    And kind of tall too. Jackson is 6’7” so Floyd must be around 6’4”

    Floyd's apparently a former football player playing DB. He's not even listed as 6'0 at 5'11.

    When those cops stood him up in that infamous video, he is clearly taller than all of them.

    Bullshit. This country has seen much worse times than these and made it through. Don't be such a p***y. Fight for a better place and be part of the solution.

    Who said that?

    For Christians, there is nothing wrong with Porter's message.

    I don't blame Jackson - or really anyone else, ATM - who was personally affected by Floyd's murder to take major offense to it. But even Jackson would be better off if he one day forgives the murderer.

    Jackson is not the sharpest tool in the shed. You guys still remember “The Malace at the Palace”.

    This is a load of crap from the county attorney. The video footage from the incident easily supports murder charges.

    yeah he's basically saying he has evidence which supports justification for the cop putting his whole body weight on the victims neck to block his breathing and blood flow and leaving it there for almost 10 minutes or even longer

    They want the Twin Cities to burn down so they can get federal to rebuild. Disgusting but most likely.

    Or they were directed to find any technicality they could to not charge the officers out of spite for the rioters and looters. Either way, something is rotten in Denmark.

    The "evidence" would have to be the medical examiners report.

    There is absolutely NO REAL extenuating circumstances that would justify a knee on somebody's neck for 8 minutes. None.

    No doubt, he’s just not the sharpest tool.

    agreed, but I’m jaded when it comes to fairness with charging and convicting cops

    How is at least the guy with his knee on Floyd’s neck not arrested yet?
