A St. Paul, Minnesota, man pleaded guilty Friday in a fire set inside a Minneapolis police precinct during protests and violent unrest following the death of George Floyd last year, prosecutors said.
Davon De-Andre Turner, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. He is the last of four people whose indictments were announced in August to plead guilty in the fires set in Third Precinct headquarters on May 28.
The fires were set as protesters shouted “burn it down, burn it down," and after a fence outside the building was torn down, according to court documents.
They occurred days after a Black man, George Floyd, died after his neck was kneeled upon by a white Minneapolis police officer. Floyd's death caused widespread outrage, and protests for racial justice and police reform occurred across the country.

Man pleads guilty in Minneapolis precinct arson after George Floyd death AT THE HANDS OF THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE MURDERERS.
Guess nbc forgot to add the part in caps.
Except he would have died regardless
He over dosed.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh! That’s like saying someone with covid didn’t REALLY die from a heart attack and not cv-19.
Or a motorcycle crash
**They occurred days after a Black man, George Floyd, died after his neck was kneeled upon by a white Minneapolis police officer. Floyd’s death caused widespread outrage, and protests for racial justice and police reform occurred across the country.**
I have posted this before, but here it is again... from someone that decided a few months ago to experience the knee on the neck for educational purposes for me and my family. I was the receiver of the knee. First, two facts:
1. George Floyd was laying on his chest. It is not possible for the knee on the back of neck to pinch the windpipe. I have demostrated this (to myself and others) more than once.
2. The investigation into George Floyd’s death has shown, drugs killed the man, not the knee on the neck.
There needs to be a massive “knee on the neck” demonstration, with dozens of people doing the procedure, at the SAME time, so the general public can see that is not even close to deadly (provided that the ‘victim’ isn’t in the process of overdosing on dangerous drugs, or afflicted with other issues of poor health.).
I have demonstrated to family members that the knee on the neck looks bad, but only left me (age 66) with a small bruise on the side of the head and a little soreness on my left chest for a couple of days. During the process I was able to breathe with somewhat more than normal effort. After all, the knee was on the back and side of the neck, not the front. My windpipe and arteries were pretty much unaffected during the procedure.
According to records Mr Chauvin weighs about 180#. He was in a four point stance (weight distributed on two knees and two feet), which would put approximately 45# on Mr Floyd’s neck. Sure, Chauvin may have leaned harder on his left knee. Maybe he put 60 or more # on the neck. I noticed from the many pics that Mr Floyd, even while handcuffed was able get his right hand in a position to raise his right chest off the pavement somewhat. And with some twisting at the hips, the right chest area is even more relieved of pressure on the chest, and some of the twist off of the neck. (Mine has been abused, even fractured in the past).
As opposed to
deadly riots
at the Capitol.
His sentence, 10 days home confinement and 20 hours of community service. That will really straighten his ass out.(sic)

Note these are FEDERAL charges. The liberal state of Minnesota has yet to indict anyone.
