Derek Chauvin, the police officer who murdered George Floyd, was arrested.
This is not enough. We have much further to go — including swift, independent prosecution conducted by the Attorney General's office.
The fight to dismantle a violent, oppressive system has just begun. https://t.co/46o1tx0Cqo

George Floyd pleaded for his life, but police officer Derek Chauvin took it away and it is right that he has been arrested for this murder. Justice for George and his loved ones can be served with this first step and the steps that follow to hold those responsible accountable.

President Trump has already asked for a legal opinion as to whether he can issue a pardon to Chauvin and is awaiting a response from Attorney General William Barr. Trump is considering an executive order which would allow a president to issue pardons for state crimes, which would permanently alter the constitution.

Trump has also said he plans to send National Guard troops under his own command to Minneapolis to kill civilians, another act that would require operating outside of constitutional law and, in particular, the Insurrection Act of 1807 as reaffirmed by Congress in 2008.
NEW: Family of George Floyd:
“[Arrest of] Derek Chauvin for the brutal killing of George Floyd is a welcome but overdue step on the road to justice. We expected a first-degree murder charge. We want a first-degree murder charge. And we want to see the other officers arrested. pic.twitter.com/gC2P16lE99

As an outsider looking in, this is just another visible sign of the breakdown of American society. For decades, to justify, America’s worldwide ” genocide for profit “, American citizens were indoctrinated that they were “exceptional and indispensible”and that human life (except their own) was a valueless commodity…remember Albright, 500,000 Iraqi childrens’ death was worth it ! Well you reap what you sow, you’ve now decending into an amoral, satanic cesspit and I doubt that there’s enough honest upright people to pull you back from that abyss…well certainly not amongst your unrepentant and unreformable slime, posing as politicans !
is this the straw that will finally break the camels back…?
Always the go to source for on the ground reporting at what is being called an Uprising,
is Unicorn Riot,….this is 5 hours of the interviews with protestors,…and on scene stuff.

or just Unicorn Riot on YT or facebook or twitter
very unified crowd from what I see, it’s not as much of a race thing, as a police brutality thing.
3rd precinct breached and lit at 1:15:00
Chauvin looked startled and scared when he saw that he was being video recorded by a citizen. He’s a cowardly dog who deserves death for that.
2018 and 2019 both had about 1,000 people shot and killed by police, so that’s 2,000 in the last 2 years.
By contrast in the longest war in US history, in Afghanistan 2018 and 2019 had US military deaths at 37 total for both years.
Chauvin’s trial or death will not have justice served. Justice would be that smart influential people be they black or white, wake up and abandon support for the US matrix of breeding violence, abandon support for promoting terrorist groups, gangsta hoods and barrios. LeBron James could start first by signing for Shanghai or Moscow.
How many years of prison he may get for 3rd degree murder? But i’m sure it is not 3rd degree. And the people will protest against it.
And I am sure that this event will certainly be turned into a political card, which will be played in the elections.
This Ex. Cop Chauvin, has to be a SADIST, otherwise, I for one, can’t fathom why this brutality has taken place?
