I hear Minneapolis is looking for some good police officers. Anyone here need a job?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Dang you! You beat me to it! Yes, brace ourselves for sure.
This verdict came back fast. I'm thinking guilty. I really think that at least the manslaughter charge warrants it.
We'll see.

If this man doesn't get jail time, all hell is going to break loose.

Thank goodness for small favors.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.
The god idea is popular with desperate people.

I’ve never seen a verdict form that used those terms, but they might be applicable in this case.
he/him
When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig’d to call for the help of the Civil Power, ’tis a Sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.

Re: Will this Kind of Outrage Never Stop?
I know there are people freaking out over this, but my biggest takeaway is that a jury weighed the evidenced and found the accused guilty. Our judicial system, whatever one thinks of it, is pretty remarkable sometimes. Personally I believe he was appropriately charged and rightfully found guilty when viewed not in context of the media coverage, but from the trial - if you paid attention to it. I’m glad to see that a person who in the past would’ve had a good chance at walking because he’s a LEO and the victim who was objectively not awesome from a legal perspective, both received justice. I think my only real add-on would be that, imho, real justice would’ve come in the form of our society shifting our massive funding of a military industrial complex to a mental and physical healthcare system that helps instead of criminalizes. We’re way too aggressive and adversarial with one another, systemically. I know the world has a lot of issues, but I’m not sure we should be expending treasury dollars on everyone else when we’re decaying from within. An anecdote:
My neighbor has a daughter who’s been in and out of jail due to drug addiction and her related actions. She even lost her children to the state. I was talking to the neighbor and she mentioned that her daughter went to a treatment program ran by the Other Side Academy here in SLC. There she finally was diagnosed by a psychiatrist, treated, made it through the program, and stabilized enough to become a staff member. For the first time in her life her brain is balanced out, and she has a meaningful existence. Instead of jail, crime, and an early death she actually has a shot to live a life free from the bonds of addiction and mental illness.
I’d like to see more of that, and less of us dropping ordinance on some cave dwellers at literally millions per mission. The cost of warfare is a sin so egregious and onerous that it turns my stomach when I see hundreds of Americans walking around like zombies in my own city. There has to be a middle ground between what we’ve been doing and ‘free everything’. Surely we can figure this out.

I happen to have a client in downtown Minneapolis, and perhaps 20 minutes before it hit the news, I got an automated phone call notifying me that the jury had reached its verdict and that I should get out of the city immediately.
I was just notified that we can go back to work tomorrow, so apparently there won't be riots.
