I believe he's been charged with murder in the 4th degree, which is also known as involuntary manslaughter, which, in short is a death that results from a lack of intention to cause death, however involves an intentional or negligent act leading to the death.

I think it will be fairly easy for that to be proven to be the case, as the complete lack of compassion for the man he was restraining was at a minimum negligent.
Not sure what protection he will get under the fact he was "doing his job" - albeit extremely poorly. Will there be something they hide behind in terms of he wasn't adequately trained to handle the situation? I suspect they will try and find something to get him off.

As for the victim himself, I heard he was being investigated for fraudulent purchases. Something along the lines of handed over a $10 and pretended it was a $20 when he paid for his groceries. Some claim it was a mistake by him, police are saying they were investigating. Kinda **** up if he's dead and it wasn't him, or even if it was, and it was just a fact of him grabbing the wrong note out of his wallet.

Just announced the cop involved in the death won’t faces charges

Been arrested and charged with murder another 3 to be arrested as well

all the riots couldve been avoided if they did this 3 days ago.
I still have a feeling he has only been charged to keep the masses happy and in a few weeks or months time the charges will be dropped

Isn't murder an Intentional act to kill?
Wouldn't manslaughter be a more appropriate charge? Surely this cop didn't intentionally kill him ?

In South Australia, it's murder where the accused intended to kill, or cause grievous bodily harm, or acted with reckless indifference to the life of the victim. I.e. it can consist of something slightly less than an intent to kill.

In other jurisdictions the situation is similar, although in some American jurisdictions there are different 'degrees' of the offence.

The officer in Minnesota had his leg on the neck of the deceased for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

Perhaps it's a stretch to say with certainty that he intended to kill; I think though the footage shows the officer at least intended serious harm to the victim and/or was recklessly indifferent as to whether he survived.

The guy pleaded to be released, and was unconscious for the last three minutes, and still the officer didn't get up.

That's why he's been charged with murder. Maybe it's not first degree, and of course more information about the circumstances of the death may well come out, but to me the footage suggests a murder charge is not unreasonable.

What a horrible way to die, put the cop in jail and let the inmates have their way with him.

I thought he was busted using a counterfeit $20 note.
Horrible way to die and hopefully the 4 other cops that were helping to pin him down face trial aswell

[Dutchy]

Anyone seen the video when the ambulance arrived? The officer took his knee of his neck, they rolled him onto a stretcher and bundled him into the ambulance, no attempt to resuscitate or provide medical treatment at all. Id like to know the explanation for that.

Yeah thats what i heard too. Who would know if they are passing a counterfeit note anyway. Hardly your fault if you end up with one randomly.
I did hear a report that the cop that killed him has 12 previous complaints for heavy handed behaviour in 19 years of being a policeman. Sounds like he shouldve been kicked out of the job alot earlier. Looks like a real arrogant typical copper

Im normally really good at handling graphic videos but the entire video makes me feel sick in the stomach.

The human race and society is ****** at the moment.

I hope the police officer gets a life time in jail and doesn't somehow find a loop hole. I heard he has engaged a lawyer who has previously been really successful getting police officers off cases similar to this.

The only hope i have is this is the wake up call that we will not tolerate that bullshit to any human anymore.

Ps. I believe 99.9% of police officers do an amazing job and i support them in having the means to be physical with people when required. This was not one of those cases and was completely unwarranted.

And as for all the rioters looting and burning down buildings and businesses that have nothing to do at all with the incident, well it sort of tells me that society is pretty well screwed

DIdn't take long for Trump to turn the US into a Failed State. The shooting at and arresting of reporters sums up where that country is right now.

I think the US were down this path long before Trump got there.
He definitely hasn’t helped but they have been a basket case for years

[mighty_tiger_79]

He has deliberately been stoking the flames of white nationalism and encouraging violence toward the media. Having the police fire upon and arrest the media is a key feature of a tin pot dictatorship.
