GOP gubernatorial candidate in Virginia fumes over Derek Chauvin conviction: It 'makes me sick'

In footage posted by American Bridge, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Amanda Chase attacked the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial that saw the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder and manslaughter for the death of George Floyd.

"Friends, today's verdict makes me sick," said Chase. "I am so concerned about our law enforcement quitting, and you should be too."

But police broadly agreed with the verdict. Chauvin's former chief and fellow officers testified against him, and even the president of the nation's largest police union stated the conviction was justified.

should never have been issued a badge in the first place. I think it would be interesting to see if there are any trends in the future.

We are all expecting the "blue flu" and a few criminals to be let go to scare people. Hopefully no one will fall for it.

If the only reason the pigs sign on is in order to murder black people and get away with it, who needs them?
