Justice prevails.
It's upsetting, though, that it wasn't a foregone conclusion that it would.

I do think there will be a backlash from some of law enforcement. Not sure yet what form it will take. The problem is that there's definitely an arrogance and entitlement there that we saw first-hand with the now-convicted Chauvin. They don't seem to want to accept any accountability, which is a definite problem. Chauvin is just one guy, but he represents a much, much larger problem, which hasn't been dealt with at all. (Look at what's happened to the George Floyd Bill...)

I doubt many will, the results of his trial were what was expected from most. The only question was which charges they were going to find him guilty of and the small possibility of a hung jury. This verdict didn't surprise anyone.
I think the real suspense was the waiting and wondering what would happen if they did somehow come back not guilty or without a consensus.
