Depraved indifference is the legal term in the Probable Cause Document charging the ex-cop with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter. Intent is not an element under Minnesota Law.
One of the kneeling cop's partners, who had been helping to hold down the handcuffed guy, checks the guys pulse, and tells the kneeler, hey, he doesn't have a pulse.
The cop continues kneeling on his neck for another two minutes. Doesn't check for a pulse himself, doesn't start CPR -- and pulls out and brandishes a can of mace at a bystander who approaches, trying to help the dying man.
That's 3rd degree, depraved indifference, on a single uncut video, 9 minutes long, taken from six feet away, and referenced in the Probable Cause document.
Look when Mohammed Noor shot past his partner, inside the patrol car, to kill a woman in pajamas who had called 911 to report what sounded like a rape in progress, it took them 8 or 9 months to arrest him.
This guy got arrested in 3 or 4 days and his bond set at $500,000.
What part of "they have him down cold" are you so unwilling to face?
The Constitution was written to protect us against this kind of government treatment.
I’m going to assume you sent this to me by mistake.
