Prosecutors warn there is 'evidence that does not support criminal charge' in case of four cops accused of killing George Floyd

Mike Freeman, county attorney for Hennepin County, condemned the actions of white cop Derek Chauvin as 'horrific and terrible' But he added there was 'other evidence that does not support a criminal charge' Prosecutors must decide if the cop used force deemed 'excessive' when he knelt on George Floyd's neck for eight minutes until he passed out and later died Freeman warned the investigation 'can't be rushed' He voiced fears of a repeat of the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore in 2015 where all charges were dropped against cops involved in the black man's death Outrage is building as still no arrests have been made over Floyd's death with protests entering their third day in Minneapolis

You should be banned from FR. The cop has been charged with both Murder 3 and manslaughter.

The oriental cop is just as guilty as the Klan cop.
Was someone saying something about racists?

The video shows the perp's OTHER foot swinging free: which proves there was no weight on it.

And by perp I mean "Mr.Kneecap, ex-police officer with ten excessive force complaints against him."

He has just been arrested and charged with Murder 3 and manslaughter.

Once unleashed, mob justice is hard to contain.

I’m not really tracking this case. I’m giving evidence of mob mentality and lousy jurisprudence

Then shut the living f*ck up.

The perp is on video with his knee on the victim's neck for nine minutes. Uncut video, no camera tricks.

Including 2 1/2 minutes past the point where the victim empties his bowel and bladder (probable point of death; even people in surgery don't crap themselves when they pass out).

And the paramedics (no axe to grind) said they were called before that "for a man with a mouth wound" and instead found the victim unresponsive and without a pulse. And Mr. Kneecap has been charged with Murder 3 and Manslaughter.

A nine-minute long uncut video from six feet away with no breaks or camera tricks, where the perp's knee is on the victim's neck the whole time, and where the knee stays on the victim's neck for 2 1/2 minutes after he involuntarily voids his bowels, isn't enough?

BTW Mr. Kneecap had ten prior excessive force complaints, which the County Attorney never prosecuted Her name? Amy Klobuchar, current US Senator from MN and until now VP hopeful under Biden.

Mr. Kneecap has been arrested for Murder 3 and manslaughter.

It's amazing how many posters there are who make up increasingly bizarre excuses for government agents, belying the name "FREE Republic."

The guy's "crime" was being accused of passing a counterfeit $20...they could have let him drive away and arrested him calmly any old time, instead of dragging him out of his car, calling that "resistance" and using that as an excuse for deadly force after he was lying down in the street with his hands cuffed behind him.

I saw that. I guess the AUTOPSY hasn’t been done yet, though, or we would be hearing about it.

Sooo, I am still withholding judgement on the poor cop.

“You should be banned from FR.”

That is an interesting comment.

Can you cite one of my posts that justifies your seeking the free speech death penalty.

Your post 41 is quite sufficient.
Free Republic is for the Constitution and the rights it secures, including the right to life.
Kneeling on a handcuffed man’s neck until he dies, violates that right.
The guy you were defending, just got arrested for murder.
Making threadbare see through excuses in a lame attempt to support a jackbooted thug, therefore goes against the values of the site.

The paramedics already said in public that they were called to respond to a man with a mouth injury, but when they arrived, the victim was unresponsive and without a pulse.
That’s before he was in the ambulance, right?

Sorry honey, but Mr. Kneecap now has got a prior engagement, and might be unavailable for 12 years or so.

You'll have to make other date plans for tonight.

If you read my entire post, you can see I allow for that.

What I am opposed to is mob jurisprudence and mob justice.

I am not racist. I said “oriental” because I could not discern if he was Chinese, Filipino, or whatever.

I have grandchildren with Chinese blood.

The “poor cop” will plead down to Manslaughter, get five to seven, be out early for “ good behavior”.

Plus he’ll retain full pension.

Chauvin is a psychopath.

For some reason, they are attracted to police work and are not weeded out soon enough.

I apologize if I offended you. I am from a very much older generation, when this was not considered an insult. We referred to Charlie Chan as the "oriental detective". I guess Agatha Christie should have titled her famous book, "Murder on the Asian Extraction Express." In future I shall refer to that particular donut cop as the "fat Asian-American" waste of skin who stood by while his buddy murdered an innocent man. 🤪😱🧁
