You have Maxine Waters making open threats.

You have the jurors and their families under threat by BLM and ANTIFA.

You have the President of the United States saying he "prays for the right verdict"

You have the media going on an all out blitz.

The jury just basically did what they had to do to prevent Minneapolis from burning and their families from getting hurt. In essence they passed the buck so they wouldn't have to deal with the responsibility themselves.

Chauvin was an idiot, no doubt, but that trial was completely compromised, and if it's not declared a mistral on appeal, then we're gonna have to go Judge Dredd and dispense justice ourselves.
