    Obviously at least 3 of them were directly involved in restraining George Floyd. IMO these three officers will be indicted for manslaughter, homicide, or murder. The 4th officer seen standing near Floyd's head is likely to face lessor charges IMO.

    He stood there and intimidated the crowd from trying to help while Floyd was being tortured and murdered he deserves to be charged with murder too imo.

    The former Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd’s neck was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, prosecutors said.

    Mike Freeman, the Hennepin County attorney, said that the investigation was ongoing regarding the other three officers who were present at the scene.

    Minneapolis will be under a curfew Friday night, with the National Guard on the streets.

  8. This is far less of an appropriate charge given what we've seen as evidence. Unless there is something that the general public does not know this only adds insult to injury.

    I think he may face Federal charges regardless. If you kneel on a persons neck for 8 minutes that is straight up murder.

  10. This is how you know if a prosecutor is in bed with the cops or not. If not, as in the Zimmerman case, then you get a murder charge that should have been manslaughter. If so, as is obvious in this case, you get a manslaughter charge that should be murder. Dopes one and all.
