Convicting the other three officer’s involved is critical in breaking the blue wall of silence. Police need to know that their inaction when witnessing a crime against the public makes them complicit in the crime itself.
If they are convicted, trust and believe there are thousands more just like them still on the force, this problem won't end until every single current police officer in the country who has multiple complaints against him/her are either terminated or get their duties reduced to desk work and every person that wants to be a police officer is THOROUGHLY screened for psychological issues and goes through at least 7 years of training

From what I’ve read, Chauvin had 17 complaints against him. He should have been terminated as a police officer a long time ago. At the very least, Chauvin should have been carefully reviewed before the department allowed him to supervise other officers. Tragic all around.
The prosecution wanted to show the bodycam footage of him choking out a 14 year old that was bleeding from the ear after Chauvin hit him in the head twice with his flashlight. Turns out they didn’t need it to get the conviction but it would have shed some light for the people defending his methods.

I'm especially disgusted with officer Tao excuses, saying people were being loud. Wtf were supposed to say "oh I'm sorry officers we won't bother you while you killing that man"
@My Pets he wasn't rookie. He is sineor officer. I saw his interview after. "Controling the crowd" they were pleading and begging for man's life. What do you what crowed to do? If my own family is standing on someone's neck, killing him, I would stopped it. He died painful death. Even people who are being executed are shown more compassion. They die peacefully. But I do feel bad for 2 young officers
The fact that these guys knew they were being videotaped and still did what they did speaks volumes as to what they thought they could do. In prison they're all going to wish they were dead.
when we say "but for the video, we never would've had these trials..." what we're really saying is "but for the video of the bystanders and the resulting global BLM protests..." because police had access to the bodycam videos when they put out their initial statement

The police body cams were essential because they captured the cops' conversations, but none of them showed Chauvin's knee on George Floyd's neck from a decent angle for any length of time. That bystander video was crucial for that reason. Without either, Chauvin would still be a cop.
There comes a time when every man gets tested. That's the time when a man should step up and do the right thing, knowing there will be consequences. The moment Floyd said he couldn't breathe was the moment for Thao to break rank and tell Chauvin "That's enough ", and to physically push Chauvin off of Floyd, if need be. He may lose his job as a consequence of such an action, but he would've done the right thing. Unfortunately for Thao, and for Mr. Floyd, Thao failed that test.
@@v01dmalik What wrong with you ??? He was 100% protecting Chauvin knowing what he was doing!! 😡 They are both criminals in police uniforms! Look at their police complaints!!🖤🖤
All those previous cases of Tao and Chauvin previously assaulting people while cops. Wow how karma comes back. When I seen Chauvin hand cuffed and walked out of court he wasnt walking like a tough guy like he was with his badge
Everyone that has so much negative things to say about this black African American man he died because that cop was intimidated by the color of his pretty brown skin an now justice has been served an I pray for him I pray that god forgive him for what he has done but I also pray that his time he spends in prison go as slow an he rots every day of his life in that cell.
Thao is history as well I believe. He told the medical provider to get out of the way when she was trying to provide aid to somebody she believed was going to die. I don't know about the other 2 cops but this guy is definitely toast.
When I was trained my active senior trainer and myself took a 4 hour break at his house where he fell asleep. In the back of my mind I thought should we be doing this? He then proceeded to curse me out when I didn't wake him up resulting in overtime. I didn't question someone with so much seniority being a few days into the job.
That's such a horrible position that person put you in. Here you are just starting a new job, and they put you in a position of having to loose that job, just to question if what is happening is even right. I would find a new job. When I was 16, I got a job at the subway next to my school. The manager was a bad alcoholic. All three nights I worked there, he took money out of the safe that was located in the middle of the floor. After the third night I never went back. I didn't want to be held responsible for what he was doing, but I was too afraid to tell anyone else, so I just quit.
@@tflowers31 Nothing, but he blamed it on me for being so slow being new and all. When you first start a position you just have to know when to keep your mouth shut. After all you have 20-30 years before retirement and stepping on toes is the first thing on your mind. You just zip your lip until you move up in seniority or tenured.
@@sugarstreicher I agree this is a completely different scenario. It is definitely wrong but it was probably in back of their heads. I can't imagine everyone being on board during this atrocity and I am sure someone wanted to subconsciously stop it.

