Lane had been on the job for 4 days, says article

1. At the very LEAST: "Fuck this noise, this ain't what...

I signed up for!” as he threw his badge and gun in the cop car and walked off.

That is the LEAST you could have done and retained your soul.

2. Sounds like a good suggestion

So I assume he was one of the three directly involved in holding Floyd down. One of those pigs besides Chauvin sat on Floyd's back which affected the ability to breathe and contributed to the murder.

[Demovictory9]

8. yes, he was one of two behind the car, holding him down

[Iggo]

3. Yes. (n/t)

[Caliman73]

4. Yes. That would be the correct answer.

He may have been on the job with that department for 4 days but likely he had come out of POST somewhere so he knew that the restraint was against police protocols.

We know that police culture can be toxic and that is the problem. All 3 of the other officers should have been telling the racist POS to knock the shit off and respect the suspect's rights. There should never have been an incident in the first place.

7. he's got gray hair... looks to be about age 35 to 45... so old enough to speak up, not a 20 year old

[Blue Owl]

5. Um... HELL YEAH tell him to get the fuck off!!! JFC...

[Nevilledog]

6. Isn't Chauvin's bail only $500k?

[sarisataka]

11. It has been upped

to a million

[Nevilledog]

12. Missed that. Thanks.

[gratuitous]

9. Why not?

The bystanders were saying that. But they didn't have guns or badges to back up their request.

[sarisataka]

10. Well looking at it that way,

Yeah, that is what he was supposed to do

[kcr]

13. Um, yeah.

[RockRaven]

14. Yes. And you just admitted implicitly that he failed to do so.

That was not well done.

[crickets]

24. *ding!* Exactly. nt

[Skittles]

15. I would have said that as a CIVILIAN

if I heard someone saying I CAN'T BREATHE

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. Any civilized human would have.

[TruckFump]

17. YES!!!!! And if he didn't....

...then pull the motherfucker off!!!!

[MerryBlooms]

18. Doesn't think he'll be found guilty, thinks the fix is in, otherwise why say something so stupid?

[NightWatcher]

19. Just like this cop did!!

Don't know when or where this is from but here's it done.

20. Didn't one of them say something like, "Shouldn't we roll him over on his side."

Not much, but it’s all the defense has for the two rookies.

[mascarax]

21. Yes, that was Lane

Who said it to Chauvin.

[Hoyt]

23. That will probably help him, but I bet he might question his career choice.

Considering he had been on job 4 days, he might be a good officer given a chance. A lot of military and police are taught not to question those in charge. Lane’s suggestion was kind of timid, but more than a lot of new recruits would do (not talking SHOULD do).

[roamer65]

22. From the mugshots, Lane seems to have some look of remorse.

I have a feeling he will get manslaughter.

The others don’t have that remorseful look.

[Crunchy Frog]

25. Yes.

[greyl]

26. On the job 4 days, but how much time had he spent in training?

TRAINING.
