Restraining a handcuffed man who isn’t resisting with my knee on his neck, and he is telling me for 9 mins I can’t breathe is not restraining foh
What you’re describing also isn’t first degree murder, so not sure what your point is. You want a moral victory and an acquittal? Then push for first degree murder.

People being reactionary now. A third degree murder charge actually suggests there's a real chance for conviction. Anything more and he would definitely beat it.

Im guessing all the people thats complaining about the charges and claiming "Hes gonna get 2 years or he's gonna walk" are undercover agents and cacs that's really hoping he don't get alot of time or he walks. They're trying to speak it into existence. They mad he got arrested and charged in the first place so now they trying to create a new narrative.

1.First it's he's not gonna be arrested and charged

2.Then he gets arrested then they claim he was only arrested for his own safety and they say "Why wasn't he charged?"

3.He gets charged then they start acting fake mad about the charges and claim he's gonna walk

4.Then he gets found guilty

5.Then they claim the sentencing is what we really need to worry about and start claiming he's gonna get 2 years or 5 years

6.Then he get's sentenced to 50 years then they claim 50 years is too low and he got off good and 50 years is a win for him and a L for black people

7.Then they end up giving him life in prison then they claim life is too low and since he didn't get the death penalty he won and the black community lost

8.Then they give him the death penalty then they claim they only gave him the death penalty because putting him to death will be better than him dieing slow in prison so him getting the death penalty is a win for him and a L for black people.

They do this for every single last case involving a white person killing a black person. They spin every L the white people take into a win. And they spin every win for black people into a L.

There is apparently a rally happening at US Bank Stadium at 3PM.

A lot of the riots have been happening in lower income areas (Longfellow, Midway). Call me a conspiracy theorist, but this could be some elaborate setup to lower property values and destroy places to push along gentrification.

The Minnesota sentencing guideline for 3rd degree murder by depraved mind (as opposed to controlled substances, which brings a slightly lesser sentence) with no criminal history, is 12 years, with the judge having flexibility to go from 10 years 8 months-15years without it being considered a departure (which would require reasons that I can't see being fulfilled here).

Third degree murder in Minnesota is :

(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.

Sounds about right. Second degree murder is intentional but not premeditated, or unintentional in the course of committing another felony. We can all see the sick enjoyment the cop had while doing this, but proving intent would be a big stretch, and any halfway decent lawyer could get him off. Third degree seems like a pretty solid case

As for how much he'll actually serve? Generally, in Minnesota, he'll have to do 2/3 of the sentence before being released on supervision.

Manslaughter is irrelevant, as I can't figure out any way they could possibly run the sentences consecutively.

Edit to clarify that proving the intent to kill would be the hard part of 2nd degree, as opposed to proving the absence of regard for human life in 3rd degree

word, you hear the DA's tone in the press conference? he haaaaaaaated that he had to bring these charges, stressed that it was done faster than ever, and was defiant towards any questions of why it wasn't done faster or why the charges weren't more severe.

They need to be outside the DAs house
