After it became obvious former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin would be convicted of murdering George Floyd, Democrats Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and His Fraudulency Joe Biden timed their respective outbursts hoping there would be a mistrial, which would usher in a new wave of Black Lives Matter riots.
Just as the case was about to go to the jury, Waters stood at Ground Zero Brooklyn Center, Minnesota and said there must be more intense violence even more intense than the endless riots we saw last year after Floyd’s murder if Chauvin was not convicted of first-degree murder. Chauvin was not even charged with first-degree murder.
