What happened to George Floyd is most definitely a crime. It’s horrendous. On the face of it you’d have to call it murder. I cannot comprehend this cop’s actions. Not at all.
It boggles my mind. The cop should have put Floyd in the cruiser and taken him downtown. Instead, the cop, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on Floyd’s throat for as many as nine minutes. He died soon after being transported to the hospital.
Chauvin has a history of ten complaints.
Chauvin and three other officers were immediately fired. I expect- hope- that the Minnesota AG orders their arrest on whatever charges are appropriate and that they are held accountable.
That being said, there are other things I do not understand.

More video from inside the Target Minneapolis store that was looted last night at the BLM riot. People used shopping carts to stock up on things to steal. A fire was started inside the store as well. #BlackLivesMatter #antifa #GeorgeFloyd https://t.co/lYDBEUQWdx

Nothing says I support George Floyd like rioting, looting Target and burning down the city. This does nothing but harden people who would otherwise be very supportive. One wonder how much sympathy has been extinguished by these criminal actions. Like I said, I cannot comprehend the cop’s action and can’t see a single reason to do as he did, but this is not helpful.
And if true, this is going to leave a mark
In 2006 Amy Klobuchar, then a district attorney, declined to bring charges against a cop who had shot and killed a Native American man.
Two days ago that cop, Derek Chauvin, murdered George Floyd.
Amy Klobuchar needs to resign.

DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
