Does anyone have followup information on any of the involved officers whereabouts as to prisons?
We all wondered what prison could insure they would live a full day.

And to think Floyd was on illegal and dangerous drugs and had medical issues and was a felon who once pressed a gun against a pregnant woman’s abdomen to force her to tell where more money was hidden. Were her civil rights impinged upon?

What “civil rights” were violated?

Lynch mob.

The "judges" (stooges) and "prosecutors" (persecutors) are part of the mob.

Ex-Minneapolis police officer Thomas Lane sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for violating George Floyd’s civil rights

See? More bullsh*t!

The courts are garbage.

So a rookie officer on his fourth day was supposed to speak up and say “Be gentle with this felon lest his civil rights be violated” ?

No rookie talks back to veterans in any such situation.

Thus, how did a rookie have the power to impinge on Floyd’s civil rights? Not worth imprisonment in any way.

And no issue with ‘gf’ violating other citizens rights. I consider it suicide by cop. The deceased was solely responsible for what occured that day. 🐂💩🙅

If that's not a glaring deterrent to avoid work at blue-city police departments, I don't know what is.

What about the civil rights of all the people in RAT cities who had their property destroyed or their lives ended in the race riots of 2020? What about the civil rights of all those arrested and thrown in jails for exercising their Constitutional rights on J6?

At least Trump can pardon the federal charges but with a 2.5 year sentence, that’s kind of pointless.

Lane shouldn’t have even been charged.

> Lane testified that he asked Chauvin twice to reposition Floyd while restraining him but was denied both times. <

For the sake of argument, let’s assume that the senior officer, Chauvin, was wrong. The above statement should clear rookie officer Lane anyway. After all, what was Lane supposed to do, shoot Chauvin?

The “reasonable person” argument should apply here. Would a reasonable person in Lane’s shoes have behaved as Lane did? The answer is yes.

But I suppose the guillotine must be fed (so to speak).

“Lane, a rookie officer on his fourth day on the job”
I cannot fathom this.

It’s not about justice, or common sense. It’s about politics. In politics, you will always not be able to understand it because it isn’t about what is right. So, I agree. I can’t fathom it either.

Black criminals are the new intersectional victim class. Completely protected by democrats and their violent terrorist front groups BLM and antifa.

When a democrat voter sees an old White man walking, and attacks him violently, it’s called a knockout “game.” No one raises the issue of violation of civil rights.
