    Jurors no doubt understood potential consequences if they voted to acquit Chauvin. But the problem I have with the "mob justice" case is that the verdict was completely defensible. Nobody knows how jury would have ruled in a vacuum. But ultimately the decision was reasonable.

        No one put a gun to anyone’s head, so what’s your point?

        Exactly. And even if you think murder 2 is out of line (I don't), you're still arguing that someone who is clearly guilty of manslaughter was over-charged. Fair enough. But maybe don't get crazy sanctimonious about it.

        Hey this case where we saw a guy kneel on another guy's neck for thirty minutes while handcuffed that led to death? Yeah, it's reasonable.

        but the decision was more than reasonable. The *chief of police* was a witness for the prosecution.

        The Mob Justice folks know the position "Killing Floyd was Justified" is indefensible, but they still want to get that reasoning out there in a more palatable way.

        When people are calling the police on the police, you know it's bad.
