Ex-Minneapolis officer unrepentant as he gets nearly 5 years in George Floyd killing

When this happened, there were four videos. I watched them all and I believe that justice was served.

I specifically remember this man who did NOTHING to solve the situation. The small crowd was begging the primary cop to get off of George's neck and this officer just stood there, saying, "oh, he's fine. Nothing is wrong with him."

It was sickening to watch and I remember thinking not so nice thoughts.

I was surprised he was charged with anything. If I remember correctly, he was very new to the job. His role was to keep the crowd back to protect the other officers during the arrest. I don’t think this officer is guilty of anything.

To be clear, Chauvin is guilty. Keeping his knee on the neck for two minutes after he was told Floyd wasn’t breathing was malicious and yes, it was sickening to watch.

Peace to you

I've been looking for his years of service this morning. Everything I'm finding says that he graduated from the police academy in 2009, was laid off for two years because of budget cuts, and was reinstated in 2012.

He was found guilty of "aiding and abetting a second-degree manslaughter". He failed to intervene to stop Chauvin. He didn't even try.

Here's some information about what both he and the judge had to say. Tou Thao: Officer who held back crowd during George Floyd's murder sentenced to over 4 years in prison | CNN

We will just have to peaceably disagree here.

The way that is presented could easily fuel COVID-19 conspiracy suspicions if not outright theories.
Two years of COVID-19 budget cuts sandwiched between 2009 and 2012?

WHOOPS!!! My error.

I had multiple things on my mind!! COVID was one of them. It was "budget cuts" - not "COVID budget cuts".

I'll make the correction.

Thanks for the info. We can respectfully disagree.

If he was convicted by a jury, and if I had been on that jury, then perhaps the verdict would have been different, I do not know as I have not seen the evidence they saw.

I would say, no, the officer should not feel repentant because the jury found him guilty. I feel repentant when my conscious (aided by my Helper) convicts me of sin. And the problem of course is those in darkness may have so scarred their conscious they have no compass to guide them.
