It's unclear what the internal affairs complaints against the officer, Derek Chauvin, were for. MPD did not provide additional details.Chauvin was fired this week, along with three other MPD officers who were present when Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck. Police have said they were responding to an alleged forgery at a corner store.Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was unarmed and handcuffed, pleaded that he could not breathe.
According to the lawsuit, the officers used"unreasonable force," including"punches, kicks and knees to the face and body while Ferguson was defenseless and handcuffed." As a result, Ferguson suffered broken teeth, bruising and trauma, the lawsuit says. The city would go on to pay Ferguson and his attorney $25,000 to settle the lawsuit on December 11, 2017.
RachelRileyRR CNN are fuelling this shit and giving it gravitas, this is not rage this is using the tragic death of somebody to do violence for a political end CNN fuels these race riots and divisions, all they care about is getting the Democrats in power not black folk they are just exploited
RachelRileyRR WTF
So he’s BEEN a ticking time bomb for years with possibly PTSD n he’s allowed to walk around with a badge n a gun..😳🤔🤔🤔
trina_615
And they did nothing since then🤦
AFRICA IS CALLING.. PLEASE COME BACK HOME ALL MY AFRICAN BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S IN DIASPORA
That’s great America
plot twist they worked together at a restaurant for 1 yr......damm....
Et on laisse ce monstre circuler dans la rue 😭😭😭. Vraiment triste.
It is plain and simple, if they want the riots to stop, they need to do the right thing and arrest those 4 police officers and charge them for murder! To all if the higher ups that have the authority to do this, YOU need to take a stand and know that it's time to make a change.
Time to clean house in the police departments administration
Hong Kong always with us protester。
The long list of complaints of brutality from citizens against Minneapolis PD officers shows there’s an endemic problem that needs to be addressed. Instead, it’s covered up, dismissed and allowed to fester into what we are witnessing now: a PD that’s lawless.
40 days , finally his time is here now
How was he allowed to keep his job. Off to jail with him now....PLEASE.
No capability issues there!
jaketapper Why is he not arrested?
This day was inevitable! Fact is, it's not just Black people who's outraged but White's & people of color from other ethnicities.The fake minority/majority assignment in America is fixed to keep the true majority thinking they are fewer thus allowing some to control the wealth.
GerriPerez3 This means his supervisor, the police union and the police chief. Failed to protect the public, because they didn't fire this unprofessional officer earlier! They looked the other way every time a complaint was filed against this officer. George's death is also on their hands.
MURDERS
And the 18 complaint resulted in what?
gtconway3d it's reasonable to assume that officer should not have had a badge. 18 complaints is normally only something that would happen to a misunderstood rebel cop on a television show or movie.
没有暴徒，只有暴政，五大诉求，缺一不可，Hong Kong always with you。
The blame is on the fucking department. When is 1 complaint just is 1 too much. The department did not care. BlackLivesMatter JusticeForFloyd
The 3 other cops that stood there and watched are equally as guilty.
In the absence of video footage clearly showing their officers killing another human being on plain sight, I would say that MPD requires at least 20 complaints before doing something about their employees behavior.
I have a dream
Maybe they could set a cap limit at say ......10
And George Floyd had a long arrest record including armed robbery
The police men must go to jail no matter how good their evidence is, we are talking about somebody life here, CNN REPORTERS '' should stop backing evil people up but it comes to Donald Trump you we be to write rubbish to castigate his name.
In Africa we thought the policemen are brutal but even in the USA. How come complaints about an officer are swept and kept under the carpet. Are blacks a CURSE TO THE WORLD?
We're the least likely group of people to hate another race, yet we're the most hated.
It should have only took 3 complaints. White privilege is a MF.
😂😂😂😂 most happened between 2008-2016 why now? Stop politicizing this mans murder
Yet he still isn't locked up.
Minny police dept got a nasty wrongful death lawsuit on their hands.
And Amy Klobuchar did nothing. Try covering that.
Why has he not been arrested?
Were the complaints from different races, genders and ages?
The 4 officers definitely needs to see justice but these animals rioting and looting, don’t give a fuck about justice. NotASingleWorkBootLooted
? 18 complaints ? !!! Still working as a cop ?
DerekChauvin minneapolisriots
That’s just fucking ridiculous!!!! But for some odd reason, I’m not at all surprised that the MPD continued to tolerate this racist pig’s actions and kept him on the force. He’d probably still be on the force if it wasn’t for cell phone cameras. 😡🤬🤬
yup... kudos to Sunny. If you can find the clip, it's apparent she knew what she was doing. Completely avoided the question. It was this interview that I completelt lost respect for her and she lost my support for anything.
jaketapper How come the rioters aren't adhering to 6 ft. Distancing? Is there no virus in the middle of burning buildings to the ground?
If only amyklobuchar would have brought charges against Chauvin in 2006 for killing Wayne Reyes, GeorgeFloyd might still be alive!
They all need the death penalty.
gtconway3d Maybe someone should make them wear an arm band or a color on their collar so that any person working with them and any person coming in contact t with them will KNOW to be very cautious and attentive to potential bad Actions. It will also KEEP them in line !!
这就是所谓的人权？
Nice guys those at Minneapolis police department. To serve and to protect 🤔
Officer Derek Chauvin needs to be arrested.
