....”This was murder one, straight up”....

You don’t know that. How do you know if his complaints about his stomach being upset and body aching all over isn’t from other medical issues as has happened before? Only the autopsy will show that. Additional his head was in full motion for a time with the officers knee there.

Things are not what they always appear to be even with videos. one witness is recorded shouting “He’s not resisting anymore” which certainly evidences that he was.

People need to wait for the investigation....and not just go with the media hype.

Let's do an experiment. Let's get a 220-lb guy to put his knee on your neck for 7-9 minutes while you are lying down prone and handcuffed. Your're not on drugs or anything, right?

You are such a worthless dishonest troll. FR would be far better if you left.

What we know about the four officers fired for killing George Floyd!

Derek Chauvin

The white police officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck has already been investigated over three police shootings and a fatal car chase.

In 2006 Derek Chauvin, 44, was one of six officers connected to the death of Wayne Reyes. Reyes, 42 was killed by officers after allegedly pulling a shotgun on the six cops, which included Chauvin.

Two years later Chauvin was investigated for his role in the 2008 shooting of Ira Latrell Toles during a domestic assault call.

Toles was wounded after police said he went for an officer's gun and Chauvin shot him.

And in 2011 23-year-old Leroy Martinez was shot and injured during a chase given by officers including Chauvin.

Tou Thao

Tou Thao, was part of a $25,000 out of court settlement after being sued for using excessive force in 2017.

A lawsuit obtained by the DailyMail.com shows Thao was sued for using excessive force in arrest where he was accused of punching and kicking a handcuffed suspect 'until his teeth broke'.

The remaining two officers have been identified as Thomas Lane and J Alexander Kueng. Both were reportedly rookie cops who were still in their probationary periods, according to the StarTribune.
