The murderer has been arrested.
Apparently he's being held in protective custody, rather than having been arrested...

Yes, they are as entitled to a fair trial as anyone else. I’m just kind of tired of people making excuses for them; the looters and the arsonists are simnot victims.
I’m just trying to follow the things here. Person A commits a crime against Person B. Person C feels outraged and steals a TV. The two criminals here are A and C. The only victim is B.
Fair point! Still would argue the looters and rioters aren’t very good citizens to begin with, and I suppose it’s good for all of us they aren’t in command of anything more than street violence.
You have an overactive imagination re: my motivations.
What of yours will you burn? Sorry, you can’t loot yourself since that’s a zero-sum game.
Edit: bungled the quote tags, twice, and clarified a sentence
I certainly support his firing at the very least. His jailing, that’s for the courts to decide and he should be given a fair trial. Based on what I know now, I would vote for conviction.
But the crimes you said in your post were for instigating arson, which is a stretch. Instigating arson would be going out and telling people to burn down buildings.
Nothing to hide! I’m anti-bum and pro-worker. The looters and rioters are bums; the people that work for a living aren’t going out and smashing windows and stealing stuff.
As a general rule, people in the productive ranks of society do not go around ransacking businesses and start buildings on fire.
As evidence, I would like to cite the entire history of civilized society.
Well, let’s get the names of these model citizens, upright and outstanding members of society, so that we can pin medals on them for their liberation of a shopping cart of Ding Dongs and Ho Hos. For they are the real heroes.
burning down a police building seems perfectly fine as a protest. I personally have. A thing about property destruction but as things continue to deteriorate and billionaires continue to print money for themselves I am more and more coming to @Phrossack and @Lexicus ’s conclusions that violence is inevitable.
how much of this is sustainable? How can you justify this? All the electronic distraction in the world is not going to spare the wrath of the beaten and hungry.
"We are so angry about police brutality and indifference we are going to riot."Nevermind that people probably weren't looting out of choice, but more likely because they could NEVER afford some of those items and out of necessity when it comes to food, but Amadeus thinks these people are bums, so that tells you all you need to know about his politics.
"Let's trash a public library and loot a Target. That'll show them!"
I understand totally. They want TV, they take TV.
Now that the police are busy dealing with everything else going on, the risk:reward ratio has dropped to the point where the would-be thieves become just regular thieves.
The police officer has apparently been charged with third-degree murder. Apparently that means no intent to kill?
What a laugh.
FWIW, based on what some of my lawyer friends have said (who practice in Minnesota), the conduct shown in the video doesn't rise to intent for statutory purposes. Acting recklessly and with extreme indifference isn't intent.The police officer has apparently been charged with third-degree murder. Apparently that means no intent to kill?
What a laugh.
Should release him to the mob already. Even if they put him in prison, he won't even last 2 weeks. People in prison actually have morals and principles and aren't that fond of pigs...Apparently he's being held in protective custody, rather than having been arrested...

I too put a body's weight of pressure on a man's neck without considering any consequences despite years of training. Could happen to anyone, even despite multiple repeated protestations from the man whose neck I was kneeling on.just asking, who here thinks he intended to kill the man?
I think it was to inflict injury but not to kill. (but I wasn't there)
Still think drastic punishment is required.
