The FBI is investigating the death of George Floyd, black man who was pinned on the neck by a police officer and later died in custody. Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison joins The Beat with Ari Melber’s breaking coverage on the latest from the FBI and the protests. While the officers involved have yet to be charged, Ellison argues a “quick arrest” might “make people feel better about justice” it is “important” for investigators to “take the time to make sure that these charges, if they are brought forward, stick.

    There is an epigram ( I am giving myself some latitude using the word) that, students of food are introduced to when starting out in the field. It is about a fly which has some how managed to gain entrance to to the processing area ( maybe some one did not closed the door correctly). The fly keeps buzzing around one’s head despite several attempts to swat it. Such a fly is said to have a nuisance value. You fit the description of a fly which has a nuisance value ( in addition to being a pompous ass who thought he was the brightest spark on the block ,only to discover else wise).

    ‘How did someone end up dying?’: Family of black Toronto woman allege officers ‘threw’ her off balcony

    The family of 29-year-old, Regis Korchinski-Paquet sounded the alarm after Toronto Police Service classified the death of their loved one as a suicide. Korchiniski-Paquet died after falling from the 24th floor of her apartment in High Park on Wednesday, but the family insists the young woman was killed and did not commit suicide.

    “The police killed my daughter, came in my apartment and shoved her off the building,” alleged Claudette Korchinski-Beals, mother of the victim in a video making the rounds on social media.

    NOT ONE RH LOCAL POLICE OFFICER INVOLVED ARRESTED OR CONVICTED.

    How am I playing the victim? Am I playing the victim by stating that I expect to be unpopular for stating my position and knowing in advance what the reaction would be? You post verified what I expected. i do not believe in following the herd. I think for myself and am capable of dealing with views different from my own. You have your views and their differ from mine.

    You seem to lose your cool very easily. The operative statement in my post pertains to the fact that the rioters are perpetrating looting on members of their own community. I said that such actions should be reflected on. If they want to riot and burn down properties, surely ,should they not be doing so against their oppressors?

    Also, I try to avoid conversations about race in the US on BU because it tend to take a strange twist.

    As the father of a young black male, I always worry about him. But when I examine the risk/benefits I prefer that he takes his chances here.

    According to Pachamama:

    Every time an Afrikan American is ruthlessly murdered by a racist national police force of the USA we can rely on dutiful cunts like ROBERT LUCAS et al to talk about a so-called Black-on-Black crime phenomenon as if Black people are genetically predisposed to killing other Blacks.

    Our histories are replete with ass-licking, boot-licking, Uncle Toms like Robert Lucas

    He continues his canard… despite our offering that about 90 percent of Whites murdered happen as White-on-White crime. And that the statistic is not statistically different for Afrikan-American. Yet he continues with his blood libel against Black people.

    LUCAS is incapable of seeing a world with White-on-White crime.

    Lucas is capable of making claims against Muslims, Hindus and everybody else who is non-White but NEVER against White people

    We are therefore forced to conclude that ROBERT LUCAS and his fellow travelers are modern day negroes whose very existence depends on hatred of self and an uncompromising obeisance to White anti-human thinking. He therefore is well worthy of death from their continuing thought crimes against Black people.

    @David,

    interesting read of the complaint and charges. the officer pointed a gun at Floyd, after asking him out of the car dragged him out, handcuffed him and then told him what the incident was all about. handcuffing a suspect is a technical arrest, at least in the UK.

    was the complaint genuine? was the 20 indeed counterfeit?

    the remainder re FLoyd informing them he was claustrophobic and the following reaction not to mention not rolling him on his back as suggested by one of the officer is quite alarming

    I FIND THIS VERY INTERESTING

    According to a report from The Guardian, however, Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar had a chance to prosecute Derek Chauvin, the police officer at the center of this gruesome incident – but declined to do so.

    Klobuchar who was a state prosecutor at the time, ignored previous conduct complaints against the officer. “Between 1999 and 2007, Klobuchar, the state’s then top prosecutor, declined to press charges against more than a dozen officers accused of killing civilians,” The Guardian reported.

    To make matters worse a local news outlet reported that Chauvin “had 18 prior complaints filed against him with the Minneapolis Police Department’s Internal Affairs.”

    The Washington Post highlighted another racially charged case that Klobuchar declined to bring charges in that involved the death of 44-year-old Christopher Burns, an unarmed black man, who died after he was put in a choke hold by law enforcement officers who were responding to a domestic violence call.

