The electorate has been described by our leaders as a "basket of deplorables", "garbage" and "scoundrels". Besides that, they do truly care.
Trust me when I tell you that this is the prevailing attitude among a majority of our political leaders. Dat's why they call them the "Elite" don't you know.
George Floyd was resisting arrest refusing to go in back of squad car was a convicted felon did time in jail for armed robbery in Texas counterfeiting is aserious crime felony. A large 6ft6in man Officer did what he had to do to control him.
Sorry, it isn't the first time this fellow has gone too far. This instance shows poor situational awareness, and complete incompetence. There were, at least 4 other police standing there watching, they all share the blame, and if 4 trained police can't handle one handcuffed drunk, their leaders, and trainers are also incompetent.
Poor training and poor policies don't absolve an individual of liability or legal jeopardy. Once a subject is cuffed, roll him over, sit him up or stand him up. 7 or 8 minutes of the famous Minneapolis knee maneuver is not appropriate

Being convicted of a felony in Texas is immaterial to the case. Certainly a Minneapolis officer wouldn't have known that to start with anyway

DeleteFailure to train!! And by the way where is the supervisor. Uh oh, we got a problem.
ReplyDeleteI talked to a friend on MPD told me they were taught to use knee to the neck in their academy. I'm sure Chauvin will bring that up in his defense.
