Thankfully the 4 cops have been fired: https://www-fox9-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.fox9.com/news/4-minneapolis-police-officers-fired-following-death-of-george-floyd-in-police-custody.amp?usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D&amp_js_v=0.1#aoh=15905220756898&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox9.com%2Fnews%2F4-minneapolis-police-officers-fired-following-death-of-george-floyd-in-police-custody.amp%23aoh%3D15905220756898%26referrer%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%26amp_tf%3DFrom%2520%25251%2524s

However I think "getting fired" is hardly punishment for murdering a man. The guy who had his knee on the suspect (suspected of forgery btw) should go to jail for a decade or two, at least. This is very much still ongoing and not resolved.

That cellphone clip was fucked up, for 7 minutes, kneeling on his carotid arteries. That cop had to know he was killing the guy, no one is that stupid.

By the end of this year, we're not gonna have enough fingers to point at each other with.

State police. And city police. Either way, they both work for a corporation. They are "Legal" henchmen and don't even know it.

Pretty crazy how people don't seem to mind the fact that your house being robbed or broken into can require up to an hour for a police response, maybe more. Why isn't it the same with banks?
