    The culpability of all involved and that is far from clear.

    Intent to restrain him yes but none to kill him.

    The University of Minnesota did. It has eliminated most ties to the PD because the PD won't control its thug cops.

    Again, the officer is in a better position to judge this than we can. We have to establish his knowledge and hear his account,

    It is too bad you didn't live in 1820.

    The DA better get a conviction of murder against all four or there will be hell to pay.

    Because obviously justice is all about appeasing the mob rather than doing what is right?

    How? There was no intent and the others played no part.

    You have no idea what the intent was...so it is not reasonable for you to call it unintentional. I was not in his head, eithe,r but anyone should know that 6 minutes was too long and to persist anyway does make it look intentional.

    I honestly believe you're trolling now. Family could be suffering from PTSD,. Their lives are irrevocably damaged and no amount of money compensates for a lost loved one.

    Oh.....and that makes it all okay??? Huh? The City pays out and those Bastards get to walk to do that again.

    Why did those Bastards call the Ambulance? When did that bloke die? Where did he die? Did I watch him die? What did he die of?

    So the next time an illegal kills an American I can burn and loot?

    Cool. I’m getting that 75” TV I’ve wanted for a long time. And my son needs a new refrigerator.

    Yes and I was just drawing comparison to outrageous assertion that no one should care if Target is looted by black rioters because they have insurance.

    1. No, I was drawing an allusion to the outrageous remarks that no one should care about Target being looted by black rioters because they have insurance.

    2, And this is what remains to be seen but people are leaping to conclusions,

    Sorry, when you have a knee on a man's neck and he is telling you he can't breath and you don't let up, that is not a freakin accident.
