It may be against policy, but the only possible way to avoid the inevitable was to arrest the guy immediately. Sort out the logistics laterWhich is of course why the DA should have come out and made it clear that doing things the right way would simply take a bit of time but didn’t mean that nothing was happening. If nothing else, finding a sympathetic reporter that would carry that water and point out the laws and red tape preventing faster action would have been a smart move.
Clearly the poster came in with an agenda.Trump doesn't have the power to pardon this guy unless he is convicted of a federal offense, right?
Thanks. The bolded is all that is relevant.Sorry - when you throw out a faux insult directed at the mayor, it doesn't lead me to believe you would want to have an honest discussion on this topic.
Frey called on the DA to arrest the police officer. The DA refused. Frey came out immediately and fired the 4 officers involved. The looting and rioting is terrible. And I am sure there is more that he could have done to prevent it, but I think we can all agree that there is only so much he can do. And whatveer he does, or doesn't do, there are going to be thousands of arm chair mayors calling him out for it.
This is a super ####ty situation. Instead of calling people names and mocking their credentials, we should all be working to find solutions
Of course I have an agenda. Are you saying you don't?Clearly the poster came in with an agenda.
Perhaps. Let's have that discussion then. And please try and avoid disparaging the mayor's professional history if possible.Thanks.

Have a good day.Of course I have an agenda. Are you saying you don't?
The biggest shock of this situation , to me, is seeing statements from police unions condemning the officer's actions. That's just unheard of.That makes a ton of sense. I imagine they also have substantial union protections that may follow them even after being fired.
TLDRDon't worry, Trump will pardon him if he's convicted of anything, just like he did for Sheriff Joe Arpaio (who is on the ballot again this year).
I corrected over what is reported. I read about .0001% of this forum.Joe I like to leave in the quote exactly what im responding to. Sorry about that, won't do it again. However, there was one aggressive response to what I posted in this thread, I ignored it, but seeing you correct me over a quote edit and let that one slide has me confused. Clarification on that would be appreciated, maybe people reported my post, and didn't report his?
They also complained about him reading from a teleprompter because he was good at it. Now we have a guy who can barely read at all.Obama did it, so you know it was bad.
Always going to happen when you get looting situations. Because people aren't really discussing whether kneeling on some guys trachea for nine minutes or looting a deli is right or wrong. They're arguing about which wrong we should be discussing.This thread finally has an incident where I’m pretty sure everyone agrees the cop was wrong and yet there is still right v left bickering. I know, I know; they started it.
Not to toot my own horn, but you're missing some pretty clever puns now and then.I read about .0001% of this forum.
He saved over 2 million lives per the projectionsBut, you'll notice we all stopped talking about what a poor job he did with covid19...
Report your own posts so he knows what to readNot to toot my own horn, but you're missing some pretty clever puns now and then.
This is the 2nd time you have made that comment.Nobody cares what you choose not to read
You do know that Michigan archaic gun laws actually allow guns and open carry in the Capitol building right?"These are very good people, but they are angry." on protesters with assault rifles taking over the Michigan Capitol
"LIBERATE MICHIGAN!"
"LIBERATE MINNESOTA!"
"LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!"
From a 1990 Playboy interview:
"We’re laughed at by the rest of the world. In order to bring law and order back into our cities, we need the death penalty and authority given back to the police. I got fifteen thousand positive letters on the death-penalty ad. I got ten negative or slightly negative ones."
"(The Soviet Unions') system is a disaster. What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That’s my problem with Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand."
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world—"

Thanks, Mom!This is the 2nd time you have made that comment.
That was for the benefit of the OP, as I sure others here don't want to have to scroll through anything that lengthy and develop carpal tunnel syndrome from an interminably long post.
Then move on and don't read it. No one cares what you read or don't read.This is the 2nd time you have made that comment.

The Noor case opened with the same charges but later added second degree murder.Officer Chauvin charged with third degree murder and manslaughter- Hennepin County Atty Mike Freeman
But others don't care to scroll through anything that long. In fact, I recall one of the mods advising against posts that lengthy.Then move on and don't read it. No one cares what you read or don't read.
This seems likely - no charges.Local lawyer does not believe the other three will be charged. He does not have any inside information.
How does insurance on a business work?A Minneapolis firefighter had invested his life's savings into a sports bar that was looted and burned to the ground last night. In a bit of better news, there's a gofundme campaign started by the man that has now raised $187,000 by the time of my posting.
I'm certainly no expert, but I saw a lot of people claiming that most business insurance doesn't cover arson.How does insurance on a business work?
I am sure merritt and/or crump will do that.This seems likely - no charges.
But, If I were the family's attorney filing the civil suit, I would be sure to go after them personally - in addition to the police and city.
These officers should never forget that they stood by while a fellow officer slowly killed a man, and they did nothing to stop it, nor render aid.
Looting leads to shooting, and that’s why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I don’t want this to happen, and that’s what the expression put out last night means....
....It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!

We believe in law and order in this Country. We condemn violence against property or persons.
We will always stand for the right of Americans to peacefully protest and let their voices be heard.
Its not going to cover arson by the insured themselves (or someone on their behalf) but arson by a 3rd party would almost certainly be covered. (I imagine this event would qualify as an "act of vandalism") Most have an exclusion for "Dishonesty" which would apply to arson by the insured (or in collusion with the insured)I'm certainly no expert, but I saw a lot of people claiming that most business insurance doesn't cover arson.
Can we get a pole on this so we can see how others feel?But others don't care to scroll through anything that long. In fact, I recall one of the mods advising against posts that lengthy.

In an ideal world, the insurance company would then pursue subrogation against the person who set the fire, (lets say, for example, it was a rival business owner or someone that actually had assets to go after) but obviously that's not realistic here.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner (ME) conducted Mr. Floyd's autopsy on May 26, 2020. The full report of the ME is pending but the ME has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.
The defendant had his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total. Two minutes and 53 seconds of this was after Mr. Floyd was non-responsive. Police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone positions is inherently dangerous.
He called them thugs and tweeted that looting leads to shooting. Now he’s trying to cover himself. Is that what impresses you?Trump is really starting to impress me

Obviously every contract is different (all peril vs named peril, tons of AVAILABLE exclusions that COULD be utilized) , but my company (a VERY large one) doesn't have such an exclusion for direct physical loss.Its been a while since I specifically reviewed for this, but pretty sure riot or civil commotion coverage is a separate exclusion/endorsement. No?

No one wants rioting. But President Trump’s tweet was pretty clearly a threat. Yes that’s my opinion.That's your opinion.
Violent rioting and stealing is thuggish behavior, that is a fact.
Every time there is mass rioting someone is shot and killed, so I don't see the problem with his tweet. It is once again, factual. I do however see a problem with twitter mischaracterizing his tweet just because they don't want to see Trump re-elected.
George Floyd was an honorable man, so I don't think its a stretch to say he wouldn't have wanted the rioting.
