Would it be tasteless to sell BLTs and donate the proceeds to BLM?
I'm asking for my imaginary friend.

Yeah, thanks to all these eejits standing almost on top of each other, we'll see a lot of people not being able to breathe in about 14 days.
Well done!
That was sarcasm by the way
I agree with your sentiment.
Not disagreeing.
I'm just adding to the conversation here.
Context: Australia
While I agree with the hypocrisy of allowing thousands to protest but not allowing large groups of people to go to a funeral, etc, etc,
I am also of the belief that the danger is so low, here in Australia, that it won't be a problem.
Personally, I think it was selfish to defy the law and protest,
But, on the flip side, it may force the recalcitrant premiers, in certain states, to open up the country if no health crisis develops, as a result of this selfishness.

With all the publicity over this case, and the push for higher charges, I was wondering:
1) Do cases for 2nd degree murder only allow for 2nd, or also include lesser (3rd degree)?
2) If so, is it possible for the defence to request the lesser option to be waived (all or nothing on 2nd degree)?
3) What would happen should the defence go down this route (either there is no option to be found guilty on lesser, included charges, or the option for that to be an option is waived) and through "over charging", a not guilty verdict is returned?
While unlikely, this is a possibility - higher publicity crimes tend to attract "higher charges" to appease the "mob"...
Similarly, should 1, 2, or even all 3 other officers be found "not guilty" (through "over charging"), whether or not Mr Chauvin is found guilty, what would be likely to happen?
The reason for asking is: Are the protesters after justice, or is it retribution they seek?

That is what I was thinking.
In the past, things like this have happened.
Or was that on "Perry Mason"?

It seems like a massive ball of everything, including dissatisfaction with existence itself. I do agree that the the publicity on this could be a big problem precisely because a miscarriage of justice due to mob influence could - in theory - cause enough problems that their sentences get drastically reduced which would in turn inflame the mob even more.
Here is a novel idea:
Justice is blind.
