MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested days after George Floyd’s fatal arrest that sparked protests and outcry across the city and nation.
On Friday, John Harrington, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, announced that Chauvin has been taken into custody in connection with the May 25 death.
Chauvin is the former officer in the video seen around the world with his knee on Floyd’s neck. He’d been with Minneapolis police for 19 years.
It was not immediately clear what the expected charges Chauvin could face are.
You should come join us on the Q threads.
If you watch the video, Floyd collapses near the rear of the vehicle he was being led to. I can't make out if someone caused him to fall, or he tripped over the curb, or if he collapsed due to some medical reason. It's kinda strange and unusual from the one video I have seen that shows it - maybe there are other videos that show the fall and what caused it in greater detail?
Freeman said a criminal complaint will be released later, but “I didn’t want to wait any longer to share the news that he’s in custody and charged with murder.”
This was done because it appears very likely this cop killed a guy.
you have more than you know. God Bless America. Onward & upward :)
Off. Chauvin is an animal. Hope he rots.
When are police departments going to weed out corrupt criminals with a badge & gun?
I strongly support LEOs. This was murder.
That’s not accurate. Melvin Carter is the mayor of Saint Paul... Jacob Frey is Minneapolis and he is a white soyboy.
and guess what.... NOTHING EVER HAPPENS as a result. Name the last time a piece of legislation was passed based on a mass shooting.
Your supposed conspiracy theory that “someone” is engineering mass shootings as a way to change gun laws is quite frankly, stupid.
“How much did the Illuminati pay you to say that?”
Nothing. And Soros isn’t paying me anything either.
And that is my problem with him. According to the “research” I read on the internet virtually everyone is getting paid by Soros to do something except me. If any of you Sorosbots are willing to put in a good word for me tell him I am more than willing to take his money.
I ALSO believe the recent incident with the white woman and her dog in the park on her phone ranting about a black man assaulting her WAS STAGED AS A PRELUDE TO THIS 'KNEE' EVENT.
We've SEEN what the Deep State can do with a MASSIVE lie about "Trump-Russia collusion". We've SEEN what a VAST network of Deep State can do with the MASSIVE lie about Covid-19!!! Where was CNN's CONCERN for the protesters violating safe distances during the Minneapolis protests/rioting? Apparently, Covid-19 does NOT affect those who are protesting or rioting!!!
Wake up, FReepers. WAKE UP!!!!
Hypnotized cops? There sure seemed devoid of souls and devoid of WORDS during the incident. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS ENTIRE THING, especially given the fact the DemonRats needed to get blacks BACK ON THEIR PLANTATION after Biden's horrific "you ain't black" remark!
WAKE UP, FREEPERS. There are far too many of you here who jump right on board with CNN's narrative and that itself is chilling.
BTW, watch the video AGAIN of that woman in the park and YOU tell ME your GUT doesn't tell YOU that this entire thing is STAGED as a PsyOps prelude to Minneapolis!
yeah right,,,,
False flags are part of the left’s MO, so none of this would surprise me.
Does that make the knee to the neck an OK thing? Are the chances pretty strong Floyd would be alive today If he wasn’t held down like that?
Trying to come up with anything to make this “Ok” aside from evidence that he was continuing to resist arrest is the sign that you might want to consider that your point of view might be open to adjustment.
Oh? What do you think was the cause of death? Other than the knee on his carotid artery for 10+ mins?
Thanks I made the correction.
