I agree with Rick Sklader that the overwhelming majority of the capitalist class and their representatives definitely wants Chauvin convicted. All you have to do is watch CNN every night to see that. Their problems are several fold:
First is the possibility that some committed racist has disguised him or herself as a fair and open-minded person and gotten themself or themselves on the jury. In that case, there will be a hung jury. Second is the overall mythology that has been build up in the country about the majority of cops being hard working, dedicated public servants who are protecting us from anarchy. The prosecution cannot possibly break that down so they are treading a careful line in the trial, trying to prove these particular defendants guilty without explaining the extreme importance of this trial overall. One final point: I strongly suspect that at least some of the jurors when they go home in the evening watch the news even though they are told not to. That makes holding public protests around the country all the more important. The left is really falling down on the job here.
