One of the former Minneapolis police officers who was convicted in connection to the death of George Floyd, whose passing prompted the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, has been released from custody.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Thomas Lane was released from prison on Tuesday.

In May 2022, 41-year-old Lane entered a guilty plea to state charges of second-degree manslaughter of aiding and abetting. Nevertheless, prosecutors agreed to dismiss the charges against him for aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder as part of a plea agreement.

For the state charges, he received a three-year prison sentence. …

Floyd was not murdered, he killed himself.

What did the autopsy report say? Four times the LD50 of Fentanyl, I think.

His only physical injuries were skin scrapes that come with being moved around on the sidewalk.

4 prosecutors came forward revealing pressure from the top to charge Derek Chauvin’s fellow officers, after the FBI met with the medical examiner.

The case was then ordered by the governor to be handled by radical AG Keith Ellison.

That governor’s name?

Tim Walz (ie. Elmer Fudd)

What happened to these cops is a true travesty.

It was all a sham done for a druggie that killed himself.

It chosen, organized and amplified for a textbook nationwide leftist red guard political movement. The FBI and deep-state were fully on board.

It’s likely to get worse, before it gets better.

Anyone here ever wrestle in High school? I did and got a knee, elbow on the back on my neck many times. Not once do I ever remembering choking from it. What the communists have done is convince the stupid that putting pressure on the back of the neck is the same as putting it on the front which is utter BS.

Regarding the Chauvin issue, President Trump has Harris, Walz, and Biden in a tight spot. He should demand that Governor Walz pardon Chauvin on the state charges and push the Harris-Biden administration to do the same for the federal charges. This would be a monumental political move.

If Chauvin isn’t pardoned, Trump wins politically; if he is, Chauvin could join Trump on the campaign trail. Either way, it’s a strategic win for Trump.

Above is a documentary (1:42:00 long) that is really good. Produced by a former mainstream newscaster that got fed up with the biased reporting around Floyd.

It was unbelievable how information was withheld in court, the Governor (Walz) and the mayor lied on the news. The chief of police lied ON THE STAND! Witnesses lied.

The verdict was pronounced before the cops ever got to a trial.

Afterwards, the number of cops in Minneapolis went from something like 960 down to 540.
