Tuesday marks the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody. President Biden plans to welcome Floyd’s family members to the White House, a move that further taints the jury pool while ratifying the preferred narrative that the cops awaiting trial are guilty of murder.
Former officer, Derek Chauvin, was found guilty of murdering Floyd by what appears to have been a rigged jury. Biden urged the jury to make the “right” decision – that Chauvin was guilty – while they deliberated, an attempt, intended or not, to telegraph to the nation and future jurors that any motion for retrial or appeal filed by Chauvin should be a non-starter. At least one of the jurors deciding the guilt or innocence of Chauvin was a BLM protester who went to Washington, DC to see Floyd’s family members speak at a March on Washington. He claimed on his jury form that he’d never attended such a protest.
