The police blotter
Two of the three men charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd were rookies, on their fourth day as Minneapolis police. Derek Chauvin was their training officer.
Video has surfaced of Manuel Ellis being restrained and suffocated by a rainbow coalition of Tacoma police on March 3. According to the medical examiner, Ellis died of hypoxia caused by physical restraint. He can be heard saying repeatedly, "I can't breathe." Perhaps this could be designated as the national safe word.
Two police in Buffalo were suspended after shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground at a peaceful demonstration. Fifty-seven officers have resigned from the emergency response team in protest -- of the suspensions, not the assault on the old man, who bled profusely from a head wound.
In Texas, two Republican county chairs are pretty sure the murder of George Floyd was "staged" to make Trump look bad. They believe George Soros is behind it, as usual.
The number of U.S. troops stationed in Germany will be reduced by 9,500, but there is no reason to think they will be used to patrol American cities. There is more reason to think it has to do with the Trump-Putin phone call earlier this week.
Here's some video of the LAPD going full Kirk Gibson on some peaceful protesters.
New York City remains under curfew, affording the police an excuse to assault essential workers who are forced to be on the street late. Governor Cuomo denied the evidence on the videos: "They don't do that."
Under Florida law, providing false information on a voter registration form is a felony that can carry a $5,000 fine and five years in prison. It appears that one Donald J. Trump registered in Palm Beach County with an out-of-state address (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C.). If spotted, do not approach. Call Christopher Wray at the FBI.