"The ropes" being this is how you lynch a black man and get away with it. Except they did not count on the bravery of a young girl filming the entire murder.
An American, an Asian and a Muslim walk into a bar......... and this was systemic rasicim. Its the result of a drug addict criminal making the situation difficult. His action caused Chauvins out of scope actions. Chauvin was responsible for the death but not due to systemic racism or murder. It was misconduct resulting in a death and excessive force.
@Troy Z you are correct most folks would not club their manager in the head but I was amazed that not one officer patted him on the back and said "We got him now" can you imagine how many times they run that thru their heads saying "I should have just patted him on the back and told him "we got him now"
Imagine what Minneapolis will be like in 2 years with no police presence lmfao... u should go walk around Minneapolis Friday night at midnight.. let me know how u feel when u get back hahaha
Being a rookie is no excuse whatsoever....those officers were human long before they were rookies....incarcerate all of them! Geez judge .... It was only my third shift...I was just following orders🤦🏻♀️. What a meathead defence!
True. They were human first and foremost. If their compassion couldn't kick in when a man was unconscious for them to give him cpr,especially when it was their duty to do so then they all deserve prison time.
@@beenaplumber8379 Dam if that’s true then they do need to be put on trial lol It’s not like that where I’m at. Spoke from a place of ignorance. Apologies
What’s so striking about the Derek Chauvin case is that it could have happened anywhere. Every police officer (or white person who lives in a black neighborhood) knows about the sob stories, the wailing, the lying, and the sudden switch from threats to begging and back again when blacks face cops.
I agrree. Tou Thao will be in most trouble. The other two are news. If I were them, it was not easy to make quick decision even though they might feel something was wrong. Anyhow, Tou Thao, ready to meet your best friend, Derek Chauvin, ASAP.
Lane is the only one I have questions about. I wonder how they are going to deal with him since he kept asking if this was right, should we roll him over etc.. It was his 3rd shift so I'm wondering..
I actually watched beatings take place - right outside my window - where the police pulled up, searched people and were rougher than needed. The Gowanus Projects were crazy back then but there were many illegal stops, searches and arrests. There were investigations that went nowhere.
RIP Kelly Thomas. he was murdered by a POC cop during the Obama administration in 2011 and his murderers were acquitted during the Obama administration in 2012 and Obama has never spoken one word about the murder of Kelly Thomas and his black Attorney General, Eric Holder, did not file civil rights violation charges against the acquitted officers. Any questions? If those officers were convicted of civil rights violations there might of been police reform and George Floyd might be alive today. PS The police chief in Fullerton where this murder happened admitted on video that Kelly Thomas had broken no law
That 'thin blue line' is still as wide as a river. A river of blood. If not for the cell video, Chauvin will still be on the job. The question begs, how many other Chavins are out there? Hundreds? Thousands? More?
Ofc. Lane is the only one I feel should get any leniency. He did question Chauvin a few times and asked to roll Floyd on his side. He was the newest officer involved but followed Chauvin the most senior of the crew lead.
@@Down-South Helping a dead man into an ambulance is not my idea of helping. At the point thta Lane started to worry how he was going to look on camera, Mr. Floyd would have been brain dead or paralyzed for life. Lane is as guilty as the others. No white privileging on murder.
@@emilerose1424 actually he isn’t. Rookie cop, didn’t really know what to do but did try to help. He gets a plea deal and maybe three years. The Asian dude was just bad big a d****head and is looking at 15-20.
@@Biggdoom344 May I presume that before Lane was a "rookie cop," he was a human being? If so, how does an adult human being not know that murder is wrong--uniform or not? Would he have perceived Chauvin as wrong if Chauvin had been kneeling on the neck of say, a White woman? IF so, then he knew it was wrong. He was just unwilling to intervene for George Floyd. So maybe that settles the human question.
@@emilerose1424 chauvin was the most Sr cop of the force. Being new he didn’t want to make enemies. Does not make him innocent, just less guilty. He did try to get Floyd help.
@@theobladio6188 he wasnt given the chance to take responsibility. his life was stolen before he could make any decision. that’s why we’re here. if chauvin was an upstanding man, floyd would have been the one on the stand.
The officer that said "I am worried he doesn't have a pulse and asked shouldn't we turn him over, may not face the same charges as Chauvin. But Tau who kept that emt officer from providing help to Floyd may be in trouble. What will be Tau's defense? I was just doing my job?? I was just doing my part?
I really feel bad for the 2 rookies. As subordinates in training their job was to follow their trainers' instructions. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Officer Lane was the one to tell chauvin to roll him over and the one who found no pulse and chauvin still wouldn't listen. This office did want to do the right thing.
This is not over until a REAL, FAIR sentence is handed down. At minimum the judge better give him something in the middle. If he gives him the minimum for each... then this was another waste and another protection of officers. I'd prefer the maximum, obviously.

