Authorities dashed hopes that an arrest had been made over the [death of George Floyd]….. Prosecutors have warned there is "evidence that does not support criminal charges....

[grey_whiskers]

Thank you. You appear to be one of only two or three honest law-associated people on FR.
The rest seem primarily concerned with seizing any possible threadbare excuse to make sure none of the police even suffer as much as passing inconvenience over the slow death on video in real time, of a civilian already in their custody.

[grey_whiskers]

Did you bother to watch the full, unedited 9-minute video of the now-ex-policeman kneeling on the victim's neck?

That would be sufficient evidence to have put anyone else in prison without bail already.

Why are you so gleeful at the death of a handcuffed civilian?

[grey_whiskers]

Given the political climate there you know the DA will file if they’ve got the slightest thing to hang their hat on - and that video is powerful.

You're lying.

This is the same city that circled the wagons over a Somali cop who shot to death the very woman (a foreigner, in her pajamas, at night) who had called 911 to report a possible rape. Shooting from inside the squad car past his partner in the other side of the squad car.

They made the same condescending lying speech about him, too.

He's now serving 12 1/2 years in prison.

And that is significant, because even the FBI sharpshooter who blew VIcki Weaver's head off in Idaho while she was holding her baby in her arms, when they were after her husband, didn't face trial -- in fact he got promoted.

[grey_whiskers]

You're a liar.

If the cops are convicted and sentenced to death, you will protest their innocence.

Ok you win for funniest. In a not funny situation. 👍🏽

Ten complaints in a 20 year careers not crazy especially for working in high crime areas. I mean you understand they’re complaints from the people they’re not complaints as in charges or ten disciplinary actions from his superiors.
Th video looks really bad and we will see what happens

[grey_whiskers]

Respectfully, for a change, since you're not being a bootlicker.

It's not the video.

it's the video, knowing that he was dead when the paramedics got there.

The JackBootedThug worshippers love to bring up 'he had a prior criminal record!" OK, if it's relevant to him being killed lying down on the street, the officers' prior use of excessive force counts too. Because he's DEAD. They didn't even have to get out their nightsticks OR tasers OR guns, so he can't have been *that* much of a threat. See the difference?

[CivilWarBrewing]

Am I the first to predict this here? If not, I apologize but my take here is that the autopsy will show that George Floyd did NOT die of ASPHYXIATION, or a broken neck!

Drug overdose?

[basalt]

lol..well see...i saw how nervous and rattled those prosecutors were at the press conference...begging the public for anymore videos or anything. They have no case. Any mob inspired charges...demand a trial by judge, case dismissed.

[rbmillerjr]

LOL the charge will be murder 2

You will see. There just stalling and want any and all witnesses to come forward.

That cop is going away for life and you can write him in prison, cause his wife is going to remarry.

[snarkytart]

Can we just say that they should have let off his neck when it was clear he was having trouble breathing? Drugs or not.

rodney king....cops acquitted

michael brown..cops acquitted

freddie grey...cops acquitted

i know some hate authority, but some one has to be in charge. Been that way for years.....

[basalt]

bingo..if i were a betting man.,..which i am, ill lay 5-1 odds this guy didnt die of asphyxiation.

[snarkytart]

Michael Brown = no charges at all.

[rbmillerjr]

“rodney king....cops acquitted
michael brown..cops acquitted
freddie grey...cops acquitted
i know some hate authority, but some one has to be in charge. Been that way for years.....”

Bark’n up the wrong tree. Those were all legit acquittals. My family is full of cops, including my brother.

This one is different no mitigating factors here. The guy is subdued from the time the cuffs are on. Bad cop.

[snarkytart]

asphyxiation sometimes doesn’t leave any physical signs unlike strangulation.

[grey_whiskers]

People are being killed in cold blood, cities are literally burning, and the President is talking of activating the National Guard and re-instituting shoot to kill orders not seen for decades, but protected by Supreme Court precedent, and your response is a puerile "lol" ?

This is not a game, child.

What part of innocent death is it that you enjoy so much?

[basalt]

yea...carbon monoxide or cyanide gas...geez. If there is no severe injuries to the neck, these guys walk.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The over/under on the number of illegal drugs in Floyd’s system is 4 1/2.

[grey_whiskers]

This one was caught on video from six feet away, from the pinning to past the victim's death.

Spin and lies from "officials" cannot hide what the entire world saw.
