No he didn’t. He had a heart attack.

Where’s the accountability for local violent insurrection?

Actually sort of a combination of the two (heart and OD) .... one thing for sure is the knee had nothing to do with it.

The facts of this case, along with true justice, will produce more civil unrest.

Today’s activities do not bode well for the Twin Cities, going forward.

We are already experiencing April-May like weather. Protests will be an everyday thing.

Jury selection begins on Monday. What most people don’t realize is that the very EARLIEST that the actual trial will commence is Monday, March 29th.

Lots of time for this spin completely out of control.

And it will.

“Give us Barrabas! Give us Barrabas!”

The nature of mobs hasn’t changed in thousands of years.
Nor of those who pander to them.

Wonder if they all have their ‘shopping lists’ filled out in advance?

Died in the hospital a half hour after leaving police custody, as I recall. I see they’re saying he was held “face down.”

Floyd, a Black man, died May 25 after Chauvin, who is White, pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck while Floyd was held face-down on the ground in handcuffs, saying he couldn’t breathe.

False reporting by ap.

Walz called up the NG weeks ago. He knows it’s going to be a repeat of last summer.

That's going to be the case with any urban area.

It would be wise to avoid UAs for the next 4-6 months.