Police forces can legally discriminate against people for being too intelligent. They’re capped at an iq of 104-107. I believe that combining an average iq with an above-average allowance to use force against others, can have no other result than widespread abuses.
That female officer should be charged also in the innitial video encouraging dereck to keep pressure on the neck of Floyd. I don't understand why she was not charged.
This was still all up in the air. It would be poetic if they got all of these cops to testify against Chauvin thinking it was going to save their team, but they all get dragged into court for accessory in what is now known to be a murder 😬
Yes they need to all go down together! But why cant we hold our own lawmakers and representatives to the same standards with such a loophole that isn't fare too We The People still existing!
My city of Buffalo, NY just passed the Duty to Intervene law which requires officers to intervene in such cases or to also be held accountable for doing nothing. It was named in honor of a Black police officer, Cairol Horne who lost her job about 15 years or so for physically stopping a cop who was doing an illegal chokehold on an arrested man. Just last week after fighting alllllll these years, she was able to get not only her pension but all her back pay. She had been less than a year short of retirement. A hometown hero whose actions helped change problematic policing. Hopefully, this is just the first of many states and municipalities coming to terms with the sad fact that police abuse their power and especially with non-whites, such that they pass similar laws.
I just like the fact that I got a chance to see Chauvin put in handcuffs . I've spent the last 12months or so seeing the photo of that officers knee in the neck of George Floyd . Now to see him in handcuffs is so satisfying I'd like to see that image go viral .
Lane was a probation officer before for about a year. He wasn't a new rookie like they try to make him out to be. In the end, he went with the bad guys. He went along. Watch his police interview. He avoids saying that George Floyd was saying I can't breath. He was avoiding and skirting around stuff. In the end, he just only cared about himself. So part of his character was showing up in that interview. Shoot, the more he was justifying his actions, the more they were being pointed out like a sore thumb. For instance, they asked, why didn't you just let him sit in the sidewalk like you did before? They asked him, what was your training when it comes to a person in crisis? He said, you talk with them. But when George Floyd was in crisis asking for them to just listen to him, Lane said, we're not going to listen to you because you won't listen to us! Also, he didn't call his supervisor.
Lane gave CPR. and told Chauvin to stop. He was on the ambulance trying to revive him. It’s not his culpability. He can’t control what somebody else does. It is guilt by association. Thao is guilty.
@@Nannerchan , if Lane thinks he has a case, he should get a lawyer and fight it. Do you remember what the lady in the fire truck said to him regarding the ems team working on Floyd? She said, he, Floyd, should do well if they got to him fast, or the quicker you give cpr, the better the outcome. Right when Kueng said I can't find a pulse and the lights from the ems ambulance reflected off of the squad car was 2 minutes and 36 seconds. Lane's lawyer is going to have to work with that. It's a huge problem.
May this be a lesson learned, never follow and fear a bully coworker. How could they just sit there. I would have pushed Derek off, even if it costed my job. Now they have no job and jail time. WOW! There is a right way, and a wrong way to do everything in life.
Yup, they need some kind of punishment for doing the minimum of only making suggestions. And evidently Chauvin only weighed 140 lbs (I don't believe that) soooo... could have knocked him off of Floyd easy. I get the pressure, but a guy was slowly... very slowly killed.
Right...so now Minnesota has to follow the same rules with Chauvin..keep him safe and not contribute to his death...he’ll be alright. The best health care, entertainment, yard time, meals, a job, he’s got nothing to worry about. He was already there 6 months...so what’s another 50 years?
Yes you are so right if it was not for those people standing by and video the hold thing we would not have this guilty verdict yesterday thank God for them, and the ex officers Tou Thao who prevented that off duty firefighter from giving George Floyd help need to also be sentence and go to prison, and also the other two officers that's was holding down George Floyd feet also need to be sentence too and go to prison because they are all part of George Floyd death dam wicked all off them.
What saddens me the most is that he begged for his life, he was helpless trying to reach out to their human side but to no avail. I hope he is in a better place and knows what George Floyd means to us and that people cared. Hope he knows.

