Prosecutors warn there is 'evidence that does not support criminal charge' in case of four cops accused of killing George Floyd

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

“The only evidence I’ve seen is a policeman with the full weight of his body thru his knee . . .”

I doubt the policeman was placing his full body weight on the one knee.

But after watching television, getting caught up in all the emotional claims, and being embarrassed by “yet another race-based killing” - I can understand why you said that.

If they overcharge he walks.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

If that caused Floyd’s death, the autopsy will reveal that. In the meantime, the more reasonable approach is to wait until all the facts are in before making a final judgement.

He killed hisself by refusing to get in the police car because he CLAIMED to be claustrophobic. Criminals ALWAYS LIE TO POLICE, sometimes/MANY times to the ridiculous!

“These aren’t MY pants”

Those drugs/guns you found in MY car aren’t MINE.

I only had TWO beers.

I didn’t stop cause I didn’t see your lights BLAZING or your sirens WAILING.

Suspects sometimes RUN even while handcuffed.

I was taught to say only TWO things to police. “Yes sir” and “no sir”.

Being a wiser adult, I have learned there is a THIRD thing, “lawyer”.

[know.your.why]

So, if they find that George died from a huge drug overdose, you are still going to hold to the theory the knee against the back of the neck, holding him down, killed him?
*****************
So..just to be clear. We have a man. Handcuffed. Face down. With what looks to be about 180lbs worth of a cops knee cap focused on a small area of the back-quarter of his neck. He’s begging for help. Says he cant breathe. He passes out and dies. The cop keeps his weight on his neck.

And you’re suggesting that he just happened to slip into a coma from a lethal dose of some drug whereas before he was walking????

Are you high?

[moovova]

I think the hospital is where he was “pronounced” dead. That threw some confusion into the situation.

[MuttTheHoople]

These Minnesota policemen, prosecutors, and other government officials that had Floyd killed were ALL leftist Democrat Farm Labor neo-Stalinists. While I won’t say that the police killing was a hit, I will say the passive, wimpy reaction to the wholesale violence and looting is a direct cause of leftist policies.

Did you see the photo of the cop with knee staring at camera? Dead eyes of a sicko.

It was very bizarre. There was nothing human about him.

[skimbell]

Could be close to over.

The video I saw on the news showed the Target was about empty.

“Nobody knows what happened once he was in the ambulance.”

Until all the evidence is sorted out and presented, people only know what they have been presented with. If it is determined murder, punish.

I can remember when ABC got caught doctoring the police tape on the arrival of George Zimmerman at the Sanford police station.

Looked a little embarrassing when the doctor’s report noted Zimmerman was diagnosed with a “closed fracture” of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin anbd was able to get to his doctor. And that Zimmerman also suffered bruising in the upper lip and cheek and lower back pain. The two lacerations on the back of his head, one of them nearly an inch long, the other about a quarter-inch long.

Wait for the evidence we haven’t seen before you make a decision on what it appears to be.

I had heard he died in the hospital sorry.

Check your source.

The media lies by telling the truth.

The report was 'He was pronounce dead at the hospital'.

That's when it became official, it has little to do with when he actually expired, and everything to do with only one of the anointed ones, a doctor, can recognize death...

[faucetman]

NAh, they would rather pull a Michael Brown or a Trayvon Martin.

You can never have too many big screen TVs.

Nothing screams “injustice” better than looting and burning down businesses.

“No justice, new TVs”

[know.your.why]

Sadism.

Yes, but a doctor has to pronounce it.

[null and void]

WELL SAID!!

[cranked]

Of course there is alleged “evidence that does not support criminal charges”? Really?

Explain away why a mofo police officer has his knee forcefully placed upon a handcuffed man lying on his stomach....for nearly 8 minutes without pulling his knee off the subdued individual....and that is not CRIMINAL?! Mofo’ing police officer should be charged for manslaughter or murder AND the idiot police officers around him charged, as well...none of them attempted to get the officer off the subdued man’s neck.

[steve8714]

You want them walking on a technicality? have you seen me passing fake $20s?

[digger48]

Well, that settles it.

It’s definitely Trumps fault that all of those Democrat are blowing this

[tennmountainman]

I don’t need to wait. There is no reason an under control, handcuffed
man had that kind of pressure applied to his neck for 8 min.
Why not just put him in the back of a patrol car?
We would not be having this debate. And the officers would not be under
investigation.
