    Prosecutors warn there is ‘evidence that does not support criminal charge’ in case of four cops accused of killing George Floyd as they say police can use a ‘certain amount of force - but not excessive’
    • Authorities dashed hopes that an arrest had been made over the death of the 46-year-old father of two in a press conference Thursday
    • 'We thought we would have another development to tell you about... but we don't,' admitted US Attorney for the District of Minnesota Erica MacDonald
    • This comes as calls mount for white cop Derek Chauvin to be charged with murder after he knelt on George Floyd's neck before he passed out and died
    • County attorney Mike Freeman condemned his actions as 'horrific and terrible' but warned of 'other evidence that does not support a criminal charge'
    • The four Minneapolis officers involved in the arrest of Floyd were fired Tuesday

    I believe ABM posted a link to the video and it got deleted (was it you @ABM ? I don't remember who it was but I think it was him)

    Bullshit. That was excessive. No reason he needed to have his knee on Floyd's neck for 5 minutes. Really at all.

    Cop is probably going to try and blame the coronavirus and say he was trying to social distance.

    Just put the cop in jail. Charge him. Let a jury decided what is excessive and what is not.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Go to a school and separate out all the bullies. Half will become criminals and half will become cops.

    And old saying that's as true today as it ever was.

    lol.....I'll reiterate, if Klobuchar is not selected, it won't necessarily be because of this isolated incident.

    ...to use a term out of Mags' playbook...***SENSATIONALISM***

    The UConn student who has been on the run from the police after murdering two people for the past six days was arrested today, without incident. Murder weapons in the car. Oh and he was white.

    This is the person who threw the first brick into AutoZone to incite the violence. a WHITE man, heavily prepared with gas mask and an umbrella to shield from security cameras. the black man in pink shirt stays next to him asking ‘why’d you do that? why’d you throw that rock?’ while the camera person asks if he is a cop? UPDATE: he has been id’ed as a St Paul cop


    RUMOR ONLY. NOT VERIFIED.
