Prosecutors warn there is 'evidence that does not support criminal charge' in case of four cops accused of killing George Floyd

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.

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

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.

What, did they kill the man on the way to the hospital to start this chaos?

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?

That should satisfy the protestors. They’ll go home now.

Well, it is why we have this danged pesky thing called “due process”...

To most normal people, you view that video of the guy having his neck kneeled on, that is wrong in nearly every way.

But that video is often presented to us by the media and by race baiters (such as Black Lives Matter, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton) with little or no context at best, and at worst, what little context given to us is usually laudatory to the victim, “he didn’t do anything” or “he was a good person who was turning his life around” coupled with interviews from ‘witnesses’ who say the guy did nothing wrong.

And all those things may indeed be true, and it is a case of police malfeasance and evil non-professional behavior worthy of murder charges.

But it is also true they may not be. And I am not willing to send a man to the gallows or prison on the sole basis of a shot of video, shaped by the likes of the US Media, framed with the context THEY think is important or applicable, and excluding context that does not support their narrative.

That is why we have legal trials and not media or race baiter launched lynchings.

Question?

Hasn't the four policemen involved in this incident been fired?

As I was saying to my son “what sort of training do the Police officers receive?” “Is this considered excessive force?” “ Is this hold deemed inadvisable in certain circumstances or for any length of time” or are law enforcement given little direction in what is permissible/advisable and left to their own discretion. If there is a finger to point does it need to be pointed at the training and the lack of continued upgrading of skills and information?
