New video appears to show three police officers kneeling on George Floyd

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/us/george-floyd-new-video-officers-kneel-trnd/index.html

New video posted on social media appears to show three Minneapolis Police Department officers kneeling on George Floyd during his arrest.

Previous video from eyewitness Darnella Frazier showed Floyd, 46, being knelt on by one officer--Derek Chauvin. CNN has not been able to locate the person who shot the new video.

The new video shows the other side of the Minneapolis police vehicle where the arrest occurred. The video appears to show Chauvin and two other officers kneeling on Floyd.

A screengrab from the new video, appearing to show three officers kneeling on George Floyd.

My guess (to be determined by the autopsy) is that the one cop had his knee on his neck and the other was kneeling on his chest, thus compressing his lungs. I think they both should be charged with murder! The other two cops are accessories.

I hope the charge is whatever makes that most likely. Whatever charge fits the case that can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

And Ass Face can't pardon them because these are State charges!

Don't bet that he hasn't asked about it.
