mypeez : If they're wrong then they should be fired or disciplined. But we won't know that until an investigation is done.
 
@starbound64 : If we're not ready to keep our house clean, ... it may catch on fire (2:10). What is old, is what is still the same.

@billybob : Yes, I just got an email alert regarding this. Glad he was arrested and an investigation can now take place and he can be punished accordingly.

George Floyd, a black man whose death Monday sparked ongoing protests and Derek Chauvin, identified by local media as the officer who was videotaped kneeling on Floyd's neck for minutes shortly before his death,
 
...
 
Chauvin "sometimes had a real short fuse," Santamaria told ABC5. "He seemed afraid when there was an altercation. He always resorted to pulling out his mace and pepper spraying everyone right away, even when I felt it was unwarranted."

@ClaudeK : Rocks on the road. "Two young cops handing out a beating, know how to hurt and leave no mark."

Interesting hypocrisy here:
 
The wife of fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was once charged with writing a bad check for $42. Chauvin's wife Kellie, a former Mrs. Minnesota pageant winner, was charged with writing the bad check in 2005, before she was with Chauvin. Multiple letters were sent to her home chasing the money and when she finally paid, a criminal case was dismissed. In a 2018 interview about her pageant bid, Kellie said her husband was "a softie" under his police uniform and a "gentleman" who opened the door for her.

Lots of raised eyebrows and jaw s dropping that his bond is only set at $500,000. People were expecting a higher amount.

well, he is innocent until proven guilty and probably not a rich man based on the fact he's a cop.

Fired on appearances? The coroner reported no trauma. Stating an underlying heart condition and intoxication as the cause of death.

Yes, I remember from history books the peaceful way the colonists talked with King George to gain independence.
