The thing he doesn't like about Twitter's new way to deal with him is that it blocks his sycophants from responding.

I don't think you can unintentionally choke a man to death who is handcuffed and not resisting.

Those other officers need to be charged too.  If I stood with a gun, next to a coworker who was murdering someone, and stopped the gathered crowd from saving the guy's life, I'd be sitting in a jail cell right now.

Yea I’m no lawyer so @Brisketexan tell me if I’m wrong. I would argue the refusal to check pulse, refusal to stop after the man goes limp, and the refusal to stop after there is clearly no threat all show intent to kill IMO.

That's absolutely the evidence you would argue for that point, you're correct.  I think the refusal to stop, or even change position or check on the victim, once you have been told that you are causing him serious bodily injury, is the most probative of intent.

If I am committing reckless act X, that's one thing -- that may get me a third degree murder charge if my act kills you.  But if I am committing reckless act X, AND I am then told that act X is killing someone, and I affirmatively choose to continue act X with not just the information that my act MAY kill someone, but it is ACTUALLY killing someone, then yes, second degree is the right charge.

Firing a gun indiscriminately can get you a third degree charge.  But if I am shooting at, say, some barrels without checking to see if someone is inside (that's reckless), and multiple people, including a voice from inside the barrel says "don't shoot that, there's someone inside!" and I shoot anyway, killing the occupant....then my action was no longer merely reckless -- it was intentional and knowing.

The case can be made, absolutely.  It just might not get all the way to a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt, because it requires a jury to decide, without any doubt, on the state of mind of the accused.

"Depraved mind" homicide is really a misnomer.  It tends to mean reckless, which I guess is a species of depravity, but "depraved mind" really connotes something else.

Actually, based on the statutes, it's probably the correct charge.  An argument could be made for second degree murder, but the standard for third degree most accurately fits these circumstances.  A summary of the statute, in lay language:

It carries up to a 25 year sentence, so it's not a light charge.  That said, the argument to be made for a second degree murder charge was the cop continuing to keep the knee on him when he was informed by both the victim and observers that he was killing Mr. Floyd.  At that moment, his state of mind and intent changed, and it became second degree murder.  I'm just observing that when the jury has to adjudicate someone's subjective state of mind, that's a tougher prosecution.  It would be much easier to get a conviction on a third degree charge.  It might even be a slamdunk, if the autopsy confirms that the death was caused or materially contributed to by Chauvin's actions.

Yep.  It may sound light, but if he gets convicted of 3rd degree murder, he's going to serve a looong time, provided he doesn't get shanked right away.

I think you are right.

The DA really is a separate entity and should consider itself so and be considered such.  But the reality is not that.  Not only are they dependent on one another, they become pretty monolithic in their mindset.

So yeah, there ought to be special prosecutors brought in for every potential criminal incident involving a cop perpetrator.  There is a Public Integrity Unit for other politically involved prosecutions and its reach ought to extend to cop crimes, as well.

I can barely read crime fiction/police procedurals (Harry Bosch, Dave Robicheaux) without getting pissed anymore.  And James Lee Burke writes Robicheaux liberal as fuck in every aspect except crime and punishment.

in a perfect world, in my opinion, this would be a state oversight agency with prosecution powers. and this would be oversight over police at all levels, as well as all other public servants, such a judges, politicians, etc.

but that will never happen, or if it does, it'll be a sham.

sigh.

[MC Fresh Breath 4075]

This site is getting goddamned ridiculous.  I wasn't much of a cloak room reader before, but the whole 'muh safe space' on the DT side of the house about issues that inherently intertwine with politics is fucking ridiculous and weak.  Not to mention there's a lot of not so subtle dog whistling that invites a political reply, then they all scream 'no politics here you dumbass go to the cloak room!' Hell, one of the posters replied with "just go vote blue if you think that will fix everything."  

As if an internet discussion board is supposed to have a 'just the facts ma'am' section where nobody has an opinion on anything.  As if the DT is the internet board's equivalent of Reuters or the AP.  Stupid.   When did Texas sports fans become such overall pussies that have to scream as if poisoned because their eyes happened to alight upon something political in nature?  

That the moderators encourage such bitchassness pretty sad as well,  honestly.

Yup. Your post is about to get moved though. To another echo chamber of stupidity.

If you feel like protesting, here’s a cool tip to thwart facial recognition.

His message was still true, though. Regardless of your belief of if he had a right to express it. Many wanted to overlook exactly what he was protesting and just focus on if he had the right. They said he grew up in the suburbs and a great family so had no "right" to protest. Then they said it disrespected the flag and military.Shouldn't do it on the job and on and on. While conveniently ignoring what he was actually protesting. Which yes, is a huge problem in this country.

Pay attention the narratives each get from the media and the country in general as opposed to peaceful protests from another demographic and you will see the root of what is wrong in this country. That demographic with guns = omg scary and thugs!! criminals!!" The other side with guns protesting = defending their rights and the constitution. I'd love to see how they would have reacted if the cops came and enticed them with tear gas and harassment. 

Remember, all this rebellion started with peaceful protests. It got out of hand once they were purposely enticed by the cops. Calculated. To push the agenda that this side are animals and the other side is peaceful and great Muricans! It's all a game to them.

Sooner or later, one of the folks who like to play army dress up is going to accidentally or purposefully fire a shot during one of their muh freedoms protests and then there will be one hell of a mess.

Or if the left acted like the right and police there would be a planned shooting of a cop at one of those white supremacist rallies to spark it off.
