The left elevates criminals and then complain when they act like criminals.
I thought treating people like criminals just because they are criminals was bad?
“...Lane had racked up a slew of traffic violations and became an officer despite having a criminal record...”
Used to be PD’s sought honorably discharged vets to hire. Now, they are looking for guys with the most minimal criminal records. Who else would want to be a cop these days and swear to enforce the diktats of criminal democrat politicians?
If this is the guy I read about earlier, it was his 4th day on the job, and he could be heard on one of the recordings suggesting more than once that Mr. Floyd be rolled over. He was ignored by the more experienced cops present.<p.
Whatever his background, if that is correct, then he doesn’t deserve to be convicted of anything.
Lane’s a criminal amateur compared to Floyd !
Naw, can’t be a rogue cop with prior record
It’s “Systemic racism”
WETF that means
Minneapolis and Minnesota are so screwed up that the best advice is just do what we do to LA and SF: stay the hell out!
[In October 2001, when Lane was 18, he was charged with two counts of obstructing legal process, damaging property, unlawful assembly, and disorderly conduct. He was convicted of one count of obstructing legal process and one charge of damaging property.
Almost six years later, in March 2007, Lane faced misdemeanor charges of hosting a noisy party or gathering and disorderly conduct. He was found guilty of the noisy-gathering charge.]
Hire a black just because he’s black. Qualifications and red flags don’t matter.
A horrific situation the two rookies found themselves in with the veteran cops. Hopefully, their body cams demonstrate their efforts to mitigate forceful restraint as the man died. If so, we can hope the justice system will have mercy on those men.
Maybe stuff like that is a prerequisite for being a cop there.
Lane, who is black, was one of two minorities who assisted Chauvin with his mistreatment of Floyd.
Criminal record? And he wasn’t black. Unforgivable.
Minneapolis = first black police chief
Havent seen him on TV to answer for the management of his department.
Anyone seen him?
There is something seriously wrong with the story of Floyd’s arrest and death.
What I can’t get over is that Chauvin and Floyd reportedly worked together in a bar.
That needs to be the focus of the investigation. I do not think this was a case of racially motivated brutality, but I do think there is more than just a possibility that Chauvin deliberately killed Floyd.
Did the heart attack Floyd suffered cause the shortness of breath, or did the shortness of breath cause the heart attack? It is next to impossible to repeatedly holler that you can not breathe if you can not breathe. The coroner attributed the cause of death to cardiac arrest.
The democrat controlled media dilberately miss portrayed Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black. He was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill .When actually he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured by not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control Check out

The results of politically induced miss reporting used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial. Led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
If not, who hired him/who signed off on hiring a KNOWN psychopath?
That person or those persons should be sued for reckless endangerment and wrongful death.

More failure of government. And leftists always want to give government more power and control.
