Protesters clash with Minneapolis cops after George Floyd’s death in police custody

[RBP]

i'm still shocked that they basically abandoned the precinct to the mob last night, almost like a sacrificial offering

I was shocked at that also.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

They arrested the cop that had the guy pinned with his knee.

[Griffin]

They should have done that days ago.

They arrested the cop that had the guy pinned with his knee.

He was charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. Seems a little on the light side if you ask me.

[DemonGeminiX]

Minnesota law originally defined third-degree murder solely as depraved-heart murder ("without intent to effect the death of any person, caus[ing] the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life"). In 1987, an additional drug-related provision ("without intent to cause death, proximately caus[ing] the death of a human being by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule I or II") was added to the definition of third-degree murder. Up until the early 2000s, prosecutions under that provision were rare, but they began to rise in the 2010s. Some reports linked this increase in prosecutions to the opioid epidemic in the United States.

Minnesota law also defines the crime of third-degree murder of an unborn child, with the same elements of depraved mind and lack of intent to kill distinguishing it from first- or second-degree murder of an unborn child. Both third-degree murder and third-degree murder of an unborn child are punishable by a maximum of 25 years' imprisonment. On 29 May 2020, ex-police officer Derek Chauvin was arrested and charged with third degree murder in the death of an African American George Floyd in Minneapolis

We still have no idea what's on the body and dash cam footage though. All we have seen is street footage. There's a big gap in that footage. There's a reason they went past the cop car next to them and went across the street.
I'm not justifying what the cop did but I believe the crowds played a bigger role than we've seen from them.
