    Some of our local municipal governments are denouncing police brutality in the #George_Floyd case (as they should) without speaking to their own histories of brutality and killings (which they should also should address).

    It is hypocritical to denounce police killings halfway across the country without also dealing with your own locality’s history of unprovoked beatings and killings.

    In light of the #George_Floyd killing, maybe it is time for businesses to re-examine their "call the police policies" for non-violent crimes. Every time the police get involved, there's a chance they'll kill somebody.

    (Note: it is easily possible that he would not know that a twenty US dollars bill he used was counterfeit ... e.g., he got it as change from another store or bank.)

    1. Minneapolis' Third Precinct served as 'playground' for renegade cops
      Even before George Floyd was killed, the south Minneapolis precinct had a reputation for being home to police officers who played by their own rules.

    Additional charges for all four officers in #George_Floyd killing.

    * Derek Chauvin -- Second degree murder
    * Others (Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng, tou Thao) -- aiding and abetting second degree murder, aiding and abetting second degree manslaughter

    If they had done this eight days ago, the destruction around us would not have happened.

    That 2nd degree charge is _in addition_ to the 3rd degree charge, not in place of.

    A very bad strategy. No governor wants the their National Guard units to actually shoot people. They want to contain the destruction, so that rioters eventually run out of stuff to destroy and go back home. Likewise, no president wants the Army to shoot people.

    And no soldier wants to be told to shoot his / her own nation's citizens, so there's a huge risk of disobedience.

    The better strategy would be to send #US-DOJ in with arrest warrants for the other police officers involved in #George_Floyd's death (and the police officers involved in #Breonna_Taylor's death) and keep them confined while building a case against them.
