| George Floyd had ‘violent criminal history’: Minneapolis police union chief |
| 2020-06-03 |
| [NYPost] The head of the Minneapolis police union says George Floyd’s "violent criminal history" needs to be remembered and that the protests over his death are the work of a "terrorist movement." "What is not being told is the violent criminal history of George Floyd. The media will not air this," police union president Bob Kroll told his members in a letter posted Monday on Twitter. Floyd had landed five years behind bars in 2009 for an assault and robbery two years earlier, and before that, had been convicted of charges ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs, the Daily Mail reported. Floyd died last week after a white cop kneeled on the 46-year-old black man’s neck for nearly 9 minutes, a shocking incident that was caught on video and is sparking widespread violent protests, including in New York City. Floyd had allegedly just tried to pass a phony $20 bill before he died. |

| #20 Prediction: Now that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has taken over the case, he will over-charge the perps. This will get the Dem base fired up twice - first time when Ellison piles on various layers of murder and mopery, the second when a jury acquits the cops on the excessive charges. |

| #19 I know i'm simply terrible for saying this, but apart from the series of events catalyzed by his demise, I'm not sorry he's dead. In light of what's happened, we'd be better if he hadn't been killed, but I won't pretend to miss him. |

| #18 How would you like to be on that jury, knowing that if you acquit, today's riots look like a Sunday school picnic. It won't matter what the evidence shows, or what the prosecutor and defense attorneys say. This will be a case of "Bring the guilty bastard in. We'll give him a fair trial before we hang him." |

| #14 Floyd would have probably had the heart attack if he was tasered, but why wasn't that the next step? |

| #13 Since Chauvin reportedly came around the back of the vehicle and deposited Floyd along the rear wheel well, I presume he was being a problem while being belted it , and since the days of a hickory shampoo to quell bad behavior are long gone, was using the knee/ neck alternative to the famous LAPD choke hold to lower the perps consciousness level. Clearly it went south from there. |

| #11 ...Michael M. Baden (born July 27, 1934[1]) is an American physician and board-certified forensic pathologist known for his work investigating high-profile deaths and as the host of HBO's Autopsy.[2] Baden was the chief medical examiner of the City of New York from 1978 to 1979, but was removed from his position by New York City Mayor Ed Koch, after Koch had received complaints about his work.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Baden then took the same position a few miles away in Suffolk County, but was dismissed for allegedly making inappropriate comments about how to commit the perfect murder.[5][12][13][6] The decision to let him go was rescinded shortly thereafter, as the circumstances of his alleged comments were unclear, but Baden chose to leave the position nonetheless.[13] He has been hired to conduct private autopsies in a number of cases, including the shooting of Michael Brown |

| #9 /\ Fotos/video show he was in the police car, then moments later he was on the pavement. I can't believe the police put him in the backseat of a squad, attempted to buckle him in (standard procedure), then decided to remove him in order to put him on the pavement and asphyxiate him. Something missing here. |

| #8 Floyd's history is not relevant, counterfeiting is not a death penalty crime and we are not mega-city one where cops get to kill people for petty crimes. He deserved a court of law. Trump should be looking into banning police unions as they work to keep bad actors on the force. Trump should also develop a program that promotes minorities becoming cops in minority communities. Not sure how to work that but they should look into it. Clearly having minority police chiefs and mayors has not helped as they are socialist idiots, but if you had enough black cops they would be seen differently by those communities even if policing was the same. |

| #5 I suspect the guy who wrote the Hamilton broadway mess is feverishly working on a musical about Floyd. |

| #4 From what I can ascertain, clearly a Public Service Homicide (PSH). |
