A couple of things. First, I'm skeptical that he did anything wrong to justify being arrested. Second, I think the bail was excessive. Third, according to the article, Lane is 37 years old, and he's a rookie. Generally, your rookie cops start at a much much younger age. So, I'm speculating here that it's not easy to get people to apply for the Minneapolis Police Department. And it goes without saying, it's going to get a lot tougher, even if the city council does not go through with firing all the officers on the force.

750k in a couple days?

IMO it may have been funded, but not by a crowd.

Smells more like some BIG money came in from somewhere

What could be worth that much money to someone or some group???

Pass the Reynolds wrap please

If I remember correctly, there was also a report a few days ago that said this guy was hired despite having a criminal record.

No question about it -- big-city police departments must be having a really hard time getting even minimally qualified people to work for them.

His bail was ludicrous.

He’s no flight risk at all and was hardly involved. Rookie cop on his 4th day just going with the flow.

Is nothing more then a political prisoner and he just did an end run around an outrageous injustice...his arrest and absurdly high bail.

All perpetrated by the same preening filth who say no one should ever be held for cash bail.

To Recapitulate why this is happening
THE POLICY WAS TO ENCOURAGE RESISTANCE TO ARREST

The democrat controlled media deliberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period.
If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
