Thomas Lane sentenced to two and a half years, Feds wanted six and a half, and will start serving on October 4th.

U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson sentenced Lane for his February conviction of depriving Floyd of medical care as he lay dying under Officer Derek Chauvin’s knee in May 2020.

“Mr. Lane this is a very serious offense, in which a life was lost,” Magnuson said. “The fact that you did not get up and remove Mr. Chauvin when Mr. Floyd became unconscious is a violation of the law.”

But Magnuson also held up 145 letters of support for Lane — he said he had never received so many on behalf of a defendant — and faulted the Minneapolis Police Department for sending him out with another rookie on the call that ended with Floyd’s killing.

Federal prosecutors had asked U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson to follow nonbinding federal sentencing guidelines and give him 5 1/4 to 6 1/2 years. But Lane’s attorney, Earl Gray, has asked for 2 1/4 years.

When Lane pleaded guilty in state court in May, Gray said Lane hoped to avoid a long sentence. “He has a newborn baby and did not want to risk not being part of the child’s life,” he said.

Sometimes it's best to try and not understand furries.

Say that you easily think Churchill is worse than Stalin and it is the straw that broke the camel's back, lol.

That's everyone else. I think you've been insufferable since the very beginning when you tried to falsely equivocate the greatest force for good in our political system (the Democrats) with people actively trying to do what is worst for everyone (the Republicans)

What a hysterical and unfortunate take to advocate for the complete absence of the left like that, but this is not the thread for it. Intentionally dragging it that way in the first place was as inappropriate as I find your statement to be.