    “The focus of the community’s anger was Amy Klobuchar, the up-and-coming attorney of Hennepin County, who had declined to prosecute police accused of using excessive force against black suspects,” The Washington Post reported. “At the same time, she aggressively prosecuted smaller offenses such as vandalism and routinely sought longer-than-recommended sentences, including for minors.”

    NOW THIS IS A REALLY DUMB AND STUPID COMMENT.

    HAVING LIVED PREVIOUSLY IN THE USA FOR OVER 15 YEARS I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED LIKE A DOG AND NO ONE THAT I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WHO IS BLACK, ASIAN OR HISPANIC HAVE EVER VENTED THOSE SENTIMENTS IN HOW THEY FELT TREATED.

    I HAVE SEEN WHITE PEOPLE BEING TREATED IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE WITH MANY BEING HOMELESS.

    I WONDER IF WHEN BLACKS DEMONIZE AND BRUTALIZE EACH OTHER IN BARBADOS WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, normality.

    Agreed, David, that “justice must be served”.

    I expect that the third degree murder charge and the manslaughter charge is a crumb, a sop if you will, to appease those who are seriously concerned and who riot as a direct result of their frustration at the delays in prosecuting Chauvin and the other rogue police for Floyd’s Murder.

    The charges against Chauvin so far, are, in my opinion, intended to derail the protests and prevent more rioting. … buying time. If convicted, the maximum sentences – 25 years and 10 years – might also be made to run concurrently by some Judge.

    However, we should have confidence in Fmr Congressman, and current Minnesota A.G, Keith Ellison, an intelligent and progressive individual.

    Finally, we should never trivialize the murder of innocents. Thus, George Floyd was and is presumed innocent, both at the time of his murder, and thereafter.

    We must therefore forego and ignore the ludicrous and insensitive chatter by some who really ought to know better in such tragic matters of life and death and murdered innocence.

    Know that I do not countenance or condone murder in any way, shape or fashion.

    However, as concerns Fmr. P.O Chauvin, perhaps some kindly fellow inmate will probe him with an ice pick in the left side of his chest (no vital organs there) some future day. Or, not unlike the inmate who iced Jeffrey Dahmer, and others. But, then again, Chauvin might be insulated, like many a crooked cop, by his fellow confederates, from the fate he so richly deserves.

    @David BU from what i understand it was confusion where he should actually be while reporting and the arresting officer was “following orders” . He was reporting from where the police were positioned.
    Also a prelim autopsy report said that Floyd did not die directly from Chavins’ “knee” . If this is true the officer MAY not be CONVICTED for murder but manslaughter. This is why investigations take time, it is the same reason why the other 3 officers are not charged and arrested at this point. Apparently Floyd and Chauvin also worked at the same place before so they possibly knew each other; another spin in this case

    why was he being restrained? was a crime established that was arrestable? is a mere complaint a crime?

    isnt placing a knee to the neck (for 9 minutes 2 of which was after Floyd stop breathing) even if it was the primary cause of death against departmental policy along with placing a suspect on his stomach?

    all of that notwithstanding, wrt pre exiting conditions, have you ever heard of the eggshell skull rule in criminal law?

    Also some people on this blog wants to muddle “regular crime” with “racially motivated crime” along with “racially motivated crime perpetuated by LAW enforcers” along with “racially motivated crime perpetuated by White LAW enforcers on minorities in Trumps’ America”. All are WRONG but are perceived differently especially in a country that has a less than rosy past with racism (to put it tamely)

    Baje. U r an ass

    I do not condone any police brutality in any country

    What u want us to protest about the what u call police brutality in Barbados is lacking in evidence.

    Where is ur evidence to lock up or protest the officers u said push the guy over the cliff. Or the one at oistins did u see the the reported causes of death?

    The recent deaths in USA that action was taken again police/ whites that kill blacks were mostly because of video evidence

    They have been doing it and getting away with it until now everyone got cameras

    So again. Where is ur evidence fir the cases in Barbados. You ass

    Untill you get some it is just ur opinion

    If I remember correctly. They were a cop/s that had dont something wrong in bim that was caught on camera I think there was an investigation into the matter. But I cannot remember what had happen or the outcome

    Ps

    Speaks fir youself. I can tell of having two officers pulling me over after midnight with guns drawn. Asking form my license and insurance Then to finally tell me that one of my head lights was out. Guess what color were the cops.
