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. …

Walz was in on the scam just like Pelosi on J6. The Democrats have to keep the tribe close.

George Floyd was not a very nice guy. He did not give to charity, did not mentor teens or coach any sports, was not a volunteer fireman, or any other first responder. He was a drug addict, a thug who pointed a gun at a pregnant women’s abdomen, and had several charges against him in the past. He resisted arrest and his drug infused heart gave out, plain and simple. This is what BLM considers a model citizen to be. All of the cops should be set free, reinstated if they choose, and given back pay. IMHO.

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

And was stabbed 22 times while incarcerated, or maybe that was one of the other officers. That was the real reason they were incarcerated. Death by prison inmate.

Chauvin should be released and paid heavily for false imprisonment.

If you have high blood pressure it’s best not to read “They’re Lying” by Liz Collin. It’s about what REALLY happened around the Saint George debacle. Chauvin and all the others need to be given freedom, new identity and giant stacks of DNC money. Walz, Ellison and a few others need to be turning big rocks into little rocks for the rest of their lives.

Didn’t Floyd test positive for Covid? I think it was the CDC who directed that if you have Covid when you die, the cause of death should be ruled as being due to Covid. If Floyd died from Covid, why was anyone sent to jail?

“...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”
With all the deserved outrage over these prosecutions, can we stop to consider how ridiculous it is to give prosecutors over-charging tools like these in the first place?

Another experiment is to cut off your own air by choking yourself even 1/2, a d trying to talk normally- it can’t be done, yet floyd talked co Stanly, normally, the whole time

He was co planning about not being able to breath at the very beginning of his arrest, before cops even had him in handcuffs or had any contact with him other than verbally.

Floyd killed himself- a knee on the back of him (note, the cops knees never went near the back of th3 neck as proved by the video). Had Floyd’s air been cut off to the point of causing g death if it continued, he would not have been able to speak in a normal voice-

Cricket Chauvin was falsely co victed of a crime he didn’t commit, and not just convicted of 1 crime he didn’t do, but several thT he didn’t do- all because of racism by liberals and the racism of the black community that demanded that an innocent man, Derrick, be charged for a crime hewas innocent of

These “poor guys” were the ones enforcing covid lockdowns and walking the streets shooting citizens with paintball guns to force them back into their homes. They are thugs and deserved every single second in prison.

He not only had covid (though I think he was over it by then), but he had 2 different serious heart problems, and was loaded with drugs- he was a walking corpse basically. He had 4 times the amount of fent8nal co cidered deadly. He was infact dying when the cops showed up.

Even the coroner said that if he had not been arrested, he would have been dead by that afternoon from the drugs and heart condition.

None of that mattered thoughto the racist jurors and prosecution. They had their gui,ty verdict before the trial even started and nothing, not facts or eyewitnesses or video evidence would derail them from falsely charging Chauvin.

That was his fourth day on the job. Only did what he was told to do. The guy’s life is ruined thanks to the anti-cop politicians in Minnesota, including A-Walz.
