Minneapolis mayor calls for charges against police after George Floyd death: Here's what we know

The mayor of Minneapolis is calling for charges against the white police officer who knelt on the neck of 46-year-old George Floyd, a black man who died Monday after being restrained.

"Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?" Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a press conference Wednesday. "If you had done it, or I had done it, we would be behind bars right now."

The mayor did not specify what the charge should be but said that his determination was based on video of the incident.

The horrifying video spread quickly on social media Tuesday, showing the officer driving his knee into the Floyd's neck as the man repeatedly says he can't breathe.

1. The internet has done us great good.

And we should be proud, as Americans, to know that we created the internet and gave it to the world for free. Let it continue to be an instrument of justice.

2. Anything less than second degree murder is a whitewash

3. So we see Tom Kelly's

name surface as the Lawyer representing Chauvin. Is he not thick with the Police Union's Head Honcho?

4. Yes! George Floyd was murdered in broad daylight. He was lynched.

And choked to death in the street like an animal. How is this even possible? This was clearly capital murder. I don’t know how any human being could watch that poor man’s suffering and not be brought to tears.
