They know that, its right there, this isnt something new or earth shattering, or either particularly noteworthy, you recall him from l. A. P. D. , used to patrol on skid row, he talked about people throwing rocks and bottles, they are expressing concern. They are not doing anything, this is not a justification for an assault, for murder. Defenses suggested in their crossexamination that reasonable minds can disagree, where some of the witnesses dont line up exactly, where force began, dont get caught up in that, dont miss the forest for the trees. Consider the testimony as a whole. Officer after officer after officer got on that stand, raised their hand, told you, the chief of police, that this conduct violates the use of force policy, vi
We dont have matt. You probably just saw there that eric nelson, the defense attorney for Derek Chauvin just wrapped up arguments. The judge just said he had some discussions were going to listen to what the judge is saying to the lawyers.

And razor wire. Republicans tearing into democratic congresswoman Maxine Waters accusing her of inflaming the situation after joining a protest in minnesota and saying this. I would like to see the bill in congress passed. But i know that the right wing, the racists are opposed to it, and i dont know what is going to happen . I dont know whether it is firstdegree. You have to stay on the street. We need to get more active, more confrontational. We need to make sure that they know that we mean business. Dana you will get our commentary on all of this in a minute, we will go to the courtroom, there is some additional activity after the judge gave the jury deliberation instructions. There are lots of laws in this coming your honor, and these comments from repeated comments go for a prosecutor told misconduct.
