Topic	George Floyd's murderer has been arrested.

They don't have enough to bring a formal charge of what they REALLY want (which is first degree murder). A common problem with prosecutions is that they'll try for a heavy charge before they have everything in order, and the defendant will get off on something tiny like a technicality or a small charge. Bringing him into custody is a start though, that's for sure, but he's going to post bail and be back on the street again soon. They need the autopsy to determine there wasn't a heart attack or something. If they charge him with first degree murder and it turns out he had a heart attack, then he walks. Well said. I absolutely think Floyd deserves justice and the officer needs to be punished. At the very least, the officer is guilty of manslaughter for not attempting to help Floyd once he seemingly passed out. We need to wait and see exactly how Floyd died in order to press charges and actually convict, though. The video, while sickening, does not show how and why Floyd died beyond the shadow of a doubt needed to convict someone of a crime such as murder. --- I HATE ALEX SMITH <cite>abaddon41_80 posted [p:939891871] in George Flo...
