False news swirls around Minneapolis officer in George Floyd arrest

[goatprairie]

But that doesn't change the fact that what happened to Floyd was absolutely horrific.

The murder happened near where our nephew lives and the rioting is going on in neighborhoods where several other relatives presently live.

It shouldn't be made political from either side...... but both sides will surely do it. 

Praying for calm and for the safety of innocent people in the beautiful South Minneapolis neighborhoods.

The "murder"? Isn't that a little hasty?  I'll admit it looks bad for the officer, but I'd put off claiming murder until all the facts are in.

Nice use of the logical fallacies of the non sequitur and red herrings. How about answering the question.

--------------------------------------
George Floyd is dead because Chauvin stopped him from breathing w/his body weight.
The Minneapolis Precinct was burned to the ground because the Police abandoned it to rioters.
Much of the City has been overrun and destroyed by arsonists and burglars.
Two plus two equals four.
Work from the bottom up, then after you master 2+2=4, you might be ready for some reality?

@Absalom "So your idea is to overcharge him and get any conviction thrown out on a technicality. Good plan."
But you still did not answer the question and you are still using the same two logical fallacies. Like I said "Good Plan"

George Floyd is dead because Democrat officials repeatedly gave Chauvin a free pass on police misconduct.  One of these officials is a US Senator and potential VP nominee.

Democrats need to own this.

No, he is not.

That is not true either.

Derek Chauvin had 16 complaints made against him that were closed with 'no discipline.' A former member of the police review board says that's proof of a broken system.

During the 20 years that preceded Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin's killing of George Floyd, 18 complaints of misconduct had already been filed against him.

Two of the complaints resulted in a "letter of reprimand," but the 16 others had no repercussions at all — and none of their contents have been released to the public.

The apparent lack of accountability and transparency in the handling of prior issues with Chauvin has raised a question: What is even the point of the city's' Police Conduct Review board?

NONSENSE.

I have known and worked with a number of police officers, State Police, County Sheriff's Deputies, and Town and City. The vast majority have been outstanding. And most of them have had complaints against them. And most of them have been dismissed as unfounded. The reason being that some people can be real D!CK$! Body and Dash cams have done alot to protect officers from frivolous complaints. YouTube is filled with videos of people making false claims and the police showing the real deal. Yes there are bad cops, just like there are bad Doctors, Lawyers, teachers, engineers, etc......

That's right, and more to the point, consider what it takes for IAD to summarily dismiss a claim... There are lawyers lining up around the block, eager to start a civil suit against the county/city. Dismissing a frivolous claim means exactly that - there's no there there... Or the suit is inevitable.

So what you are left with is a 20 year veteran of the force with merely TWO letters of reprimand (the least form of punishment there is) and TWO medals of Valor in his jacket... Being accused of a most heinous abuse of his oath. Summarily fired and besmirched. That is unconscionable.

It should have been suspension and investigation... should have taken weeks to indict...

He;s being set up to be the bagholder... looks plain to me.
