Not only does a fast verdict usually indicate a guilty verdict, but especially in this case:

If you had several choices, one of which which might put you and your family in physical danger, and one would just result in a guy you don't know going to prison, which would be the easier option to choose?

And hence: the faster option?

Especially in this case, hesitation about the verdict would indicate a not guilty finding.

I'm sure you're just all stunned by this revelation, so I'll give everyone a few minutes to compose themselves.

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.

Good morning kids. Tuesday and of course the big story is the impending verdict in the trial of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin over his involvement in the death of a black suspect - whose name will not be mentioned by me - who expired while resisting arrest. Despite the initial shock of the knee-on-the-neck video, the facts surrounding the case released only in dribs and drabs as Minneapolis and dozens of other urban areas across the land were torched and sacked in a wave of rioting and violence that was alternately described as justified or completely ignored and covered-up as such, would tend to exonerate Officer Chauvin, and never get to the point of his being charged with manslaughter. 

But that is not what's going on here. The issues and legitimate controversies and criticisms of policing while crucially important are not central to the crux of the biscuit in this discussion. This trial is about several things. First, Officer Chauvin (and now the 26-year female veteran cop in last week's accidental yet wholly understandable shooting incident) are scapegoats. America as founded is in the dock. Forget about the verdict in the trial; Chauvin had to be put on trial since regardless of the actual circumstances of the incident, he committed the heinous "crime" killing a black man while being a white male cop. If you think that that's ridiculous, and it is, get a load of this alarming statistic: 

A nationally commissioned survey asked respondents for an estimation of how many unarmed black men were killed by the police in 2019. Forty-four percent of liberals said it was 1000 or more. In reality, the number was actually no more than 27. 

The survey, commissioned by Skeptic Mag, asked respondents: "If you had to guess, how many unarmed Black men were killed by police in 2019?” Among those identified as "Very Liberal,” a majority (about 53 percent) of them estimated that the number of unarmed blacks killed by police in 2019 was one thousand or over, with about 22 percent putting the number at ten thousand or above.

Almost 39 percent of those who were simply "Liberal” guessed "About 1,000”, with a further 12 percent claiming the number was more like 10,000 or more. Approximately 25 percent of self-declared "Moderates”, nine percent of "Conservatives”, and 13 percent of "Very Conservative” Americans estimated at "about” one thousand.

Those listed "Conservative” or "Very Conservative” guessed closest to the actual number.

The numbers are especially galling given the left’s claims to science, data, and reason. In reality, it appears they are far more prone to wild conspiracy theories than the political right.

The problem here is, these are not "wild conspiracy theories." These are memes and propaganda being drilled into the minds of children by day in schools (or Zoom classes), reinforced by the media on the nightly news and now standard business practice across a wide swathe of corporate America and consumer brands. Lest we forget what they did to Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the aftermath of "hands up don't shoot" Mike Brown. If Josef Goebbels were alive to see this, he'd pop a stiffie so hard he could run the Boston Marathon with it despite the club foot.

Second, Chauvin's trial serves the purpose of abolishing police departments without having to go through any lengthy, messy legislative processes. I mean, you would have to be out of your mind to want to be police officer given not only the inherent danger of the job but the prospect of facing a public execution for just doing your job should you find yourself in a confrontation with a Horst Wessel of color. Lastly, and probably the most insidious aspect of this is to get the minds right of those who remain on the job. In the event of actual legitimate protests occur against, say, lockdowns or stolen elections and the BLaM-tifa black-clad brownshirts be called in for a bit of bovver, you'll look the other way as more Ashli Babbitts get piled up like so much cordwood rather than intercede and risk your pension. Or you'll go door to door to find curfew violators or vaccination refuseniks. Besides, you have to show that you reject your inherent white supremacy, right? After all, you're just following orders. Oh yes, police forces may be "abolished" but there will be policing.

In second guessing this whole horrendous thing, it would actually be to the advantage of the enemy if Derek Chauvin were acquitted. Wouldn't a conviction disprove the meme that the justice system is rigged against colored people of color? Barack Obama was elected (in theory) twice in the hopes that it would close the civil rights era of "struggle" once and for all. I distinctly remember sitting at a dinner with an old liberal friend a month or so before the 2008 election who told me flat out that he was voting for Obama for no other reason than his being black and a black man should be president. How'd that work out for us?
