    Wow. She’s ok with police brutality.

    She probably wouldn’t get the VP offer anyway because she’s not black. But this is the nail in her coffin.

    Well the headline would be

    REPUBLICAN Amy Klobuchar didn’t prosecute officer at center of George Floyd’s death

    And then gone on with

    "Before she became a REPUBLICAN senator and a top contender for former Vice President Joe Biden's vice presidential spot, REPUBLICAN Klobuchar spent eight years as the Hennepin County attorney, in charge of prosecution for Minneapolis. And while in that position, REPUBLICAN Klobuchar declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force, and did not prosecute the officer who kneeled on Floyd's neck as he protested, The Guardian reports."

    Joe thinks "She ain't black enough"... not that he is racist or anything.

    Unsurprising, White people have lagged on condemning police brutality. Probably ended her shot at VP.

    You funny

    The case was under investigation when Klobuchar took office in the Senate in January 2007, and later went to a grand jury, which declined to charge the officers.

    Hubert Humphrey also didn't do anything about this officer, being dead for 30 years or so...

    On her watch as they say and she was already accused of being too "pro police". She's done and probably sitting at home on the floor with her bottle of vodka rocking back and forth.

    She might not end up being the VP pick, but she's most certainly not "done"....

    Technically, this was on the watch of George Walker Bush....

    Klobuchar is one of the meanest politicians in DC. As a prosecutor, she had no qualms about throwing black kids in jail.
    If she is Bidens pick, this will become a major issue for her to explain.

    White people condemn it when it should be condemned. They also condemn crime, a condemnation lacking in the black community.

    Technically it wasn't. He had no jurisdiction.

    Police shot and killed 25 people and four people died in custody while Klobuchar was the chief prosecutor of Minnesota's largest county. She sent all but one case to a grand jury and none were charged.

    A review of the deaths found that a majority were not controversial. But there were at least two instances in which families and activists questioned Klobuchar's decision to present the cases to a grand jury.

    My suggestion to all my conservative foils on here would be to pick the Biden VP candidate they hate LEAST.... then hope that's the pick because she will likely be their VP....
