New footage shows it was THREE cops.

Wow, that's crazy. That's even worse.

Exactly, R3.

And just in two facts - one of the cops KNEW the guy they pinned down. They worked together doing security work for a local night club. Second I hear one of the cops has been terminated and charged.

My God.

They wanted to make sure he really died. Dead men can't testify. And the police union likes this more than a live victim. They're happy for cities to pay out millions in wrongful death lawsuits. Most cops get away with beating, robbing, raping, maiming and killing innocent people and keep their jobs. And as a reward for beating their criminal charges, most get a promotion. True fact

This murdering fuck from Minneapolis will probably work out some type of deal, where he is able to get his pension. I think he had 19 years of service. They only need 20 to retire with a full pension. If he doesn't, he'll fight his firing. And he'll win his wrongful termination lawsuit. Mark my words. He'll win, he'll get back pay and he'll be allowed to retire with a full pension and medical benefits

The cops only fired the head murderer because the president was talking about it, and they don't want the city to be burned down. I can almost guarantee they fired him in such a way that would allow him to win a wrongful termination suit

Fucking murder.

White cops will all get off

Executed by racist pigs in broad daylight. Unfuckingbelievable. Life in prison without parole for everyone involved.

Interesting that this side/aspect of the story is being subdued.

I haven't watched the video, I just don't have the stomach for it. Those three should be considered Killer Cop's accomplices.

[quote]The cops only fired the head murderer

All 4 were fired. Only Derek Chauvin (the "head murderer") has been charged so far.

[quote]White cops will all get off

One of the cops, Tou Thao, is Hmong American. I am not sure of the ethnicity of the other 2 -- though one of them, J. Alexander Kueng, may not be "white" either.

Watch it! It is your responsibility as a human being. It should be played everywhere. Very very sick. And the cutie mayor has to take responsibility for it along with the chief of police. They both should have their careers completely destroyed. It is that horrible. What a terrible terrible thing. And this happened all the time. There just weren't smart phones.

If I understand correctly, the police were called because of a bad check or suspected counterfeit money. So why do so many police show up for that particular call?

R14, IME, this is how it goes. The store employee calls 911. The 911 dispatcher radios out for someone (officer) on patrol to respond (i.e., go to the store). All patrol officers would hear the dispatcher. There's one officer per patrol car (not like on TV where you see 2 cops sitting in one car). Usually, there would be at least 2 officers to respond / arrive, for officer safety reasons (i.e., having a backup).

Looks like this happened in the day, which is normally less busy, crime-wise, than at night. There happened to be 4 officers in patrol cars within reasonable proximity to this store. They all showed up.

R13 made laugh, just because of the tone shift. Righteousness to mayor cutie. 😂

R15, in NYC all patrol cars have two officers

[quote] If I understand correctly, the police were called because of a bad check or suspected counterfeit money. So why do so many police show up for that particular call?

The head killer (chauvin) , his wife also has been arrested for writing bad checks

I heard George Floyd had a counterfeit $20 bill. I've gotten counterfeit money from my bank before.

And R15, the cops all have police radios. This type of call doesn't require 4 cops. The dispatcher puts out the call, who ever is closest and isn't doing something else responds that they will take the call. The other cops were just being dicks. One might have been for backup, but not the other two. Four cops weren't required. They were looking to make some trouble for someone. And they did

R18, I understand what you're saying. I'm just speculating on why 4 might have shown up. It was day time (less crime going on) and they all happened to be in the vicinity with nothing better to do.

R17, thanks for that info. Makes sense that in NYC, there would be 2 cops in 1 car, instant backup.

So the one that murdered him by holding his knee on his neck didn't need to do that at all. (we knew that)

The other two cops had him down on the ground and were holding him there.

So how many of you WERE brave enough to watch the video?

I watched the full 10 minute video a couple days ago. I wish I hadn't. I still can't get it out of my head. It's so much worse than the excerpts they've shown on the news programs. The real horror is watching that fucking cop continue to kneel on George Floyd's neck long after he is unconscious and not moving, while the passersby scream at the cops to stop, to check his pulse, that they are killing him. The cops don't give a damn. It's one of the most chilling, cold-hearted things I've ever seen.

Linked is an interesting video, put together by NBC, of the first minutes of the arrest. Unfortunately, the key moments right before Floyd ends up on the ground with the cop kneeling on him are missing, but it at least provides a bit more context.

They still seem to be downplaying the THREE cops aspect on the news. I saw a FLASH of the THREE on a TV news.
