That dude should sue. He didn’t have anything to do with Floyd’s death.

I agree. Even the one who did really did not do it on purpose. He was just poorly trained.

George Floyd killed himself after swallowing the fentanyl he was selling. 3ng will kill you. He had 11ng plus several other drugs in his system plus a bad heart.

I hope those police officers will make millions from the corrupt people who put them in jail.

Even Floyds relatives did not like him. They did not collect his property from his place. They took the money they received from from the taxpayers and ran.

Trump should have pardoned him and the other LEOs in January.

none of them did...this was a political imprisonment. That filth had a drug induced heart attack and died while resisting arrest. All on him.

He couldn't - these were "crimes" against the fake state laws of the Commies in Minnesota.

It would be better if all the Minnesota scum, including the "judge", prosecutor and the jury, were taken out back, beaten, then strung up.

The Commies in the State of Minnesota should burn.
I grew up there, and it was a great place to be a kid. It’s just the stupid liberals have had power in the government too long, and proven once again...Socialism fails wherever it is tried.
Clean out about 500 moonbats from St. Paul, & it might be a decent place, again.

Is not the rookie cop who had only been on the job a few weeks?
I really felt bad for him.
Even more so than the other cops.
He got screwed.

Thao’s civil rights were violated.

He should sue the prosecution and the state in federal court.

Malicious prosecution is still going on.

Floyd died of a drug overdose.

Actually Derek Chauvin did the restraint just like the police manual stated.

The manual that was NOT allowed as evidence.

Thee manual that was ignored by the police chief when he lied saying that Chauvin was not trained to do that.

A long (1hr 45 minutes) but excellent (and unbelievable) documentary about the Floyd arrest, riots and trial.

One of the amazing parts to me was how the politicians jumped on the suffocation thing so quick. Then the coroner does his study and says something like “He didn't suffocate. What do I do now?”

Go to 51:13 of that documentary for the exact comments. I was pretty close with my recollection.

George Floyd died from fentanyl overdose. Nothing wrong with the training. These
Minneapolis Officers were railroaded.

A victim of the woke/Marxist mind virus.

The leftist who lied and intimidated jury members have much to answer for.

Floyd had it coming IMHO. It’s too bad he dragged a policeman into his miserable life of drugs.

Whoa, Don't you think that's a bit over the top? Out state Minnesota has not become a leftist Democrat leaning holdout. Four cities, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, and Duluth are the Democrat strongholds. This is mostly due to all the freebees these people receive from the current state government. (For starters, just look into all the fraud being exposed here recently.)

Their voting numbers make it impossible for the rest of the state to enact common sense, conservative values and remove the left tards from political office. But there are continued efforts to do so. As Winston Churchill said, "Never Give Up."