@@realtalk5329 well i guess they stayed more or less ah much as chauvin did so around 9.5 minutes. And yes, you are indeed right and in fact, i think they should be charged. At the same time, since it should be a fair trial for everyone, those psychological mechanics should be taken into account in the sentencing (or in the time to be served, i mean)
I get Chauvin. Even though his trial was anything but fair. But these 3 dont deserve a prison sentence. Lets be real here. What could they have done? Shove Chauvin in front of the crowd only to escalate the situation?
The young lady that has the presence of mind to document what she understood to be wrong on her phone. Although we will never meet, you have been an inspiration to me. The bystanders, all deserve recognition for their efforts to save their fellow human being.
Officer Tou Thao along the rookies Officer J Alexander Kueng and Officer Thomas Lane, they did not put their knees on George Floyd's neck and even thou the three did not did CPR on him either, however all of three should get charged, also monitored, have probation and community service! The bystander lady aka MPLS/EMT Firefighter Genevieve Hansen could have done it with no problem as helping the situation a bit better, away from Officer Derek Chauvin! But Officer Thao is one of those Asian for the anti-blackness community with toxic masculinity also within the white privilege; I wished he had took the humanity choice to volunteered the off-duty female firefighter Hansen and knowing she was an essential worker that can aid this issue so Floyd would not have died on that day! We need to unify as one and lots of ppl are hurting as still healing from this mess, well thank you Officer Chauvin for showing your true colors of hate and hope the younger/older generations can learn the problems/factors from this case too!
"We were supposed to fight for people that couldn't fight for themselves." -A Few Good Men On why they received a dishonorable discharge on charges of Conduct Unbecoming.
But police are extensively trained to handle stressful and difficult situations, and to make life-or-death situations under pressure. They are more familiar with physical force and its results. They are specially entrusted to enforce the law. So they should get off easier than you or me when they break the law.
Instead of standing there recording a man dying and outcursing each other, someone should have called 911 immediately and pleaded for immediate assistance to save a life. It was obvious that cursing at the officers only made them more belligerent and was wasting precious time.
Hindsight is 20/20. I don't believe a witness there actually understood what was really happening. The execution of a human being right in front of them. 911 was called and when on scene were not allowed to render aid because the officers wanted to make sure he was dead. Next time why not blame all the people who watched the video of his death, makes about as much sense.
I am so grateful to the girl that captured the video. Justice served for Mr. Floyd's family. Amazing how the whole department turned on their fellow colleague just to save face. They are just as bad as him. The only difference is they didn't get caught, yet.
I actually think they told the truth because they are tired of the bull.They have been covering for each other for years.This had to end at some point.It's so sick and with every thing going on with covid it makes it even worst.R.i.p. mr Floyd.
The fact that he was founded guilty on all three counts is a big step. But it is only one step in a broken system. This does not mean the system is magically fixed. Three other officers await trials in this case. Other poc are still receiving improper treatment from police officers. We have so very far to go.

