Get out of your sheltered little sh!tshack every now and then. Minneapolis is a beautiful city.

Beautiful but rotten to the core.

Has any actual evidence been reported confirming the cause of death, i.e., strangulation, asphyxia, cervical dislocation, asthma, myocardial infarction, narcotics? As opposed to post hoc ergo propter hoc conclusions?

The cop in question was a major-league foul ball who should have been off the force years ago.

The rioting, burning, looting and the rest are absolutely unacceptable.

Let me come sit with my knee on your neck for 10 minutes and see if you're alive to debate whether my knee was the cause of any problems that result.

Yeah. That’s not how it works. And you don’t seem to know much about anatomy.

WTF do you know about Minneapolis? What you see on the news? Shut up and stay in your lane, i.e, your little suburban bubble.

Adding: and from the violent, threatening, and personal time of your response, it would appear that the answer to the question is “no,” and it really pisses you off that anyone would dare question your unsupported, conclusory opinion.

I just watched part of the video, couldn't watch the entire thing because it was so horrifying, but I kept the audio on. Something I can't understand is why did the cops keep telling him to get into the van? Obviously he couldn't being on the ground with a knee in his neck. Why were they even saying that? Does anyone have any explanation for that part?

So true. Now its all about the looting and the armed guards and the President's tweet is all he needed for a re-election. I never thought I would agree with Trump's tweets but when he called the looters thugs, he was right. I'm not black or white and seeing all this as a neutral person who has no fight in this. I cried watching the murder video.

When will people wake up and stop rioting and looting and taking the focus away from what should be the focus - the death of George Floyd by a murderer cop.

George Floyd's death is horrific and when pretty much everyone with a conscience was waiting for the cops to be charged with murder, we have some rioters (who are thugs, not because of the color of their skin) who have turned the focus away from the main issue. The ones who are looting don't care about George Floyd's death. Do you need led tv's to mourn his death?

There were many protesting black and white people (not rioting or looting). The community should take a cue from them and follow Dr.MLK's ways and get the change that is needed.

I really hope George Floyd gets justice.

Does anyone know the standard procedure for cases like this? I would think the cops should have been arrested by now since there is a video evidence, I don't understand whey they are still out.

That is not the focus, George Floyd's death is a result of hundreds of years of white people enslaving, maiming, raping, and murdering black people in support of a racist system. The scary part is that most of them aren't aware they are doing it.

Police unions.

There’s another thread that now says the killer and the victim worked together for 17 years. This is going to turn out to be totally different than what people originally thought. Pre-meditated murder with an accident as there cover story... that’s why they didn’t even try to hide what they were doing.

My BIL and FIL are cops. They aren't exactly racist but they have three categories for people: dirtbags, potential dirtbags, and non-dirtbags. A person's race is fairly irrelevant.

They are generally meatheads (both have college degrees and one's a former naval officer but meatheads all the same) and they are somewhat tiresome to be around.

That said, they have discussed cop problems:

There are two basic categories of problem cops: (1) violent cops like this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver
and (2) fearful cops.

They aren't seeing a rise in category 1. Those cops are there and always will be and they are a serious problem. But, its category 2 that's more of a problem. They are seeing more fearful cops. Police officers, both men and women, who aren't secure enough, confident enough, and spook easily. These are the cops who are more likely to use the tasers. Some of them might be more likely to shoot. Despite the terrible news, cop shootings are relatively rare on a per cop interaction basis. Obviously they should be even more rare.

They think that police departments need to stop protecting these cops and police unions need to stop defending them.

I'm not threatening you. I have no idea who you are. I was demonstrating how ridiculous your logic is. If someone sits with their knee on someone's neck for 10 minutes, that person will likely suffocate. It's common sense.

During the press conference yesterday, the prosecutor made the statement that there is evidence that the actions by the police may not have been criminal. I have no idea what he meant and no idea what evidence he is speaking of, but they were very firm in that they don't want this situation to end with a rushed arrest and prosecution.

Here is a reporter's tweet about it:
