Default Chauvin guilty on all three counts

Bail revoked and remanded into custody while awaiting sentencing.

Will there be celebration riots?

No surprise in the verdicts - in my opinion he was "convicted" before the trial began.

Not sure if there will be "celebration riots" (lets hope not), but no doubt there will be if Chauvin does not gets the sentence everyone hopes for.

It's going to be interesting to watch how it plays out.

This is the only option. If the guy gets off free of murder then the country would be in deeper shambles then it already is.

It will be chaos every time there is an arrest of a black man. This trial just fortified rioters.

Unfortunately I agree. Or they'll just mail it in, and wait for a LEO's who is (insert race here) police those who are (insert race here). So much for desegregation.

Pretty much the only option.
If he was found not guilty, the rioting would be 10 fold.
Guilty verdict probably saved lives.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

I watched most of the trial and I thought at the most he would get manslaughter. I also think he didnt stand a chance to a fair trial and I'm sure there will be some "happy" looting tonight.

Lynch mob! They have done to this cop what they have been fighting against for 2 or 3 hundred years! I don't believe for an instant he intended floyd to die. Drugs were the real reason. Chauvin may have exacerbated that, but he did not murder the man. Manslaughter at worst. Sad day for justice in America!

I personally know 3 police officers in the US who will be handing in their resignations tomorrow, effective immediately. From what they're telling me, they aren't the only ones. This verdict will only hurt those who need police the most, minority communities. Police simply won't go into those neighborhoods any longer.

I heard he had something like 98% oxygenated blood. How do they figured he killed him?

He was guilty. All the information pointed to it. Other cops are shaking their heads in disbelief on Chauvin’s behaviour.

Why sit on a guys neck for that long, while he is cuffed and prone on the ground surrounded by cops.

I would find it hard to see anyone who listened to testimony and read the court proceedings to have said he was not guilty.

Violent criminal.
Cop was hung before the trial started. I hope all the people that voted for , or want defunding of the police , register their phone numbers with 911 . When they are terrorized by a creep like George Floyd and call for help they get a recorded message that would say " Not today pal , your on your own , were low on fuel and manpower."

I 100% agree with you guys saying he was found guilty before the trial. Anything else other than guilty on all counts would have resulted in absolute pandemonium pretty much across the entire United States and the dirty parts of Canada. Political correctness takes precedence over justice these days and with justin and joe in charge it’s only going to get worse in North America imo.

Chauvin was found guilty...but he was individually found responsible for Floyd's death and should be held accountable...but he is not the whole police institution and and all police should not be painted with the same brush.
That's the big problem I have with this whole case.
But as Fox states (and no one accuses them of being left leaning)...most U.S. cops feel Chauvin was guilty https://www.fox23.com/news/local/cha...FR4AFJQ3P6R3U/
But of course on AO he was innocent as a lamb.

Found guilty before the trial by whom? The jury who was selected with the approval of his own defense team? What does this statement even mean?

Two of the witnesses who testified against him where an EMT and a 911 dispatcher. Both professions are notoriously anti cop.

I don't get how your guilty on 2nd, 3rd degree murder and manslaughter for 1 death... Usually there is some distinction between 2nd and 3rd degree, not to mention manslaughter. I would suspect an appeal will be filed asap and he will get a mistrial. There is NO way he could have had an impartial trial in Minneapolis. Saw an article where only 1 of the jurors said they hadn't seen the bystander video before jury selection. Impossible to see a video like that and keep an impartial opinion. I can't believe the Judge didn't sequester the jury so I have no doubt they were watching the news via tv, radio, paper, internet etc... Maxine Waters comments did not help the situation and were grossly improper! Even the Judge said elected officials should respect the Judiciary and keep their noses out.

As for justice? Well those on the street got what they wanted, justice. It might have been vigilante, it might have been judiciary... only time will tell.

Also which are "the dirty parts of Canada?" Does that mean what it sounds like it means?

If this is something I need to explain to you then I’m afraid I won’t have the patience to engage in a conversation with you.

Got to admit, the above is where I am at..video @2:43, the way Chauvin looks at the camera never sat well
with me since first viewing... @4:28, Floyd is out ! Floyd was already handcuffed. Also, those cops could of easily
hog tied him instead of displaying that darkness of the knee/neck thing for the 9mins.

He was found guilty because he is guilty. Even his own Police people didn’t hesitate to throw him under the bus. It’s pretty hard to defend putting all of your weight on a man’s neck for nine minutes and blame his death on something else. It’s a no brainer! How the hell anyone can justify what he did is beyond me.
