George Floyd Murder by Cop

[Lokus]

Not even sure what charges you would bring to the other 3 and have them actually stick.

Also Customs and Border Patrol is sending predator drones to scout the area

Manslaughter? Their willful disregard for the safety of the poor fucker getting choked to death helped lead to the poor fucker getting choked to death.

"GG, you choked him out. Time to get up" as opposed to sitting there for another 4 minutes.

Accessory to murder x3

Pretty simple, if it doesn't stick then the burning continues. Do it or else.

They can't even charge Chauvin with murder and have it stick. They'd have to prove intent in court. He'd get at most negligent homicide or manslaughter.

Accessory, Criminal Negligence

[Lokus]

The actually sticking part is what I'm more concerned about. I just see them more likely to get acquitted especially the one that was standing and keeping bystanders away.

There are cops here who can correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my understanding that restraining a suspect in this way is explicitly forbidden by the rules & regs. It is known to pose a significant risk of death and be inhumane. You are trained to NOT do this.

As a police officer he would have full knowledge of the risks inherent to kneeling on George's neck. That is intent. No question.

I believe it is the same with a full chokehold.

You may be 100% correct, but how this plays out in court with how cops always get "leeway" with their tactics, I was just stating the possible reality that will happen.

I'm as skeptical of the US justice system for cops as the next guy

But this dude is going to prison

3rd degree murder and manslaughter.

[BerenTebogo]

If he gets any less than like 5 years then what happened last night is going to look like a day at the park.

[Koyangi]

3rd degree murder looks like it may not need the threshold of intent, at least not the way 1 and 2 define it.

Yup can confirm. Ex wifes bf is a cop and has told me countless times this shit is trained into you not to do, same with tasering a suspect in 99% of cases due to the potential they might fall on their head or off something.

Why are tasers even a thing when they shouldn't be used basically ever

Not trying to be funny, but doesn't shooting someone with a bullet instead also lead to them falling and possibly hitting something or falling off of something?

[Yabby]

Because the percentage of them dying from falling down is a lot lower than having a bullet in them.

[Yabby]

And by that i mean, it is just a step in escalation. Meaning if someone pulls out a bat, you pull out the stun gun. If you didn't have a stun gun, the next level would be the real gun, which would be overkill...
