Notice all those "police apologists" aren't out rioting, burning and looting because they may disagree with the verdict.

Ah, another Being Pro Police thread to end the year, and perhaps the account.

Can't wait to see 'Mr. White Christmas'' acrid response to this.

He definitely needs to drink egg nog and eat some beef, and pass it to the missus...

Yup. The "police apologists" are out in full force on this...
The jury’s conviction of Minnesota police officer Kim Potter for the death of Daunte Wright, coupled with the judge’s denial of bail pending her appeal, is a double injustice with dangerous implications for policing in America.
According to ultra right wing conservative Alan Dershowitz. :roll:

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I'm not anti-police, but involuntary manslaughter probably is appropriate in this instance.

I support a suspended sentence, however.

Agree on both fronts.

I could be on board with involuntary manslaughter, but Keith Ellison the former leftist activist and DNC chair, chose to charge first-degree and second-degree manslaughter. That's a whole different ball game.

That should be overturned.

I do think she was overcharged but 12 jurors thought otherwise.

She stands a decent chance of winning on appeal.

As far as I know they need grounds for an appeal. You can't just appeal a verdict you don't like.
What sort of grounds are they pressing or suggesting?

Read the Dershowitz column I linked to above. He lays out several reasons for appeal.
