OK, I told you so yesterday. Yes, remember when several commenters were calling me and others "racist" for warning everybody to not jump to conclusions? That the AUTOPSY had not been released? That the CAUSE OF DEATH was unknown? That we are still missing video from the middle, i.e., what happened between the initial arrest and the officers having Floyd on the ground. I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard the DA from Hennepin County state that there is "other evidence that does not support a criminal charge." OMG. This is exactly why you don't go out screaming MURDER. And exactly why you always wait in cases, especially any case tied to Benjamin Crump.

It is highly unlikely that the officers INTENDED to kill Floyd in the act of subduing him. Intent plays crucially into any criminal charge.

The prosecutor and the U.S. Attorney failed to state the possible evidence. Why not?

I remember one movie critic saying that he could make any movie look great if you let him edit it to 30 seconds.
The opposite is probably true of video.

Yesterday I said I will wait to render an opinion until all the facts are in.
My genius was unappreciated.
BUT just in case any of you are going downtown to do some looting tonight I could use a ROKU smart tv for the shop. Just sayin’.

Bump. You took a brave stand on this. This is quite an interesting development to see the least!

These two primary cops (not the rookies) were known for abuse of power and killing people previously. Luckily they were caught on camera this time. At least they will never serve as cops again at a minimum. Hope they and their families are being protected from mob violence.

Right. The police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong. Nobody saw this coming. Nobody at all.

I think compressing a man’s neck for two and a half minutes after he becomes unresponsive is by definition excessive force and depraved indifference to life.
Derek Chauvin was a police officer for nearly 20 years. He has had first responder training. He has seen people lose consciousness and die before.
I do not think he intended to kill Floyd. But it seems impossible that he did not realize that Floyd had become unconscious and that he had the duty to render assistance.

WHAT? You mean I am supposed to consider more information than a few seconds of carefully chosen video (by the fake media) to start race riots and damage Trumps re-election? Come on, thats crazy talk. The cops are guilty. I read it right here at FreeRepublic.

It’s because the Governor is a DFL Socialist and the mayor is a Democrat. It would not surprise me if they ordered a hit on a black man just to rile up African-Americans before the 2020 election.
