1. I see a rather large settlement in the near future for this case.

The officers should have already been fired. Alas, no.

8. Well, if it was ONE bad event...

or TWO or THREE...no, it wouldn’t negate 50 good events.

But when it turns into such a repetitive pattern, time after time after time...well, it is what is is, huh?

9. Do you know of 50 positive interactions with cops? Believe me, I would LOVE to learn of them.

Of course we all know that there are such, but, sadly, there are LOTS of the bad ones.

3. Heartbreaking.

Saw this item last night. Found it most upsetting. That the cops had no
Reason apparently to do what they did. It hurt that they would treat a
Serving member like dirt. What made it doubly hurtful,he was an Medic.,
in the highest calling in the military. I hope he sues the cops on a personal
level. Then goes after the FOP and the city.

5. If we can get Chauvin the max sentence and convict the other three officer with stiff prison

sentences it will send a message that if you let a fellow officer violate a persons civil rights you too can go to prison. It won’t stop them all, but if DA’s start really prosecuting cops it will change.

13. Why was this

Even a traffic stop. He was leaving a gas station. What was the reasoning for the stop? Why did the cops feel the neef to have their guns out and aimed?
