GREAT Advocate more violence

[kimgarwel12@gmail.com]

Is he racist just against black people??? Because he's married to an Asian woman, who is in the process of divorcing him since this incident. Sounds like he's going to be losing more than just his job. They were apparently using the home in Windemere as a rental, so not sure if they ever actually used it personally. Yes, he needs to be nailed but good on this, as well as the other 3 with him, 2 of whom knelt on the back of this man (3 holding him down) while one watched their backs. They're all complicit and need to be prosecuted for accessory to murder, at the very least. I know it's tough being a cop, but this is not acceptable behavior.....EVER!

Just asking so I can understand your post, who are THEY that are bouncers?
Thanx

Since they worked at the same club for years I continue to wonder if Chauvrin had a personal grudge against Floyd. What troubles me beyond Chauvrin is the action/inaction of the other three cops.

This was a no win situation. Apparently in that jurisdiction over the last 5 years there have been 44 incidents where suspects lost consciousness after the knee to neck tactic was used and no one died. So no one expected Floyd to die. Therefore, if one of the other cops stopped him and Floyd did not die then that cop would have been an outcast for not supporting a fellow officer and instead supporting a suspect in public. At that point that cop might as well quit. The sad thing is Floyd did die. Hopefully the police community will learn from this tragedy. The only solution to this incident is to make tactics like this illegal, therefore, if a cop uses excessive force they lose their job or worse. Then the other cops would have no choice but to stop another cop from using excessive force.

Excellent post.

This was a perfect storm waiting to happen. The bad cop who has fallen through the cracks for 19 years meets the newly released con from Houston on the street in Minneapolis.

Yeah, if he doesn't end up killing himself. He doesn't deserve the right to commit suicide!

Thank YOU~! i can't imagine what it would be like to be 'good' cop these days. you're out there doing your job when some 'for lack of better words' bad actor cop ruins everything you do & has made your job a living hell.
to feel better, i look @ all the positive photos that have come out of this: the police chief hugging a lady protestor in tears; the video of the cop who became 'lost' & a group of peaceful protestors forming a human chain around him for protection until the cop could be safely moved away. IF any good comes from this nightmare, it will be a massive upheaval in the way SOME cops operate. last night i learned the doj shut down the precinct where the killer cop was from, for major investigations. let's hope it's only the beginning.
ps: george had a daughter, 6yrs old. she will see her father being killed one day, how sad is that?

I totally agree.

Which is why I started this thread.

Suicide would be great it would prevent the possibility of reliving the last week over again. 3rd degree murder appears to be a slam dunk. However if the prosecution decides to go for 1st degree they put the conviction at risk. Overcharging gives the defense a lot more to work with and could result in a not guilty verdict. That would begin the violence again. I believe we should show him some compassion by giving him a scalpel to cut his food and a rope to hang up his clothes. Today!

This is from CBS news:
Since the beginning of 2015, officers from the Minneapolis Police Department have rendered people unconscious with neck restraints 44 times, according to an NBC News analysis of police records. Several police experts said that number appears to be unusually high.

If this turns out to be true (or it's even worse), it might indicate an unwritten/wink-wink policy...and could explain why the other 3 cops just stood there.

It will be interesting to see if any of the other 3 cooperate with the prosecution, or if the union will once again...actively try to intimidate other cops.
