I'm sort of expecting the majority of the shit to go down Monday. That is when the majority of protests are scheduled.
Of course, if he is not convicted, all hell will break loose.

Maybe it's just pessimism but given the track record when it comes to cops actually being punished for their actions I feel like he's gonna beat the charges tbh

Well, Mohamed Noor got 12.5 years in Minneapolis. A fact which has just recently been brought back to public attention with his recent appeal.
If he does beat the charges, it's not only going to look like cops are immune from punishment. It's going to look like a particular palette of cops are immune from punishment. And that would pretty much be the end of the idea that minorities can find justice in Minnesota. I don't know how we'd ever restore trust after that. It would be a nightmare.

Noor went to prison because he killed an Australian. Had he shot a white American woman, I don't think he'd be in jail rn.

What's your proof that him shooting a white woman sent him to prison? I think the fact she was a forsign national from a first world nation with strong ties to America mattered more than her skintone, u know, considering police kill whites without any qualms all the time.

Adding on to that, there’s a narrative in some parts of the black community that the police somehow "work for" East Asians, particularly business owners. That’s verifiably false and has never been true considering how they completely abandoned the Korean-American businesses in 1992
Unfortunately that narrative has seen a bit of a resurgence due to one of the George Floyd cops, Tou Thao, being Asian

Wasn't one of the cops black too? Like the George Floyd incident was basically reality calling bullshit on the idea that diversifying the police will solve police brutality.

Kentucky bill would make it a crime to insult a police officer

Everyone is a snowflake now. People are snowflakes for non political reasons too. When you see any single side call another side a snowflake, it's best to remind them their side isn't snowflake free. I sure as hell know my political camp isn't.
Anyways fuck the Kentucky legislature.
