THAT MOTHERFUCKER
He'll probably be charged with manslaughter, but a reckless disregard for somebody's life should carry a more serious charge... AT LEAST second degree murder.

(12,472 posts)Since no one was listening to the cry for help and bystanders assessment...He was unresponsive!

(3,491 posts)and he is pissed. He wants murder charges brought against the thug who killed Floyd and doesn't understand why none have been brought.

(6,845 posts)They should start with a murder 1 and then go down to murder 2 if they have to.
Let him go to parole meetings for the rest of his life, that are so packed he will never get out.
