Yeah funny that if I'm driving the car in a bank robbery and one of my fellow criminals shoots someone, I can be charged with murder in some states. Doesn't seem to apply to cops who find themselves in the same situation though, even when they had ample opportunity to prevent it.

Not defending that ridiculous law btw, just pointing out how it only seems to apply one way.

Anyway, great result in the end. And it only took a video clearly showing the murder happening to get justice. Pathetic that even yesterday the BBC (for the sake of balance, presumably) managed to find one cop to interview still willing to defend Chauvin, who believes that even if he's convicted, it's just because of public opinion rather than the obvious evidence of murder. It just shows this idea of a few bad apples is utter bollocks. The whole system is corrupt and they always look out for their own no matter what they've done. No better than a criminal gang in uniform.

I remember watching a video about how they manage to make their money despite the fact that advertisers have dropped them left, right and centre. Basically, they charge way more to the cable companies than any other news network on the belief that people won't sign up for cable if it doesn't include Fox. So it basically means that Fox gets funded by the majority of people that never even watch it. What really needs to happen is for all of those customers to say to their cable companies that they will cancel their contracts unless Fox is gone. Even if Fox stayed on a similar deal to other news networks, they'd suddenly find themselves subject to the same commercial pressures to not explicitly air white supremacist talking points.
 
Sentencing later today.

Chauvin's lawyers have asked for leniency with a sentence of probation because he has a heart condition and will be a target in jail.
