J. Alexander Kueng was on his third day as a policeman when training officer Derek Chauvin placed his knee on George Floyd's neck.

Lane and Kueng were the first officers to arrive at the scene that night, as they investigated a report that a possible counterfeit $20 bill had been passed at the Cup Foods grocery store, according to the complaint against Chauvin.

A cuffed Mr Floyd was eventually put face-down on the pavement with Kueng holding down his back and Lane pressing down his legs, the charging document against Chauvin said.While a distressed Mr Floyd said"I can't breathe","Mama" and"please" several times, Lane asked:"Should we roll him on his side?""I am worried about excited delirium or whatever," Lane allegedly said.

The medical examiner ruled that Mr Floyd's death was a homicide, but added that he had"significant" underlying conditions, including hypertensive heart disease, fentanyl intoxication and recent methamphetamine use.But an examination funded by Mr Floyd's family reached a somewhat different conclusion.

The whole of them are a bunch of racist murders. But this is nothing new. It’s slavery, it never ended.

George Floyd was a 46-year-old man from Texas with six felonies including armed robbery where he pointed a gun at the stomach of a pregnant black woman. This had nothing to do with his skin colour.

So both rookies were working together with a combined 7 days on the job? I’m not buying that!

You got to ask who the fek interviewed that scum and employed them ffs

Plug in old sparky for these evil beyond comprehension racist murderers the world is appalled and disgusted by their actions

So basically it was a senior officer 'showing off' to two newbies

Good on this guy for trying to object. Corruption leads to coverups. georgefloyd stoppolicebrutality

Being new to the job is no excuse for watching a fellow officer kill another human being. If you don’t act to stop it, you’re complicit in it. George Floyd was pinned down for 8 minutes and 46 seconds... way more time than was needed to stop Chauvin crushing his neck.

Yup this is true.

Kinda spoils the racist narrative, lol.

46% of suspended Minnesota police officers are reinstated by their union leader Bob Kroll a notorious white supremacist

What was George floyd arrested for

He will plead out and not serve.

Yeah, when I heard they were trainees under Chauvin's command I'm not sure how I feel about them doing serious jail time. It's not easy to question your boss first week on the job. God damn it, it's complicated.
