Experienced prosecutors and investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been assigned as part of a “robust” probe into whether the police officers involved had violated federal laws, the department said in a statement. Floyd, 46, died on Monday. The investigation will be carried out by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota, the Justice Department’s civil rights division and the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office.
A second day of demonstrations, accompanied by looting and vandalism, began on Wednesday hours after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged prosecutors to file criminal charges against the white policeman shown pinning Floyd to the street.
Well I hope and pray it WILL NOT be a cover up to protect the cop muderers. They MUST get jail.. and never get out!!!!
It's so obvious what happened. Arrest the police officers involved and prosecute them.
The corrupt DOJ. Only priority cause election is in November.
What investigation? The cop crushed the man’s neck while he was handcuffed.!! murder - Obvious minneapolisriots -All Rioters should be arrested & jailed - No excuses
Not looting? oh. I see. 👀
It was clear manslaughter from what appears to be gross negligence...adding it was caused by racism is the same profiling tactic a racist would use! DIA is broken
That white woman who called police when a black man advised her to restrain her dog, well understood the mentality of cops towards African Americans. The mindset of cops towards black people has to be changed. If not blacks are in serious trouble.
I suppose since the feds are getting involved, there will now be federal funding used to rebuild the shithole after they burn the whole thing down?
Honestly, I don't know what is left to prove or investigate. It was a live footage, no need for more evidence. They should be subjected to the same method to feel the same pain he felt, the same pain everyone feels. Going to hell without a chance to seek forgiveness is a disaster
I don't trust a cop rolling up on me and I'm an old white male. I can't imagine what it is like for a black person, especially with all the high visibility murders and outright racist videos of white people showing their ass.
Probe...😂I don't think probing is going to change the outcome here. I think when we had a PoC as POTUS & he probed & nothing changed, it was an indication that nothing is going to change with more probing. In conclusion, leave the probing to the aliens.
Fight for freedom. Stand with Minnesota.
US DOJ....oh well...he's going free.
Top priority behind what, enabling Trump's criminality? Seems like that in itself is a full-time job.
Now that Barr has sold all the DOJ's credibility to a racist this means nothing and won't stop any protests or riots.
Probe ? Try watching the video .
The DOJ dismantled at least a year ago.
Top priority to close and vindicate the officers who murdered George Floyd in cold blood. The current administration set the US back decades.
Why the police officer who killed George Floyd has not been arrested? Why there is no statement/Tweet from the President? Really!
Justice for him
As it should be.