These three are as guilty as that murderer. These three had the power to stop that assault, but instead they remain silent and watched that murderer taking away Flyod’s life.
The way that cops are trained in the academy is more militaristic than something that is equipped to deal with civilians. That's why we have this problem right now.
THESE COPS DID NOT TRY TOO SAVE GEORGE!!! THEY JUST STOOD AROUND AND WATCH THE OTHER COP WITH HIS KNEE ON GEORGE'S NECK AND THROAT WHILE GEORGE COULDN'T BREATH
Sucks they have to be charged too. They tried to get him to stop but he was their superior so they stood down. The law that requires officers to step in when their fellow officers are using excessive force needs to be implemented nationwide. It took a female officer approximately a decade to get that law passed. She never gave up! ❤️
Darnella Frazier's video let the world see what people in some communities have seen for decades. In doing so, she has perhaps helped good and would-be-good cops feel braver about standing up to and standing against jackals who manage to shimmy into uniforms and pin on badges.

From what I’ve read, Chauvin had 17 complaints against him. He should have been terminated as a police officer a long time ago.
At the very least, Chauvin should have been carefully reviewed before the department allowed him to supervise other officers. Tragic all around.
I agree. Basically, the department facilitated this happening.
The prosecution wanted to show the bodycam footage of him choking out a 14 year old that was bleeding from the ear after Chauvin hit him in the head twice with his flashlight. Turns out they didn’t need it to get the conviction but it would have shed some light for the people defending his methods.
And I've read Floyd commited a serious crime just before that arrest. Why he was not in prison? He could be still alive...

I think they felt above the law,and proud of what they were doing. So the video taping did not hamper their actions!! Beasts in human form!!!

The police body cams were essential because they captured the cops' conversations, but none of them showed Chauvin's knee on George Floyd's neck from a decent angle for any length of time. That bystander video was crucial for that reason. Without either, Chauvin would still be a cop.
That Thao maked me so mad
He just tood there allowing Chauvin to murder Floyd
same here I hope he gets the maximum sentence that they can give him, he deserves Life in prison and Chauvin deserves the same he did to George!!! 😡😡
There comes a time when every man gets tested. That's the time when a man should step up and do the right thing, knowing there will be consequences. The moment Floyd said he couldn't breathe was the moment for Thao to break rank and tell Chauvin "That's enough ", and to physically push Chauvin off of Floyd, if need be. He may lose his job as a consequence of such an action, but he would've done the right thing. Unfortunately for Thao, and for Mr. Floyd, Thao failed that test.

He then proceeded to curse me out when I didn't wake him up resulting in overtime. I didn't question someone with so much seniority being a few days into the job.
What happened?
That's such a horrible position that person put you in. Here you are just starting a new job, and they put you in a position of having to loose that job, just to question if what is happening is even right. I would find a new job. When I was 16, I got a job at the subway next to my school. The manager was a bad alcoholic. All three nights I worked there, he took money out of the safe that was located in the middle of the floor. After the third night I never went back. I didn't want to be held responsible for what he was doing, but I was too afraid to tell anyone else, so I just quit.
@@tflowers31 Nothing, but he blamed it on me for being so slow being new and all. When you first start a position you just have to know when to keep your mouth shut.

Officer Lane was the one to tell chauvin to roll him over and the one who found no pulse and chauvin still wouldn't listen. This office did want to do the right thing.
This is not over until a REAL, FAIR sentence is handed down. At minimum the judge better give him something in the middle. If he gives him the minimum for each... then this was another waste and another protection of officers. I'd prefer the maximum, obviously.

