Reverend Al Sharpton reacted to Derek Chauvin’s sentence of 22 and a half years in prison for the murder of George Floyd, saying the judge’s order sends “an incomplete message” of accountability.

But he did give accountability…
Without the massive protests led by BLM, Chauvin wouldn’t even have been charged.
@Puggles McWardog so then you mean insurrection and not a tourist walk through?
@Puggles McWardog
Lmmfaoooooo
You’re all over the place trolling princess Pavlovs
@Redjam Redjam He’ll delete his comment soon.
Thsts accurate too ,most he would have gotten was paid on leave
If it wasn’t for election year BLM wouldn’t have got the recognition.
It would have just been another day in the street.
Nothing has changed.
I am pleased but I wanted 30 years.
25 to life would have been more appealing
@vinmanfonzo vinman 25 to life was never a possible punishment for the charges Chauvin was charged with and convicted of.
@Doctor Poopypantz I didn’t think he would have gotten that sentence anyway
If you or I had done what that guy did, we’d be getting a lot more than 22.5 years.
All you have to do is brush by a cop and that’s assault on an officer. They’ll give you 7-10 years easily. Go figure!
🤔 Should’ve gotten the max.
Good riddance to ALL THE RUBBISH. Clean sweep is coming.
Should have got 45 years.
I hope dirty cops get the message, we’re watching you..
@Marc F. Nielssen recording does, ask Chauvin.
@James Burch
Good. Now you found the correct word.
@Marc F. Nielssen way to save yourself from a dumb comment bro
@James Burch
Your editing is appreciated 🤣
@jj welsh75 yes kudos for her ,I still think that cop got off with a light sentence seeing all the riots he caused and plain as day killed a man
That man seems to be everywhere in Black America. Saw him leading prayer earlier.
He got off light.
Holy cow! That’s way more than I thought he’d get.
It’s nothing. It should be 30.
I THINK THE JUDGE IS LEAVING ROOM FOR THE FEDERAL CASE—-AND THATS GOOD
well we gotta protest every time now…
Definitely its not like you have anything better to do.
LET THE LOOTING COMMENCE
Had this been the other way around George would’ve gotten life without the possibility of parole. Or even worse; a death sentence! Go figure..
Yeah no doubt about it
💩
Thank god that young girl had the insight to video it or he would be a free man.
SHARLTON has a reaction to everything – the fraud that he is
btw just think it would be nice if at least once the talk of the rise in gun violence, would stop leaving out it’s start beginning with cops repeatedly shooting unarmed black men in the back, thanks!!
Floyd died of a drug overdose.
It was an upward departure from the typical sentence given for 2nd degree murder without aggravating factors, it was directly in line with sentences given in the past 10 years in the state for 2nd degree murder with aggravating factors. It was a reasoned legal analysis.
Perfectly fair.
