Three more former Minneapolis cops are still set to stand trial in the death of George Floyd — following Tuesday’s murder conviction for former police officer Derek Chauvin.

The since-fired officers — J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — are all free on $750,000 bail ahead of their trial, which is set to begin Aug. 23.

They face charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder as well as second-degree manslaughter over the May 2020 death of Floyd. They face up to 40 years in prison on the top charge.

All three officers were involved in the fatal arrest, with two of them — Kueng and Lane — restraining Floyd along with Chauvin, according to prosecutors.

Why ANY cop would show any loyalty to a blue-city politician is beyond me.

I don’t see how anyone could stay in police work now, at least not in any Democrat jurisdiction.

A Crisis Facing Law Enforcement: Recruiting in the 21st Century

Sid Smith, MPA, Chief of Police (former)

One need only turn on the nightly news to understand that law enforcement across the United States is facing some unprecedented challenges. Those challenges, including the need to rebuild community trust and law enforcement legitimacy, are confronting agencies large and small from coast to coast. There is, however, a less visible (but, perhaps, even greater) challenge facing law enforcement: recruiting new officers. The conundrum facing all of law enforcement is the need to uphold the highest standards of professionalism in an increasingly violent society while ensuring that the applicant pool is sufficient to meet the needs of the communities they serve.1 This issue has the potential to overshadow nearly all other considerations.2

Law enforcement agencies have experienced astronomical applicant disqualification rates in their attempts to fill existing vacancies. Failure rates during the law enforcement screening process have been reported as high as an astonishing 98.5 percent.8 Given the projections of future vacancy rates in police departments and sheriffs’ offices, sheer mathematics suggest that there may not be sufficient numbers of interested and qualified applicants to fill the positions available, especially when the field is aspiring to recruit the best of the best.

As unfilled vacancies persist, even experienced personnel may become discouraged, which may lead some to consider their retirement options at the earliest possible opportunity.

Might be a bit harder to convict these guys so there’s still some hope in the hood for that new 45 inch Samsung at Walmart....free.

Let’s hope we get a better verdict this time. I want that Samsung!
