    so shouting abuse at a cop is ok but talking to one deserves a physical response?

    He's not shouting at a cop. Hes between 2 cops shouting into the council chamber. There is no law against shouting.

    Apologies if it was posted already..

    "Thomas Keirnan Lane, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers charged in the alleged murder of George Floyd, is out of jail. Hennepin County records show that Lane bonded out Wednesday afternoon."

    "Lane was hired by the department in February 2019. His attorney, Earl Gray, has said Lane had only been on active duty for four days as of the incident. Because of that, Gray argued, it was “unreasonable” to expect Lane to attempt to remove Chauvin’s leg from Floyd’s neck. The lawyer also asserted that Lane asked Chauvin if Floyd should be rolled over and that Lane tried to perform CPR on Floyd in the ambulance.

    “What was my client supposed to do but follow what his training officer said?” Gray said. “Is that aiding and abetting a crime?”

    "Minneapolis police policies require “every sworn employee present at any scene where physical force is being applied to either stop or attempt to stop another sworn employee when force is being inappropriately applied or is no longer required.”

    "Will the criminal case against Derek Chauvin go to trial? A prosecutor’s office has revealed that there were actually plea negotiations before Chauvin was even arrested in the death of George Floyd. Clearly, those negotiations fell apart."

    Does that city allow bail bonds? If so he would only have to come up with $100k

    Family I would guess or maybe the good old police union?
    I think all lawyers are being paid by the police I read last week. Think it was one of the local news sites reported it.

    It seems you can't comprehend what Walsh B has been saying , Whatever he was ,what ever done or didn't do before that day is just padding to the story ,
    In that moment he refused to listen to numerous police instructions and done the opposite and walk towards them ,

    He lack of common sense lead to the incident, yes of course the police action are also involved but all could have be avoided by him,

    $750,000 was the posted bail.

    plus security for the other 900K. probably one or more homes at that level.

    both promoted the theory that he as trying to jam police communications. a theory that is nonsense. but that will not stop them continuing to promote it.

    Ye quite possible is nonsense but makes no difference to the facts of the story,

    Does beg the question what was he doing with his hand ,He makes the same odd movement a few times towards the police mans waist and his eye line is also looking down there even as he is pushed his hand goes back to the same movement with the phone ,

    Does any one know what he was actually up to ? did he say ?

    Iirc the bail system (in addition to being a fcuked system) only requires you to pay a portion up front.

    and now you are at it as well. doing your best to justify the violent response from police

    More goal posts moving and excuses and blaming everyone but the actual person responsible, the falling man.

    It’s a simple question. How much time between the order and the refusal? Oh, no time? How inconvenient for those defending this indefensible act of violence. It’s no wonder you would deflect away from that.

    Pushed!.

    This discussion is gone beyond the realms of reason.

    There's blame on the man walking up, there is blame on the cops for choosing the push and not arrest.

    Accidents happen, to die on a hill of its all one or the other is stupid as fcuk.

    Fair play. This is reason..

    I’ll go with this, as it is pointless going back and forth all day..

    Simple question. But not a simple answer for us keyboard warriors here in Ireland..

    So, just assume that the cops didn’t push him for no good reason..

    The video shows what happened...the man created the incident. He started it..

    There's no good reason to push anyone in any profession. Law enforcement or otherwise. It quite clearly wasn't self defense. It's assault. Plain and simple and on camera. The police have no authority to push some one as that is assault. And as a police office he would have been trained and knows this. It's negligence.

    I'm sorry but you can't argue it wasnt.

    No I’d say the police started it by assembling the gang of jackboots, but who started it is the last defense of a childs argument. If the man really “started something” he would have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony. Yet, no charges were filed, so that’s a bust. Clearly the officers couldn’t identify anything illegal that the gentlemen did.
