George Floyd murdered by cops

[TIC]

george tested positive for covid 19, i'm trying to hold my laughter. they couldn't let you forget oh & same guy involved that told us eptein killed himself tells us he died of asphyxiation. with third degree murder, they only had to prove that chauvin was reckless. with second degree murder, they now have to prove he intended to kill. more race riots after chauvin walks

I heard all the other cops involved are now under arrest. I didn’t hear the charges. It’s quite common for charges to be upgraded or otherwise adjusted during the process. If all the cops are arrested do the riot stop? Cops are given a lot of leeway by juries it seems. I hope that the public will allow the jury to make a decision based on the evidence they are given.

Did the victim George really have covid? Didn’t hear that yet. I’ll listen to the news for a while in the AM I guess. How will that play into this?

On the something actually relevant note all 4 cops have now been charged and are in custody.

Good. SHould have been done days ago. Cops are public servants, trained to save lives, not knee them out, and definitely not to hem and haw and be a passive onlooker for 8 minutes and 46 seconds while your pal is kneeling into someone's carotid and his nose is hemmhoraging all over the sgtreet and he is pleading and begging. Those other 3 (except for one of them I have read was protesting pretty firmly to the murderer chauvin who told him basically to shut up) so say those other 2, were accessories for not intervening to save that poor man's life.

Sounds like the main cop is now be charged with second degree murder and the others aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder.

I should clarify I heard this in the AM only about the charges no additional info. I’m still trying to limit my news consumption but they keep sucking me back in

I see Att. Gen. Barr on TV today saying a lot of the right things regarding the George Floyd murder and subsequent protests and riots.

Pretty well prepared speech, I must say.

I was disappointed, however, to hear him call out ONLY Antifa by name.

As usual, any criticism from the Administration always omits the other players in the racial crisis being experienced nowadays.

This isn't the time for favoritism or comically saying there's "fine individuals on both sides."




My question however, is this:

Honestly....... what are the chances we would be hearing the same speech today had there NOT been nationwide riots and upheaval to go along with the peaceful protests?

IMO, very slim.

It's not like this movie hasn't been played out before.

Always a lot of talk, followed by very little action and it's rinse and repeat till the next incident.



Now let's see the follow-up to this.

Let's see if the government is truly dedicated to fixing the root cause of the problem.

By having a racist National Security Adviser touting law enforcement as 99.99% good Americans with just a few "bad apples" ruining their image..... does JACK SHIT to address the underlying issues properly.



We'll all be watching.