My city of Buffalo, NY just passed the Duty to Intervene law which requires officers to intervene in such cases or to also be held accountable for doing nothing. It was named in honor of a Black police officer, Cairol Horne who lost her job about 15 years or so for physically stopping a cop who was doing an illegal chokehold on an arrested man. Just last week after fighting alllllll these years, she was able to get not only her pension but all her back pay. She had been less than a year short of retirement. A hometown hero whose actions helped change problematic policing.

@@mg5632 just had to say something negative " what's wrong ? You don't like the verdict ?"
Lane was a probation officer before for about a year. He wasn't a new rookie like they try to make him out to be. In the end, he went with the bad guys. He went along. Watch his police interview. He avoids saying that George Floyd was saying I can't breath. He was avoiding and skirting around stuff. In the end, he just only cared about himself. So part of his character was showing up in that interview. Shoot, the more he was justifying his actions, the more they were being pointed out like a sore thumb. For instance, they asked, why didn't you just let him sit in the sidewalk like you did before? They asked him, what was your training when it comes to a person in crisis? He said, you talk with them. But when George Floyd was in crisis asking for them to just listen to him, Lane said, we're not going to listen to you because you won't listen to us! Also, he didn't call his supervisor.
Lane gave CPR.
and told Chauvin to stop. He was on the ambulance trying to revive him. It’s not his culpability. He can’t control what somebody else does. It is guilt by association. Thao is guilty.
@@Nannerchan , if Lane thinks he has a case, he should get a lawyer and fight it. Do you remember what the lady in the fire truck said to him regarding the ems team working on Floyd? She said, he, Floyd, should do well if they got to him fast, or the quicker you give cpr, the better the outcome. Right when Kueng said I can't find a pulse and the lights from the ems ambulance reflected off of the squad car was 2 minutes and 36 seconds. Lane's lawyer is going to have to work with that. It's a huge problem.
May this be a lesson learned, never follow and fear a bully coworker. How could they just sit there. I would have pushed Derek off, even if it costed my job. Now they have no job and jail time. WOW! There is a right way, and a wrong way to do everything in life.
Yup, they need some kind of punishment for doing the minimum of only making suggestions.
And evidently Chauvin only weighed 140 lbs (I don't believe that) soooo... could have knocked him off of Floyd easy.
I get the pressure, but a guy was slowly... very slowly killed.

On why they received a dishonorable discharge on charges of Conduct Unbecoming.
He was fighting just fine for himself. It’s why it all started to be fine with, AFTER he broke the law
Thou was the guard dog that stood proud when the murder was happening right before his eyes!
They should get the same sentence as him
If it’s a civilian killing a police it’s usually life or death row.
Right on.
But police are extensively trained to handle stressful and difficult situations, and to make life-or-death situations under pressure. They are more familiar with physical force and its results. They are specially entrusted to enforce the law. So they should get off easier than you or me when they break the law.
Instead of standing there recording a man dying and outcursing each other, someone should have called 911 immediately and pleaded for immediate assistance to save a life. It was obvious that cursing at the officers only made them more belligerent and was wasting precious time.
Amen
Shut up fool
Hindsight is 20/20. I don't believe a witness there actually understood what was really happening. The execution of a human being right in front of them. 911 was called and when on scene were not allowed to render aid because the officers wanted to make sure he was dead. Next time why not blame all the people who watched the video of his death, makes about as much sense.
The Asian officer who was trying to give comedy relief during Floyd's murder _needs_ to be very worried.
He's related to Chauvins (now ex) wife.
I am so grateful to the girl that captured the video. Justice served for Mr. Floyd's family. Amazing how the whole department turned on their fellow colleague just to save face. They are just as bad as him. The only difference is they didn't get caught, yet.
She's grateful too after her go fund me went over $700k
Because f
I actually think they told the truth because they are tired of the bull.They have been covering for each other for years.This had to end at some point.It's so sick and with every thing going on with covid it makes it even worst.R.i.p. mr Floyd.
The fact that he was founded guilty on all three counts is a big step. But it is only one step in a broken system. This does not mean the system is magically fixed.
Three other officers await trials in this case. Other poc are still receiving improper treatment from police officers. We have so very far to go.
Some would say that the lady with the video is on par with the accomplishments of Martin Luther King. you go girl!
I wouldn't go that far
@@BigAlCapwn I would. And, I did. Modern day lady MLK. you go girl!
@@MaoDopamineDong So you're comparing a man who gave his life's work securing civil rights tearing down actual (not proposed) structural racism with a woman who filmed a murder which helped to secure a single (albeit correct) conviction of a police officer....really?
@@BigAlCapwn The crown’s been passed. The torch is hers to march us towards the future.

