Reading jury selection transcripts. White, likely conservative jurors with like 7 cops in their family always claim they can be objective and are seated on the jury.

Liberal and left jurors frequently get deeply introspective and self-evaluate while being questioned and get kicked off the jury.

Once again, if the person with 7 cop relatives can be objective, then so can you. Don’t sell yourself short.

@D_J_Nathanson Sounds about right. The one time I got called in for jury duty, I expressed concern that cops smoking drugs with criminals sounded like entrapment for drug crimes, and that was the end of my jury duty experience.

@LouisIngenthron You are a very objective person. You are able to take the judge's instructions and apply the law as given to you no matter your personal opinions.
