I so hope he's found not guilty. What did he do wrong? He did what he'd been taught to do the way he'd been taught to do it in the curcumstances in which he was taught to apply it.
The whole "BLM gonna riot" shit is the fault of the FBI who could have stepped in and broken the criminal rings up. The feds and the mayors and governors.
The mayors and governors are guilty of acts of terrorism for telling their police forces to stand down and let them riot. At that point, you're responsible for what they do. We all intuit that.
Literally, this has to be a criminal act on their part and they should be arrested, tried and hung for terrorism and second degree murder. The scale of it makes it a hanging offense.
Their culpability in this is total and beyond dispute.
Wheeler allowed thugs to terrorize citizens and cops both for months on end.
That rises to the level of a crime against humanity. Oh yes it does. You cannot sit by as an executive and let jackbooted thugs terroize and kill your citizens. That's what they did in Rwanda. Those were crimes against humanity. Millions of people don't have to die in order for that same princiople to apply. It's not about the particular scale of the executive's action, although that is important, it's about what they di and what they coudl forsee as a likely consequence of their actions.
Wheeler should be arrested tried and hung and so should Lightfoot and DeBlasio. That's what a justice system everyone takes seriously looks like. That's what a society which is under the rule of law does.
If they riot then it's on the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of MN to protect the city and its citizens from the rioters. If they stand down then they need to be tried for crimes against humanity. You wanted the job and you've got it, so do it.