The police departments need total reform. It just wasn't happening there it was everywhere.

@@pauldee299 It doesn't matter if he's a moron or not - even a broken clock is right twice a day. The point he is making is this: from a black person's perspective in the US, profiled brutality by law enforcement has always gone on... it's just that there weren't cameras so that everyone can see it. The video of Rodney King was the first time many people ever saw it happen, but Rodney King wasn't the first black guy to suffer extreme police brutality.
And anyone who thinks that a trained, tenured law enforcement officer cannot subdue a handcuffed criminal laying on the ground without kneeling on his neck for over 9 minutes, is either a sociopath or hasn't thought the matter through. Three cops and a handcuffed suspect on the ground - if they can't apprehend, arrest and control someone in THAT situation, maybe they shouldn't be cops. They had him - then he was punished.
@@pauldee299 Paul I was amazed that no one officer patted him on the back and said "We got him now"
can you imagine how many times they run that thru their heads saying "I should have just patted him on the back and told him "we got him now"

That statement proves how officers cover up the truth
SHOULD BE NO PLEAS. GEORGE FLOYD DID NOT GET HIS PLEA PLEASE I CAN'T BREATHE
ME AND YOU LMAO
These three are as guilty as that murderer.
These three had the power to stop that assault, but instead they remain silent and watched that murderer taking away Flyod’s life.
A criminal won the jury and destroyed 4 police officers live.
What a nice world we live in!!!...
... and we need more verdicts like this...
As humans we all deserve our day in court.
Agreed
They were inhumane....ergo....inhuman...ergo....they're not owed decency 😡🇬🇧
The way that cops are trained in the academy is more militaristic than something that is equipped to deal with civilians. That's why we have this problem right now.
That's because America has gun problems. Hence you need military level protection if you don't want cops dropping dead like cow poop
They’re also the only institution I know of with an IQ cap for employment.
@@kobinaampah6206 and look where that got us. One dead man and one ex cop in prison.
True. Dealing with an enemy on a battlefield is much different then policing a community of citizens, even if it's a criminal.
Keep those cell phones charged and ready.
Goood they need to be brought to justice
I hope all of those officers get decades
THESE COPS DID NOT TRY TOO SAVE GEORGE!!! THEY JUST STOOD AROUND AND WATCH THE OTHER COP WITH HIS KNEE ON GEORGE'S NECK AND THROAT WHILE GEORGE COULDN'T BREATH
They deserve the same punishment anyone would get for standing by and doing nothing when someone is murdered
By that logic the woman filming it and all the bystanders should go down too
That's right guys buckle up we have three more to go on TRIAL!! IT'S TIME TO ROLL THE CAMERAS!!
These 3 are a perfect example of 99.99% of LEOs in the US. Protect your gang no matter what.
That 17 year old girl had no idea that she was about to cement her place in history!!!
Sucks they have to be charged too. They tried to get him to stop but he was their superior so they stood down. The law that requires officers to step in when their fellow officers are using excessive force needs to be implemented nationwide. It took a female officer approximately a decade to get that law passed. She never gave up! ❤️
Darnella Frazier's video let the world see what people in some communities have seen for decades. In doing so, she has perhaps helped good and would-be-good cops feel braver about standing up to and standing against jackals who manage to shimmy into uniforms and pin on badges.
Salt of the earth cops must purge their ranks of rotten apples. They have pressed their luck for too long now and the citizenry is really angry.
yes it will have to take place from within culture must change
I think the other three officers should go to jail.
