To keep you up to date, just last month the Supreme Court is upheld (7-2) a constitutional rule that allows state and federal governments to prosecute someone for the same crime (dual sovereignty).

Yes, and that was a travesty.

“Saint George of Fentanyl” died from a self-inflicted drug overdose of fentanyl & meth.

“Political prisoner to be forgotten.”

These civil rights charges are all bogus and they are never used for anything except political purposes. It is just a way around double jeopardy. How do you murder someone without violating their civil rights? They are one and the same crime.

Who thinks this was the original intent of the Founding Fathers? What fair person thinks this is OK?

In the time of our Founding Fathers, fifty armed men would've shown up at the jail and demanded Chauvin's release.

“Why be a cop if this can happen.”

Yup, what is going to happen is that the only people who will want to be cops are the ones who are in it to bust heads.

Shouldn’t he be released because of Covid like all the other criminals are being released?

George Floyd VIOLATED THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF MANY WHEN HE WAS ALIVE-—and he skated.

So if they passed an act to protect late term abortion and the state made it illegal would it be a crime? Thr sovereign argument doesn’t seem to make sense.

Served concurrently... so NO, not 20 MORE years. Just a ‘dual custody’ arrangement.

What a corrupt country we have become.

And he didn’t kill Floyd... Floyd killed Floyd— ‘I can’t breathe....!” Because of the amount of Fentanyl found in his toxicology blood tests— Respiratory suppression levels in the dude who was SELLING the crap. Some hero. And this officer needs to be pardoned- won’t be joebama doing it. After all Smollett is OUT!

He would then be sent back to Minnesota to serve out the remainder of his sentence there. Trump can’t issue a pardon for a state conviction.

Happened yo blacks in the past. Never should happen to anyone. Our system, without true Christian love, does this. Will continue.