With 18 prior complaints, how in the hell was this officer still active? That needs to be investigated as well. If he had been pulled off duty by those prior complaints, George Floyd might still be alive.
18 attempted murder charges
This is your American freedom and democracy
katiecouric He should have been fired long ago and a life would have been saved
MeredithTerHaar What the heck?
Then the leadership of the police department needs fired & demoted.
💨 🔥!
Trump runs Internal Affairs in the Minneapolis PD
gtconway3d 18 previous complains, all his commanders need to be fired 1st, enabling this criminal to stay on force, opposite to his oath to protect and serve. His commanders don't serve nor protect, but enable violence against The People disregards the constitution/oath. 18 is systemic!!!
gtconway3d OK, so now it’s time to start talking about firing the chief. Because someone with 18 complaints with IA certainly would’ve come under the scrutiny of the chief! Or someone very close to him. rollSomeHeads
Lock his sorry ass up
jaketapper The foxes are in charge of the chicken coop. The blue line is there to protect civilians but they protect themselves best.
Have you asked Amy about that?
Who’s shocked?
Arrests!!!
gtconway3d Unfuckingbelievable
Goodness me!!!😪🤦
gtconway3d Why is this cop not behind bars?
gtconway3d Finally a headline that doesn't need fixing.
gtconway3d He will be killed in prison, and he will deserve it.
18 complaints. A person in almost any job would not have a job if this was their track record.
That is 17x too many.
Let the truth be told. Bring the evil to the surface. No longer can we ignore this hidden crime mentality of biased authority power driven by prejudice
Why was he still working
Sounds like a stand up guy, sure looks like he 100% deserves what’s coming to him
JohnJHarwood Would be interesting to know the nature of those complaints.
Record any interaction with police whenever possible. They aren't all bad, but if you're unlucky, you have little recourse even if you have the incident recorded, and even less recourse if you do not.
pesolette_ It’s so easy to get rid of the Supremecists & obvious trouble cops on the force ... but they refuse to do it
hunt him and kill
Was he arrested yet?
I am white but if you at a person of any other Color of skin than white you are discriminated against. So sad , I am so sorry! All Americans no matter what color their skin is should be treated equally!!!!!
Does Trump even know this happened? He’s too worried about being blocked on Twitter to give a shit.
MaraLiasson Right, but since they apparently still operate by the 2/3 of a person ethos, really it’s only like a dozen.
Charge him with second degree murder.
18 complaints and he was still in duty ? What’s the magic number? 20?
I think all the people that were stealing and burning down the stores should be arrested and put in prison. All they were is a bunch of thugs.
If we could get rid of people breaking laws like George Floyd we wouldn't need police. He was a convicted felon who spent time in prison for armed robbery & in another instance for a home invasion. In this case a police officer went too far & took a life. A mistake in judgment.
Когда будут хорошие новости?
Tragedy. Officers involved need to be brought to justice and those that rioted need to be held accountable also. No excuse for either.
This is a cover up and a systemic problem wi th police in America
And this is a country that attacks China for what it does to its minorities. Well lead by example so that you will be credible
Wow 18 complaints clearly this man a bad cop!!
18! And he still drank wine, ate steak, and went on a choking spree!
And look who wouldn’t prosecute the cop that killed before!
mattmacklin What an absolute disgrace this is from start to finish. Shameful.
oh, we didn’t even need another reason.
What city would you like the looters to destroy next?
Negligent supervisor PAY THE FAMILY
And he still kept his job? Disgusting police department!
WTF?
Hey guys, wanna hear a joke? “America, the land of freedom “
jaketapper What a coward!
So they waited until he killed someone to make an example out of him....wow
Waiting for justice
Why is it so hard for him and his buddies to just be arrested and charged? What's the damn hold up? Seriously!
Clearly the system in Minnesota and the Mayor are behind and in support of this, that Mayor should be questioned fr. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloyd minneapolisriots BlackLivesMatter StopRacismSaveLives WeDontWantRacistLeaders.
Shame! Shame!!!!!!
Someone clearly doesnt wanna charge this officer..It only shows that if this wasn't on video, it wouldve been swept under the rug as just another suspect resisting...The district attorney should also be fired.
He belongs in jail
Wow, and lefty did nothing.
请美国尊重人权、我们不希望看到有平民收到伤害、请政府关切美国人民的诉求、特别是停止种族歧视、保护黑人利益！、
18?!?!? Which means its a systematic problem within the department. Peel the layers back on other offices and there will be more like him. Unfortunately MinneapolisPD is not unique. This issue spreads nationwide throughout 1000s of PDs.
He needs to be charged, NOW!
18? How bout 1 2 or 3...and you're out. What a joke. Hope he gets the book thrown at him
🖤
His prior history is as irrelevent to this discussion as Mr. Floyd's which wasn't exactly saint-like either. All that matters is when the cuffs go on and physical resistence to arrest is over, it's over. There is no need to smear the officer. He is guilty of murder no matter what
Death penalty for him.
18 complaints? if anyone with 18 complaints against him at a work force, the person should have fired longer ago.
Americans have institutionalized killing Blacks Homtut Soundstalgic DreamNigeria
White privileged at its best
This is bad so sad.
If it wasn’t for donlemon I would stop watching this channel!! Protect donlemon at all costs ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
