosecutor was there they would be in trouble

[felixacosta]

if chauvin was sentenced to 22½ years and will be sentenced on additional charges, we expect the other 3 rotten apples in the barrel to be equally sentenced..equal sentences to all 4..

[ChooseCompassion]

I hope they get the maximum allowed. I don’t know how any human being could’ve stood there while that lynching was happening and not feel compelled to step up and do something. It might as well have been all of their knees on Mr. Floyd’s neck.

They didn't kill the thug, so they should walk free.

[teekash]

I think officer Lane deserves to be tried differently to the others. He was new, tried to challenge Chauvin the veteren to turn George Floyd and also rendered CPR in the ambulance.

1:11 - Why don't POC's have this much Passion & Intensity when it comes to a job application?

[daniellebrooks]

They all are guilty they all held him down and blocked aid

[bojingle]

Fentanyl is a hell of a drug. To bad they will go to prison for that piece of craps mistake.

[hrwhitney]

As far as a Gestapo cop is concerned. Power brings corruption and abuse

[topnews]

They are gulity as sin 3 murders who didn't give a dam if died or not.
A firing squad should be their punishment

[alexhawkins]

Not responsible for what Chauvin did. End the witch hunt!

[Free_Snooki]

I'd rather be dead than have to live the lives that they have to live.
