Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) called for the arrest of the three other officers who were involved in the arrest and death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis.
"4 days later. Still three arrests to go. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd" Scott tweeted Saturday.

Four Minneapolis police officers were fired Tuesday after bystander video emerged showing former officer Derek Chauvin pinning Floyd down behind a police car with his knee on Floyd's neck. Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter Friday.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Friday that it is likely that the other officers involved in the arrest will face charges.

OP
Senator Scott, you voted for the Judges that may hear any appeals. Are you confident they are fair?

We need a few of these fence straddlers to say enough is enough, and switch parties, at least for now

He's anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage.

And he would actually be working for a non psychopathic party.

Why are they waiting so long!

Are you helping to give voices to the oppressed, or are you giving more power to the already powerful?
