Ex-cop, along with his authoritarian pals. Not his first rodeo.

Also one or two refuse to see race was a factor in his killing. One bad cop but several others who could have stopped it but didn't.

With all the cell phones with cameras shooting video nowadays. You would think this sorta of crap would stop.
But NOOOO!
Hope sending the officers to jail for a long time and the city sued of BIG $$$$ wake up the ones who can stop it from happening.

Minneapolis ex-officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck is in custody and faces a murder charge

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/us/mi...day/index.html

The state needs to keep custody of this case, and not hand it over to the feds, as Donny will simply pardon this murderer.

Well, we'll see what happens. Not all the evidence is in. I suspect we're seeing the wheels of justice in motion, though.

However, not everything is about Trump. He's not God.

Meanwhile, from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/geo...9c6fd9338a9930

I've got the gas and the matches, but I'm not burning down my neighborhood until I have all the facts and it is clearly the correct action.

This is a developing story. Contrary to what many believe, we really don't know everything yet.

There is video of George Floyd from when he was taken out of his van until he was taken over to the police vehicle not resisting. Meanwhile video emerges of a man dressed in black with a hood under an open umbrella face covered in a respirator breaking windows in the Auto Zone store Outside agitator?.

MN elected officials are saying there's evidence that extremist groups are behind arsons perpetrated in the Twin Cities during the protests over George Floyd's murder.
