    The LEO is found guilty - on all three counts

    How will other LEO operate in the future ?

    I think a lot of LEO will be over cautious about on arresting an individual.
    and if so - will a LEO or even a civilian loose their life?

    Sure enough. Why take the significant risk to your life and family. It will also be harder to find good people to work as LEO, but mostly in black majority areas I think.
    So the ones those cities can find to work, may well be psychos. There is going to be more crime. Democrat run cities, crime rates have doubled for murders already. You would think they would run out of bad guys but it is an endless pit they crawl out from.

    A few decades ago, my nephew worked in NYC walking the streets. He had to pull his gun every day to stop criminals. He has since become a detective.

    So you are happy that someone is going to jail!
    Shame on you.
    Justice is one thing - but to exclaim joy certainly is NOT the Christian way.

    I don't think the law enforcement officers can allow this to change how they conduct business (correct ones anyway).

    If an officer is holding down a dying man (or one begging for help) after that man has stopped resisting then that officer should be second guessing himself.

    Mr. Floyd was a criminal. He had a violent history and a drug issue. He resisted arrest. He may very well have died regardless, but in the end he was held to the ground instead of being helped (even if it would not have mattered).

    What complicates the issue is the Democrat Party. The DNC has to create social injustice issues, they have to create racism. It is the only way they can retain power (racism is their political capital).

    That is the problem.

    They want minorities to feel they are victims, that they are weak. Some drink the kool-aid and willingly put on the yoke of slavery to serve their masters.

    The police need to be concerned about being victims of the DNC, of the social injustice they create.

    Those in Minnesota may find their situation seriously compromised, jeopardized. Or should I say "hobbled?"

    And with this decision, there may still be more officers tried. Stay tuned.

    Now, how many will be putting in for retirement - or finding jobs elsewhere

    Yes, the Dem Progressive Left and their MSM are in on it. But the problem is much worse than that. There is much black on black crime and this false narrative only worsens that situation.

    WARNING: This fellow gets a bit salty calling out the hypocrisy ("fraud"). Add "Where is Maxine?"

    A 7yr Old Was Murdered at McDonalds! Where is BLM? CNN? Al Sharpton?

    Jaslyn Adams. "Say her name!"​

    Here in Syracuse, NY; there have been 3 high profile murders

    1) 90 year old white female murdered by black teen male - and stole her car
    2) 90 year old white female murdered by black 25 yo female - and stayed in victims apt for 3 weeks with the body.
    3) 11 month old black female murdered by black male - killer shot at the car while he was driving, also hit young females

    Where is BLM - No one marching for them? - The two 90 year olds were both school teachers and well beloved by former students

    Maybe because there isn’t half the population and an entire system of police, lawyers and judges hoping and trying to make sure that the perpetrators go free and unpunished.

    That's ignorant and naïve in the extreme. They simply don't fit the BLM & Dem Progressive Left narrative which is all about white cops who kill black thugs doing thuggish things. "Hands up, don't shoot!"

    Justice is a murderer going to jail. It is not the Christian way to not celebrate justice prevailing.

    per
    NO-NO-NO because all 3 alleged murderers were all black and 2 of the victims were white!
    30% of Syracuse is black

    Whether dying, lying, or anything, that officer unlawfully murdered George Floyd and is rightfully going to prison.

    Let's just face the truth.

    The root cause of George Floyd's death was terminal stupidity.
