Minneapolis LEO kneeling on neck of black man That died...

**Johnnny5** · May-28-20, 04:36 PM

Here's a video showing when Mr. Floyd was initially pulled over. It's hard to tell, but it appears as if he's either intentionally putting up a small amount of resistance, or is having medical issues even at that point. As he falls to the ground when getting out of the car, then again after crossing the street.

The officer that killed George Floyd, Officer Derek Chauvin, has been the subject of over a dozen misconduct complaints over his career.

How could this be? One of the other officers fired also had such things on his record. Minneapolis has a very liberal Democratic Mayor elected by Minneapolis voters. Minneapolis has a black police chief. It must be Trump's fault that Derek Chauvin was still on the payroll.

Would it surprise you to learn that the Minneapolis Police Department does NOT have a residency requirement for its officers?

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/0...icer-residency

Only about 5.4 percent of Minneapolis officers live in city boundaries, according to data obtained by MPR News from the Minneapolis Police Department.

Given that nearly 95% of the MPD lives outside the city limits, do tell how the party affiliation of the mayor has anything to do with the beliefs and attitudes of the rank-and-file officers of the MPD? They don't live in that city, they didn't vote for that mayor. Their only connection to Minneapolis is that they work there and occasionally kill some of the people who actually live there. Perhaps the fact that Minnesota Vikings team colors are Purple, Gold, and White has something to do with it as well, since you're associating things that have no logical association whatsoever?

Next up, what does the Police Chief's race have to do with it? David Clarke was an African-American Sheriff...and he's a conservative Republican. And as I'm sure you are aware, most police officers are politically conservative. And the largest police union in America, the Fraternal Order of Police, endorsed Trump in 2016.

Minneapolis has a black police chief who was reappointed by the Minneapolis City Council and the very liberal Mayor Frey. Minnesota also has a Democratic Governor. Almost everyone who has any say in Minneapolis government is a Democrat. Those elected officials make the rules there including residency requirements. At least two of those four police officers had a history of abusing their authority. Take some responsibility.

If police who reside outside of Minneapolis cannot control themselves as you imply, why did Gov. Walz call in the National Guard? Some of those guys come from the north woods and who knows what their politics are. Maybe Gov. Walz should have called in antifa whose members are more reliably leftist if they can be roused. Oh wait, they might have been been out late at night burning buildings after the looters were through with them. Burning a block of 'affordable housing' under construction was a nice touch.

I think they said he was drunk; that would explain the falling.

It would also explain why he was driving,if he had killed somebodies baby while driving drunk,it would have been just another day.

Who said he was driving?

watch the video,he was sitting in the drivers seat,in America that would be on the left front side of the vehicle.

There was also a passenger in the front seat [[located on the right side of the vehicle) and passengers in the back seat[[located rearward of the front drivers and passengers seat).

The person sitting in the drivers seat is often referred to as the driver of the vehicle.

The driver of a vehicle is considered the one person that bears the responsibility of operating a vehicle,mostly because the necessary controls needed to operate the vehicle are placed within easy reach of the driver.

Steering wheel,gas pedal,brake pedal and yes to the surprise of everybody discovering this for the first time,a little stick thing that protrudes out of the left side is the steering column is referenced as a turn signal switch.

Does that clear things up?

Yes,if you are intoxicated and sitting in the drivers seat [[located on the left front side of the vehicle in the US version of automobile) with the keys,wether you are in motion or not you will be charged with DWI,everybody knows that.

I will not even go into the whole,let’s take the Mercedes SUV to go try and pass off some fake $20 bills.

I think it is wrong for the mayor of Minneapolis to sit up there instigating riots by repeatedly saying the officer killed the man when he has zero proof of it.

Shows how far the city has really fallen.

**jcole** · May-28-20, 07:09 PM

In the interest of not giving Richard any other chances to add crimes to Mr Floyd's conduct, I don't believe he was "pulled over". He was sitting in the car and the officers arrived due to a call from a store where Mr Floyd tried to cash a $20 bill they "think" was conterfeit.

You're right, the footage does not show him being pulled over. It appears to be a fixed security camera, so we'll likely be seeing the rest of it eventually, not that it really matters one way or the other.

**Richard** · May-28-20, 09:52 PM

Freeman said his job is to prove the officer who kneeled on Floyd "violated a criminal statute. And there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. We need to wade through all of that evidence and come to a meaningful decision and we are doing that to the best of our ability."

Dyes crowd

We do not need no stinking evidence,we determined them guilty,we have the pitchforks and hangman’s noise ready to go,let’s get em.

**Honky Tonk** · May-29-20, 02:49 AM

Probably too late to look at any evidence from any case now.

I remember in 1968 when that area was torched, it took 40 years for them to rebuild it, with the city selling buildings for a dollar in order to entice people to reinvest.

Two target stores have been torched so far, so they shut all of them down, target was one of the few options for shopping that are left, i'm surprised they even torched the liquor store.

What do you expect from a bunch of spoiled self-righteous white Democrat kids?

You know,when I first started watching the videos,my first thought was,where the hell did all of these white kids come from so fast and what are they doing in that neighborhood.

Then I remember how far the twin cities has really fallen off of the progressive liberal cliff.

They had a good run for a few years but as soon as they kicked the conservative dems out they are intent on destroying everything that was accomplished in the past.

As soon as they imported all the Somalis there it was the end of half of the city,the police should just pull out and call it a no go zone like they do in other countries.

They do not refer it to little Mogadishu for nothing.

How come nobody was practicing proper social distancing,clearly they care little about others lives.

Probably didn't want any assholes aiding and abetting a riot.

Too sad we're in this mess stemming from a careless, brutal police officer as his colleagues looked on as the he became the judge, jury and executioner. Other cities are protesting and reacting from similar cases... more good LEOs will be targeted on top of the looting.

I can see why so many LEO's across the country are angry as their job has no been made even more dangerous!

No doubt major city mayor and police chiefs will me meet with their LEO's re. how they're to appropriately subdue individuals suspected of wrong-doing and reforms therein going forth.

Police across US speak out against George Floyd custody death

[Former NYPD officer] Dan Bongino reacts to George Floyd's death: The video tells a story that you can't run away from

From Article:

Bongino explained that there are two types of chockeholds, and added that one, the "tracheal choke", is "almost universally banned in law enforcement."

"But what is happening here appears to be a carotid choke, which is a blood choke, which cuts off ... before the arteries which restricts blood flow to the brain. It is very dangerous.

"After a long period of time, obviously, restricting blood flow to the brain is going to result in potentially permanent damage. In this case, death."
