On the plus side, they fired the cops. On the minus side, our county attorney is worthless and probably won't charge them with anything. And the police union is going to drag the whole firing/arbitration process out for at least a year.
I admit I find cops in Canada less terrifying than cops in the USA, And I forgot where I was going with this preamble so:
The WPS does not own a “tank". A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat. The vehicle you see is called an Armored Rescue Vehicle (ARV). It is used to ensure the safety of our officers and members of the public whose lives may be at risk. https://t.co/AoQZoAmLfU
We're 12 blocks east of the intersection that was the epicenter for this. They looted Target and a bunch of stores, smashed a lot of windows, and burned down an auto
parts store, a Wendy's, and what was going to be affordable housing.
Now there's reports of looting across the river in St. Paul and in a couple of suburbs. This has been building up for a long time.
I'm fine, far away from the action, but really, really tired.

It is Democrats that want black men unarmed so that they can not defend themselves against a tyrannical government authority that kills them on a public street, in broad daylight, in front of a street full of witnesses. Talk about institutional racism... This goes back to reconstruction.
If he had defended himself with a gun, you would ignored he was black, and railed against gun violence in the USA.

They did murder in front of many witnesses. Not sure how anything other than them being in jail, charged with murder, is a positive outcome.

The most notorious of the pigs was arrested yesterday and charged with third-degree murder:
Quote:
Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.
And second-degree manslaughter:
Quote:
A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:
(1) by the person's culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; . . .
It appears the other pigs involved in this killing remain free.
Now that one of the cops is under arrest, the "He was no angel" smearing of Mr. Floyd can commence in earnest and continue right up until Piggington P. McPiggerpig's inevitable acquittal.
vremya, does the family have any viable recourse under Minnesota civil law, or will they be consigned to navigating the 42 U.S.C. § 1983 minefield?
