    There is some belief that this "Pardon Derek Chauvin" campaign by Daily Wire was part of what got Jeremy Boreing fired.

    I think the firing was more about all the shit that occurred before that, plus the company losing money, but I can also see that this whole campaign also might have contributed to Boreing's downfall, especially given how he attacked Jason Whitlock on X when Whitlock objected to this campaign.

    Chauvin was likely rightfully convicted. He was NOT convicted for anything related to Floyd's race, and I don't believe Chauvin did what he did because Floyd was black. I believe Chauvin was just an abusive cop, and he was in trouble for something similar in 2017.

    I do think the state murder charges were excessive, but Trump has no power over those, and his state sentence, which is nearly identical, runs concurrent to his federal sentence.

    Federally, he was convicted of using excessive force, which it appears he did.

    Regadless, Trump pardoning Chauvin would be a horrible look, would not accomplish getting him out of prison (he'd simply be moved to Minnesota), and the GOP would lose a lot of the gains they made with black voters in 2024.

    Big mistake all around.

    This whole thing was probably a Jeremy Boreing clickbait idea.

    That first episode was pure trash and Daily Wire must be in deep trouble. His recounting of his first arrest in Texas is so nonsensical. Arrested with less than a gram of coke and then launches into how this isn't some youthful indiscretion, he was selling it. That he was a felony drug dealer. Like anyone who was going out in their 20s and liked to party bought a teener for themselves. That isn't being up all night. Just 6 hours while you're out and for personal use. That is 1.75 grams. Less than a gram and he is a drug dealer? That was about $60 worth of drugs at most. Probably $30 in Texas where it is so cheap. Pure gibberish. So clueless and then launched into a long spiel about US policy that had nothing to do with this case. I don't love Shapiro but I expect better out of him than that crap.

    1.75g in 6 hours? I think that would even be a lot for me on my best day. IIRC that's half an 8-ball which I think would keep 3-4 people happy for a full night. Lucky you never had a heart attack (me too!).

    Druff is entirely correct about Chauvin. It's a loser of an issue for Trump to get involved with. Not sure what the guy's sentence is but 10-15 years would seem fair. If you had an R gov. in MN and they both pardoned him there would be chaos in the streets so this person has to suffer or else we all do.

    Well coke varies and I live in Ohio. Sometimes I’d have some left over. Never less than a gram though in a night. Plus I was in my twenties and you were pushing 50. Either way, less than a gram being a drug dealer is nonsense

    I’m generally pro-police, and anyone calling them racist misses the unfortunate fact that some races commit more crime than others.

    It should also be noted that black/Hispanic cops do NOT have a lower rate of brutality allegations than white cops, even involving encounters with their own race.

    However, there are abusive, bad apple cops out there, and not enough is done to relieve them of duty. Derek Chauvin was one of them.

    He was not a good man, nor wrongly convicted. He’s not the one conservatives should be fighting to free.

    Druff- You went purple here.

    I disagree with this. Why- All of the physical tactics, maneuvers and holds Chauvin did and used were within the curriculum taught at his police academy. This whole situation just happened to be video taped showing a white cop holding down a black man and saying "I cant breath" that tugged on the liberal hearts across America. Just happened to be a black suspect, white cop and someone with a cell phone camera.AS expected, Floyd's long and extensive criminal record was ignored, because he is a professional victim and repressed. If it was never filmed, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    Autopsy report showed that Floyd died of an overdose on fentanyl. There was no damage to his trachea area or any bruising on his neck.

    Key aspects of George Floyd's criminal record-

    Early arrests (1997-2005): Floyd was arrested multiple times for offenses such as drug possession, theft, and trespassing.

    Aggravated robbery conviction (2009): He was sentenced to five years in prison for an aggravated robbery charge stemming from an incident in 2007 where he and others allegedly impersonated utility workers to rob a woman.

    Other incidents:

    He was once arrested for trespassing while in his own neighborhood.

    In 2004, he was convicted of drug possession based on the testimony of a police officer later investigated for falsifying evidence, which led to a posthumous pardon request for that specific conviction.

    He had over 20 police encounters in his life.
