COMMUNITY Social Justice Thread: R.I.P. George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor & now Tyre Nichols


A decision has been made on additional charges for officers in George Floyd case By Josh Campbell and Sara Sidner, CNN Updated Jun 3, 2020 (CNN) -

The Minnesota Attorney General's office has finished its initial review of evidence in the investigation of four former Minneapolis Police officers involved in the killing of George Floyd and has rendered a decision regarding additional charges, two law enforcement officials briefed on the state's investigation told CNN. One of the officials said state Attorney General Keith Ellison will be making a significant announcement in the case early this afternoon.


The officials would not reveal what the decision was. Three now-former officers can be seen on video on top of Floyd during his killing on May 25. Derek Chauvin, who had his knee pressed into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degre manslaughter.

Former officers Thomas Lane and J.A. Keung, who helped restrain Floyd, and a fourth former officer, Tou Thao, who stood near the others, have not yet been charged. Two autopsies of Floyd determined that he died by homicide.

The Minneapolis Police chief fired the officers and said they were "complicit" in Floyd's death, and Floyd's family and protesters have called for all of the officers to be arrested and convicted for the killing. Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Floyd family, told CNN Wednesday that he is confident the other officers will be charged before Thursday's public memorial in Minneapolis. "I am confident that these officers will be charged before people in Minneapolis say their final goodbyes to George Floyd, may he rest in peace," he said.
 
Aunty look like she ready to tell somebody about themselves
Not to bust your bubble but at this point we have to beware of any propped up black people put in positions of power.... look at Judge Tammy the Mammy Kemp. A complete coon and sell out. We have to wait to see how she moves...
 
How many ppl believe the other officers will be charged and the original charges are upped?
 
I think they'll just be charged as accessories. The chief said he believed they should be charged with the same crime, but if they were going to do that, they probably would have announced it already.
Maybe their telling all the Governors so that they can get their major cities to brace themselves
 
Not charging the other officers would be pouring gas on a fire, they need to be charged and the charges need to have weight to them.

But if Chauvin only got 3rd degree is manslaughter the best we can hope for?
 
Those 2 are prime examples of white privilege. In 2014 or 2015 they got fired for making some fucked up comments from a station in that area and were hired 4 months later by the station that just fired them.
Ooh that was them? I remember that. They need to just take their klan show to YouTube. They're not fit for mainstream radio
