@devaney_robin No kidding. HUGE chip on his shoulder. Very clear that a (black) person can be shot dead if they don't immediately comply with an order. Period.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#AndrewBrownJr so what the DA is saying is that any time any one (read Black person) does not comply with commands they can be legally shot by police - period. His twisted logic is that Brown's non compliance was tantamount to threatening the officers.

@BlueAnonShaman1 @ms_renee09 @sohzu89 @Sheamusthedude @_NikNakPadEWak_ @JagNL @PatriciaLavatai @ajplus Saying that this is WHY racial discrimination CONTINUES to exist!

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@AchesComplaints All lives matter. It's just that blacks bear the brunt of the killing. Let's not let them divide us. There's room for all on the All Lives Matter train regardless of race, ethnicity, economic status etc.

@ZoomStation @newsmax Chauvin killed Floyd. The verdict was correct and has nothing to do with emotions and fear. The jury followed the charges, the law and the judge's instructions. What you think of Floyd is irrelevant. Murder is murder.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@CountessZw21 That's why the media needs to investigate police reports and even (doctored) bodycam footage. Imagine how many atrocities have been committed that we DON'T know about.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@DeepwaterPiera9 Yes they were because of all of the past cases where cops got off. And they didn't have to find anything. Another cop shot a 15-year old black child. The protesters didn't do that, the cop did.

#chauvinverdict - To those who view support of the Chauvin verdict as anti-police - it's pro-accountability. No one is trying to denigrate the honorable men and women who risk their lives every day. We just want them to be accountable for what they do.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@therealdustyc Wow. Sorrow for Chauvin spending the rest of his life in prison. Floyd DOESN"T have a life. What a stunning example of White makes Right.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@MlTCH_MCCONELL @KarenFerrara @AshaRangappa_ They didn’t have to prove Chauvin intended to kill Floyd, only that he intended to apply unlawful force that caused bodily harm. Read the jury instructions and charging documents.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#chauvinverdict - The fact that few believed that Chauvin would be held accountable speaks volumes about our broken system. The verdict was a win, but much to be done to deliver true equality for people of color in interactions with the police and the criminal justice system

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#chauvinverdict - A key takeaway from the Chauvin verdict - these cases should be charged and tried by STATE attorneys, not the local District Attorneys who work with police day in and day out - criminals must be held accountable - Even if they are police officers

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#chauvinverdict - There's a lesson for the press here - Chauvin would have gotten away with murder if there hadn't been a video contradicting the FALSE police report that lied about why Floyd died. Question and Verify. Police reports cannot be taken at face value. Sad but true.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#chauvinverdict - Let's remember the factors behind this verdict - video contradicting a FALSE police report, police testifying against a rogue officer, putting the case in the hands of the country v district attorney and a jury that did the right thing

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@stinchfield1776 @RepMaxineWaters Nonsense!! They reviewed the evidence, the charges and the Judge's directions and arrived at the obvious result. The violence didn't start with Maxine, it started with Chauvin's actions. The only people inciting violence were the folks that ravaged the Capitol Jan 6.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#chauvinverdict - Thank God!!! A lot of work to do and a long way to go, but good news nonetheless. Cautiously optimistic that there may be hope after all.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#ChavinTrial Now defense counsel is arguing mistrial because of the notoriety of the case and the fact that the jury wasn't sequestered. Too bad dude . . that's where we are . . . deal with it.

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

#ChauvinTrial - Blackwell rebuttal -- BAM!!

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@BluelivesCraig Glad you're not the judge or a juror as well. Look up your facts before spouting dubious opinions and "common sense."

[Illustrious Bat @BatIllustrious]

@BluelivesCraig Wrong. Typically, second-degree murder is defined as murder that is not premeditated, or murder that is caused by the offender's reckless conduct that displays an obvious lack of concern for human life.
