white judge says Waters' comment could lead to Chauvin trial being overturned
A whiff of racism in judge's comment, isn't it?
The judge in the Derek Chauvin murder trial said Monday that Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters' plea for protesters to "get more confrontational" could lead to the case eventually being overturned.
Waters, of California, appeared at a rally Saturday in Minnesota and was asked what demonstrators should do if Chauvin ― the ex-Minneapolis cop accused of pressing his knee against the neck of George Floyd ― was acquitted of murder.
"We've got to stay on the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational", Waters replied, as seen in the clip above. "We've got to be sure that they know we mean business".
Republicans, including Reps. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), accused Waters of inciting violence. Chauvin's defense lawyer, Eric Nelson, unsuccessfully asked for a mistrial over the comments. But in denying that request, the judge suggested that Waters may have handed the defense an appeal issue if Chauvin is convicted.
"Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned", Judge Peter Cahill told Nelson after jurors had left the courtroom to begin deliberating.
