Jury selection begins in federal trial of cops accused of aiding George Floyd's murder
By Sarah Polus - 01/20/22 01:36 PM EST

Jury selection began Thursday in the federal trial of three former Minneapolis police officers who are charged in relation to the murder of George Floyd, the Associated Press reports.

The three former officers — J. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — are charged with depriving Floyd of his civil rights while acting under government authority. Kueng, Lane and Thao declined to help Floyd despite it being evident that he was in need of medical assistance, the indictment states.

The accused are also being charged with aiding and abetting the murder at the state level, with the trial now set for June 13.

Potential jurors in the federal trial are being questioned by U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson and subjected to an extensive questionnaire.

Had to wait until Chauvin was convicted of murder so these charges seem more ominous

Hand me the puke bag as I have to stomach more of this George Floyd the felon show.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Until people begin going to jail for their unconstitutional actions, this hubris will continue

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
I don't recall were these cops acquitted or fond innocent by the department? Is this just shades of Rodney King, if you don't get the result you want at the local level than go all medieval federal on them?

Title and presumption:
"Jury selection begins in federal trial of cops accused of aiding George Floyd's murder"

George Floyd wasn't murdered.
