George Floyd killing and the aftermath

[Tgo01]

Shit, news flying fast with this case.

Wait what is 3rd degree murder in MN? Third degree murder typically is manslaughter.

Apparently everyone in the world is Googling this right now because the MN state website explaining what it is is down.

Finally got through.

(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.

So third degree murder basically is manslaughter but with the addition of acting in a dangerous manner. He faces up to 25 years in prison for that alone.

Third-Degree Murder
Third-degree murder falls between manslaughter and second-degree murder charges. This murder is not based on having the intent to kill. Third-degree murder is often charged as a depraved heart or mind crime. This charge can arise when a person fires a gun in a crowd without intending to kill anyone, for example. Murder is charged when a person is killed and the defendant has an indifference to the sanctity of human life. This charge may also result if a person sells bad drugs. The maximum penalty for murder is up to 25 years in prison. If the death resulted because of a Schedule I or II drug sale, a fine of up to $40,000 may result.

They also have 1st and 2nd Degree Manslaughter. I'm thinking it is more likely second degree manslaughter here.

Things have changed so much since then. I think if those Koreans did that today they would be vilified to no end.

The minneapolis police department is a cess pool. They need new leadership, better training, and a new culture. This is sadly not an isolated event, but it happened at a time when people are desperate and have a lot of time on their hands.

It's not that I want socialism. There is a reason we pay taxes for governance, it's so we can maintain a society where people don't have to resort to mob violence. It's inevitable to prevent riots when that government gives trillions to failed business and then tells the tax payer to use boot straps.

All I can do is shrug, step aside and watch natures law take the place of failed human laws. We have decided that 630 billion is better spent on bombs than people.

Half of Congress thinks that well funded business is the only way to save a failing economy, when in reality stagnant wages, an embarrassingly low federal minimum wage and economic policies which favor a 3% or higher inflation rate has led to a massive draining of wealth. The middle class is all but wiped out while those at the poverty line see nothing but closed doors at businesses flooded with loans who don't have customers with cash to spend.

CNN's Brian Stelter:

"When a CNN camera hit the ground, America saw the world through George Floyd’s eyes,"

What a mess CNN is.

Imagine if Fox News compared themselves to a black man who was killed by a police officer just mere days after the killing.
