Mike Freeman, county attorney for Hennepin County, condemned the actions of white cop Derek Chauvin as 'horrific and terrible' But he added there was 'other evidence that does not support a criminal charge' Prosecutors must decide if the cop used force deemed 'excessive' when he knelt on George Floyd's neck for eight minutes until he passed out and later died Freeman warned the investigation 'can't be rushed' He voiced fears of a repeat of the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore in 2015 where all charges were dropped against cops involved in the black man's death Outrage is building as still no arrests have been made over Floyd's death with protests entering their third day in Minneapolis

Did you see the photo of the cop with knee staring at camera? Dead eyes of a sicko.
That attitude hasn't changed, just the color of the masks and the people wearing them.
As they should be.
I had heard he died in the hospital sorry.
That should satisfy the protestors. They’ll go home now.
Well, it is why we have this danged pesky thing called “due process”...
To most normal people, you view that video of the guy having his neck kneeled on, that is wrong in nearly every way.
But that video is often presented to us by the media and by race baiters (such as Black Lives Matter, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton) with little or no context at best, and at worst, what little context given to us is usually laudatory to the victim, “he didn’t do anything” or “he was a good person who was turning his life around” coupled with interviews from ‘witnesses’ who say the guy did nothing wrong.
And all those things may indeed be true, and it is a case of police malfeasance and evil non-professional behavior worthy of murder charges.
But it is also true they may not be. And I am not willing to send a man to the gallows or prison on the sole basis of a shot of video, shaped by the likes of the US Media, framed with the context THEY think is important or applicable, and excluding context that does not support their narrative.
That is why we have legal trials and not media or race baiter launched lynchings.
Internal Affairs strikes again.

Did search. Nuthin’ popped up. So, round 2. Butt still getting comments from folks who missed the earlier post. Have a safe weekend.
Why?
I see a policeman applying the full weight of his body thru his knee to the
main blood artery of a under control man for 8 minutes. Let me hand cuff
you with your hands behind your back. Apply my full 230lb weight thru my
knee to one of your main blood arteries for 8 minutes. And see how long you
live. Are you up for it?
Those are just pesky facts. They don't really mean/i> anything.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Paramedics said there were no signs of life while he was in the ambulance nor could they revive him.
Well, “...you ain’t black!...” sure vanished didn’t it?
Maybe lamey clubcar should have prosecuted him when she had a chance. Guess she’ll be off the vp list now.
True, although it is also known that Floyd ceased all motion and had bladder release before he was loaded into the ambulance. It's hard to believe they made things worse, and easier to believe they did their job but it was too late.

“Maybe wait for the autopsy?”
Which autopsy?
The one the city coroner performs? Or the one the family has done thru their attorney’s choice of doctors? Or the one the Feds do when this goes Civil Rights violations case? Or the one done later once the family’s civil case is filed against the city?
All of those have already been tainted by an individual viewer’s bias, and will be disbelieved.
How in the world do you know how much weight the cop was putting on his neck??? Sheeeesh!
Probably I would. The video is pretty powerful stuff, and the police have been known to close ranks to protect one of their own.
As I was saying to my son “what sort of training do the Police officers receive?” “Is this considered excessive force?” “ Is this hold deemed inadvisable in certain circumstances or for any length of time” or are law enforcement given little direction in what is permissible/advisable and left to their own discretion. If there is a finger to point does it need to be pointed at the training and the lack of continued upgrading of skills and information?
