Yesterday, the presser they had made matters worse.
They were supposed to start at 4, they started at 6.
I got the sense they were hoping to announce arrest(s), but didn't. This is what ignited an already fragile situation.
Prosecutors said early Thursday night that they had not yet decided whether to charge any of the four Minneapolis police officers, including the one who knelt on George Floyd’s neck shortly before he died.
....
“That video is graphic and horrific and terrible, and no person should do that,” Mr. Freeman said of the Minneapolis officer’s actions. “But my job, in the end, is to prove that he violated a criminal offense, and there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge.”
Later, he clarified that statement, but the damage was done.
Let's remember, Mr Floyd was killed, because of a phony 20.00 bill. We don't even know if he realized it was a fraud. And 4 officers took him down, we have several videos showing Mr Floyd didn't struggle when he was cuffed, they had full control over Mr Floyd, yet this escalated, why??
and WHY haven't they been arrested & charges?
Until that happens, the violence & outrage will continue.
