Cops are already leaving the profession in droves. Many won’t respond to calls involving drugs, blacks, or civil violence of any kind. Medical issues are the worst to be involved with and present the highest risk to the cop. You can only serve and protect if the public protects you in return.

“Which is why Derek Chauvin administered a form of euthanasia, not murder.”

BS. He administered nothing that killed Floyd. Nothing.

Good thing Florida just passed their anti-riot law.

Lots more of this situation to unfold over time.

At the intersection where Floyd was pinned down, a crowd chanted,
"One down, three to go!" - a reference to the three other fired
Minneapolis officers facing trial in August on charges of aiding
and abetting murder in Floyd's death.

****

Lots more news to come in the future as this event unfolds over time.

Re: "holding his knee on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes"

7 minutes and 46 seconds, actually.

Also, the autopsy found no injuries or bruising to Chauvin's mouth, tongue, throat, trachea, neck, or back.

Floyd's death certificate states that cardiopulmonary arrest was the cause of death.

The CDC explicitly states that cardiopulmonary arrest cannot be a cause of death unless it is preceded by a clear sequence of medically identifiable events.

The coroner's scientific solution to that problem was to claim that George Floyd went into cardiopulmonary arrest because his "body just couldn't take it anymore."

Did I forget to mention that Floyd swallowed a fatal dose of fentanyl just moments before he was arrested?

You did forget to mention one of the cops told Chauvin that his handcuffed prisoner had no pulse and that Chauvin refused to render aid.

I understand your sentiment......

.....now the story is ( according to her mother) ‘she dropped her knife before the policeman shot her’

Millennials seeking a reason for being, seeking meaning in their “true esteem”-less, “group project saved my grade”, get blue ribbons for participating and Godless lives.

Aren’t many of these A holes, the same kind of A holes that would join ISIS?

Like most everything in this old world, things change either for the best or worst. LE used to be known as Peace Officers focused on protecting and serving where most everyone knew each other. As communism started steadily creeping in, many in LE started treating the general public as criminals.

Lost count a long time ago of the many times I de-escalated a simple traffic stop. Noticed this behavior mostly in the big cities with suburbs running a close second followed by rural.

It simply boils down to attitude and respect for those that truly desire to serve and protect.

As stated up-thread, the US was designed for a moral and upright people whereas any other is doomed to fail with guaranteed misery for most all.

All so true. I deplore the state of government today because I deplore the people. My sister is a cop, a CSI. Her work exposes her to the most horrific murders along the Mexico border. How she stays sane is a mystery to me.

Yeah. If I’m a cop why would I try to arrest a black assailant now?

Derek Chauvin is guilty of making all police officers (especially White police officers) look like violent, racist murderers. Law enforcement officers are going to have hell of time doing their jobs. Thanks Derek.
