    Thanks, what I don't like is that one of the speakers made some kind of comment that "I'm expecting charges on the other three before we get to the Memorial this afternoon".

    I'm HOPING that he meant "expecting" in the sense that he had inside information that charges were forthcoming, rather than an implied demand that "there BETTER be".

    And, there's a discussion about how there's a difference between what the other officers did (suggesting it stop) and what they did NOT do (actively intervene).

    Finally, I believe Minnesota's AG is going to push for changes to reflect more on demanding "proactive intervention" from other officers, rather than simply accepting passive intervention (for lack of a better way of saying it).
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    • Did somebody post here about a cop using that exact same position and bystanders yelled so much his partner actually looked around, and removed the knee off the suspect?

        Don't remember seeing that. I'm betting Lane which he had done that rather than just asking questions or making suggestions.

          No no...I read a report about a similar incident elsewhere and can't recall where.

          • Meanwhile, have we heard ANYTHING from the Police Chief? He's the guy who's ultimately responsible for the training and conduct of his officers, and the "company culture" of the Department.

              Yeah, got that.... and just saying that I bet Lane wishes he had thought of that! All he did was ask questions and make suggestions - he SHOULD have acted!

                Seattle. I never ended up hearing about a follow up. That incident ended up getting overshadowed by a different incident this weekend involving that same department.

                      Ok. It doesn't look identical but could be the angle. But yeah his partner really dragged the knee off. If it were me I'd be yelling at him later.

                        I think Floyd resisted arrest and being put in the police car and they had to wrestle him to the ground. Chauvin, was probably angry at having to fight him and took it out on him while he was on the ground.

                          • This from the BBC tonight:

                            New charges have been announced against all of the sacked police officers present at the death of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis.

                            The charge against Derek Chauvin has been elevated to second-degree murder, court documents show.

                            The other three officers face counts of aiding and abetting murder, the documents state.

                              He was inside the car already. Chauvin yanked him out to the ground.
