BREAKING:


3 more cops charged in George Floyd death, other officer’s murder charge upgraded, Sen. Klobuchar says


Three former Minneapolis police officers will be criminally charged Wednesday in connection with the death of George Floyd, Sen. Amy Klobuchar wrote in a post on Twitter. 

In addition, Derek Chauvin, a former officer who had already been charged with third-degree murder in the case, will now be charged with second-degree murder, the Minnesota Democrat wrote. 

Klobuchar did not detail the charges that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison plans to file against the three other ex-cops: Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane.

It is right that the chrges were uped to 2'nd degree murder for the pig cop who murdered Floyd. The charges of aiding and abetting 2'nd degree murder is, IMO. weak. Hopefully the charges will me increased to 3'rd degree murder. Although the arrorney for the Floyd family believes the charges should be 1'st degree murder across the board. I must say his argument makes some sense.

According to the other side, George Floyd's death was the result of a pre-existing condition. He couldn't breath due to excited delirium. A knee on the neck is no big deal. And, as a resisting criminal, he deserved rough treatment. Additionally, given his condition (diagnosed on scene by one of the officers), Floyd should have known better than to put himself in such a situation (by breaking the law/passing a phony $20). So really Floyd's death was his own fault and not the fault of any of the officers (who were just doing their jobs).

Update: The police officers accused of murdering George Floyd have been "cleared" of any wrongdoing. As per Minus FJ, "The police can't help it if George Floyd OD'd in their custody with Fentanyl and a COVID-19 respiratory highball".

Derv Those folks are not worth arguing with. I'm done with him.

Minus and the rest of the lot over at the Mother Ship support and admire Trump.

I and the majority of Americans cannot respect or take seriously people that crazy.

Minus is particularly besotted with alt-right paranoia. He parrots stuff from OANN? My Gawd!
