George Floyd Murder by Cop

[Athas]

Minneapolis police union president Bob Kroll has officially commented.




tl:dr they will fight the any charges brought upon the four former officers involved in Floyd's death

This shit was condemned by literally everyone. What is going on here?

That's the police unions job. They literally the worst and have to defend every dirt bag and try to get them rehired.

I've been wondering this myself. Even if Lloyd didn't die the entire report was an excessive use of police force. Gun pulled on him despite his hands being visible, apparently being placed in the car, removed, then placed in again, then the knee thing.

I think the only thing that officer did that day correct was dress himself.

This is how it is here. And once again, everyone gets enlightened.

This is why there are protests. It goes deeper than "just fire bad cops lol". These police unions have incredible power and are ridiculously insular and single-minded. Cops can do no wrong, period. Ever. The unions exist to keep cops employed and paid regardless of the accusations.

High level reform is needed and it is an issue that requires more attention than is, and has historically been, given.

Unless the officer is black, then it's a delayed response.

New information a about the driver of the semi. He was speeding and panicked when he saw the crowd.

That wide angle video seems to support this? He honks way before getting near the crowd and doesn't hit a single person. If he wanted to kill people he def wouldn't have stopped.

And those texts- it looks like he is referring to driving to a shitty part of town that is getting looted and burnt

I'm no detective, but it really doesn't look like this dude was trying to kill people. and those texts don't show what people are saying they show.

A federal judge in Brooklyn set bail Monday for two local lawyers charged in a molotov cocktail attack on a police van as prosecutors said the pair tried to arm other protesters with the makeshift incendiary devices.

Bond was set at $250,000 apiece for the lawyers, Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, and home detention was ordered, but prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York are appealing the magistrate judge’s bail decision, saying Mattis and Rahman are dangers to the community. The two are among the hundreds who have been arrested in the city during the ongoing and often-violent protests over the Minneapolis death of George Floyd in police custody and other such incidents.

According to court papers, NYPD officers caught Mattis and Rahman trying to flee after setting the marked police van ablaze early Saturday. The documents state that the two had toilet paper, a Bud Light can and “a liquid suspected to be gasoline in the vicinity of the passenger seat and a gasoline tank” in the back of the 2015 Chrysler minivan they were driving, which was registered in Mattis’s name.

Rahman, who is alleged to have thrown the homemade device, tried to hand out explosive materials to others “so that those individuals could likewise use the incendiary devices in furtherance of more destruction and violence,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn.

Yeah I had to dig deep into twitter to find it. And even then, its an unverified account and barely any retweets or comments or etc. I remember seeing it more prominently the other day but considering how hard it was to find just now, makes me question the validity

the texts may well be real, but they don't certainly don't show intent to kill protesters. he's literally talking about providing fuel to an area that is under siege by looters and arsonists.

What are the odds Trump is compassionate and appropriate? 1%? 0.5%?
