(3,282 posts)to try to tie Klobuchar to this killing because of something that happened 15 years ago. Of course it's also coming from the Jacobian/Common Dreams set who last week was trying to convince everyone that Biden was a serial rapist.
I don't think Klobuchar is the best pick here, but I think it's pretty awful to try to pin this on her for something totally unrelated.
White cop who knelt on George Floyd's neck was involved in a fatal police shooting and one of the other fired officers paid a $25K settlement after being sued for using excessive force in arrest where he punched and kicked a handcuffed suspect
Derek Chauvin, 44, the officer filmed kneeling Floyd's neck for eight minutes, is a 19-year veteran of the force
He was investigated in 2006 over a fatal police shooting and again in 2008 and 2011 for two more shootings
A second officer involved in Monday's arrest, Tou Thao, was sued in 2017 for using excessive force
The lawsuit, obtained by DailyMail.com, accuses him of punching and kicking a handcuffed suspect

Why are you blaming any of that on Klobuchar.
She was Hennepin County Attorney for only one of them, the 2006 shooting. In that one the man was already suspected in a stabbing and then pulled a shotgun on six officers. Chauvin wasn't even the cop who shot him. So, you think Klobuchar should have prosecuted him?
Stop trying to use a tragedy to bash on a Democratic Senator who has nothing to do with it just because she's not your choice for VP.

(35,663 posts)the vp choice can have no stains on her record at a time like this. Like it or not, this also nixes Kamala Harris. She has a similar instance(s) on her record.
this is ridiculous, in both counts.
