Mike Freeman, county attorney for Hennepin County, condemned the actions of white cop Derek Chauvin as 'horrific and terrible' But he added there was 'other evidence that does not support a criminal charge' Prosecutors must decide if the cop used force deemed 'excessive' when he knelt on George Floyd's neck for eight minutes until he passed out and later died Freeman warned the investigation 'can't be rushed' He voiced fears of a repeat of the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore in 2015 where all charges were dropped against cops involved in the black man's death Outrage is building as still no arrests have been made over Floyd's death with protests entering their third day in Minneapolis

But the leftist liberal mob DEMANDS it - (when they take a break from rioting and looting).

If this is true, wait for some sort of Civil Rights Violations to be filed against the cops. The Politics dictate that they be found guilty of something.

Didn’t Freddy help kill himself by actively jumping around in the back of the Paddy Wagon?

Can't we just "Test" this theory?? How about the Cop being placed in cuffs, being held face down, and have someone forcefully put their knee on his Neck for 8 minutes in front of an impartial Jury to decide if it was excessive?? If it wasn't "excessive" Why did it KILL HIM?????????

The only evidence I’ve seen is a policeman with the full weight of his body
thru his knee putting great pressure on the main blood artery of a handcuffed
and under control man for 8 minutes.
If your main artery is cut off thru pressure, no blood, no oxygen, no
breathing. No life.

So, if they find that George died from a huge drug overdose, you are still going to hold to the theory the knee against the back of the neck, holding him down, killed him?

No, not in the Progressive bastion of Minnesota! we would certainly expect this in the racist Trump fiedoms of Missouri or Arkansas, but Minnesota? This must be absolute proof of the inherent structural racism of the entire white population./s
Tag for convenience.

They’re not protests. They’re riots.

I’ve said for several days that the cause of death is needed to determine if criminal charges are warranted because the knee holding him down may not have caused his death. He looked like he was foaming at the mouth so I wonder if some kind of drug might be a contributing factor.

Also, just what IS the standard procedure to hold someone down while they’re being handcuffed by another officer? And why on earth was he held like that for so long?
