[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republican Trey Gowdy is saying there's NO reason why the killer cop hasn't yet been charged and arrested.

Why won't any of their Democrats say this?[/quote]
Plenty of Democrats have said this, including the mayor of Minneapolis.[/quote]

Maybe they are awaiting autopsy results to confirm what actually caused the man's death?  We are assuming that the cop kneeling on his neck killed the guy but if it turned out to be a heart attack, stroke or OD...what then?[/quote]

He coincidentally had a stroke at the very moment a police officer had his knee on his throat?

GMAFB.

I’m sure they are in negotiation with the police union right now. If they arrest maybe that Trump police union guy is threatening to have them all go on strike.

Your conspiracy theory is rich. Stop deflecting from the facts.

The fact is they haven’t made any arrests yet.

[i]A dissent from the general condemnation was voiced by Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, who said, “Now is not the time to rush to judgment and immediately condemn our officers.

“We ask that the community remain calm and the investigation be completed in full,” Kroll added.

But police officials elsewhere said they had seen enough.

“There is no need to see more video. There is no need to wait to see how ‘it plays out,’” Chattanooga, Tenn., Police Chief David Roddy tweeted. “There is no need to put a knee on someone’s neck for NINE minutes. There IS a need to DO something. If you wear a badge and you don’t have an issue with this ... turn it in.”[/i]

Kroll is the racist Trump supporter heading up the police union.

Kroll fed the nasty, racist police culture.

[i][b]“The fact that these officers were being filmed by bystanders and still continued to engage in that conduct shows you everything about the culture of the Minneapolis Police Department[/b],” said Michelle Gross, the president of Communities United Against Police Brutality. “[b]They feel they’re immune to any kind of accountability. They feel they can get away with it.[/b]”

While politicians and activists in Minneapolis embrace the language of racial justice, some critics say they often fail to put those words into action.

There have been some hard-won police reforms, including a change to the use-of-force manual requiring that officers intervene when they see colleagues using excessive force.

[b]One of the biggest challenges to reforming the department, analysts say, is the city’s powerful police union.[/b] It established its power in local politics in the 1970s, when Charles A. Stenvig, a former head of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, served three terms as mayor on a “law and order” platform.

[b]Lt. Bob Kroll, the head of the union, was accused in Chief Arradondo’s lawsuit of calling a black congressman who was Muslim a “terrorist” and of wearing a motorcycle jacket with a badge that said “white power.”[/b] Lieutenant Kroll did not respond to messages seeking comment. [/i]
