what kind of time is he gonna get?
That’s gonna be a whole other thing. This is at least a step in the right direction.
Like B Sox said, that's a completely different story that'll take a few weeks but here's a CNN breakdown from the George Floyd thread:

Was reading a cnn breakdown. UP to something like 65-75 years total. But the Minnesota average on these types of murders is 12.5 years, with 4.5 on the lesser charge

so 75 max, but try more like 29.5 years if they go with the average. But he could go well below above that average.

below average, it’s 15 years minimum.
30 years looking at average numbers from other cases
65-75 max.

The bar is set so low... the fact that we had to sit here and worry about this. I don't feel happy I'm relieved that some nonsense didn't happen.

Crazy. I just posted in the George Floyd thread that I felt a sense of relief.
Had a weight on me before they read the verdict expecting him to get off.
Felt like I could breathe when they said guilty. It's exhausting being black in America.
 
Feel mostly just relief man. Just so many times where we've seen no accountability no matter what had been there with evidence. I'm just thankful that lady ended up recording everything, cause otherwise sadly, I don't know if this verdict comes down this way. Because how many times have situations gone down where there was no video and nothing but a dead black body and whatever the police decide to say happened that justifies them killing us.

IF this had gone the other way, this country would have burned so for that alone I'm thankful. But this is only the beginning there's no justice that's been achieved; just finally some damn accountability.
 
I honestly wasn't prepared for them to convict him, my faith in this country is that thin.

I felt the exact same way. It speaks volumes that we literally saw this man get murdered on camera with dozens of bystanders and we still have to wait with bated breath about the outcome of the trial.

Conservatives couldn't even hide their racism.

"The force on his neck couldn't have killed him!"

"He was doing drugs all day, that's what killed him!" FOH

If I kneel on my 80-year-old mother-in-law's neck for 9 minutes, people aren't going to say "well she was old, had hide blood pressure and a bad hip". They would say, you kneeled on her neck and you killed her. George Floyd was alive and kicking before his interaction with the police and was dead afterwards and it was caught on video! It's as cut and dry as it gets!
 
But this is only the beginning there's no justice that's been achieved

This needs to be constantly repeated

While I'm also relieved at this verdict one make up call doesn't account for the million atrocities these thugs have committed over history and with a system in place that will continue to benefit them more times than not. We have a ways to go
 
"We did it together. I'm deeply grateful for the team we put together. Most of these folks would tell you it's a bad idea to put together a team of all Michael Jordans. No one would want to pass the ball! This team, that was their true strength. Sharing the load. Passing the ball. Understanding that all of us together are smarter than any one of us alone" - Minnesota Attorney General

Bro, I almost wish I hadn't looked at that link of posts from conservative twitter. That **** is poison.
 
And just like that Officer Jim continues to remain on paid leave in protected custody
