Already been released by a U.K. source, but this is official I guess. A lot of exculpatory evidence for the officers, which the left isn’t going to like.

And it is exculpatory evidence the press was already aware of...

If I recall, Attorney General Keith Ellison had these videos and refused to release them to the public

Yup. The version we were seeing was one that was bootlegged with a cell phone when they showed the videos to the press.

What is very interesting, is that those in power at the Minneapolis police department were not a falling over themselves to get this out to the public.

What are police supposed to do when the suspect won’t STFU and keeps on reaching over when they tell him hands on the wheel.

This guy would not stop talking for the entire time- “Please sir please wait wait wait please sire don’t shoot me wait please sire wait.. and on and on and on...”

When they tell him to relax and sit down he gets worse.

What did he want them to do? Wait and have a conversation with him? In retrospect it might have calmed him down BUT they did nothing wrong ignoring it.

yep. This is disturbing not so much because of what it contains, but because what it contains could have eliminated a lot of rioting.

They will, however, like the resulting riots and the incremental "progress" it will push us toward cosmic justice over the rule of law.

Remember the St. Trayvon Martin meme which launched BLMm turned out to be fabrication.

Remember the St. Freddie Gray meme which burned much of West Baltimore turned out to be fabrication.

Remember the St. Michael Brown meme which burned much of Ferguson, Missouri turned out to be fabrication.

And now the St. George Floyd meme which burned more than the above combined is exposed to be fabrication.

And what is the result?

Lester Holt, the most trusted name in news, chiding us on our need to make real change by giving into the BLMm agenda.

Major corporations seconding the motion by showering them with millions of dollars in donations.

BLMm thugs doing exactly what they said they would do by moving their crap from big cities into heretofore peaceful places like Fargo, North Dakota and Provo, Utah.

All based on repeated lies pushed by BLMm and their mainsteam media lackeys.

These cops are not only not going to be prosecuted successfully, but they should be offered their jobs back - if they want them.

They are completely innocent.

yep, Ellison was complicit in causing billions in damage from rioting and murders. It's unbelievable what we allow these thugs to get away with.

“These cops are not only not going to be prosecuted successfully, but they should be offered their jobs back - if they want them.”

The policeman in Ferguson (Michael Brown case) was completely exonerated by a grand jury, but still lost his job. George Zimmerman (Travon Martin case) is unemployable.

No matter if the Minneapolis police officers are completely cleared, the left will ensure they never work another day and are hounded for the rest of their lives.
