Everyone matters so whenever this happens to another person of either color better get time that they deserve
3 years! How ridiculous! A life was taken! Min they each should receive is life
Oh now he cares about "lying to the court." He didn't seem to have a problem with lying to bystanders, in the police report, and other official documents.
Should have gotten more time and it should not have been concurrent.
Justice
Shameful, he did nothing wrong and shouldn't be bothered.
GEORGE FLOYD THUG..
BLM worship criminals like George Floyd and will not unite people at all
So how much jail time do the judges get for repeatedly freeing a repeat offender?
what a travesty of justice , only one guilty was floyd , they didn't go to his house and drag him out , all this just to keep THEM from burning down the town , when a machine gun would have done the same thing .
Hope he gets MRSA in prison
You all police haters I have a question for you !!!
"When you or family members gets into trouble by junkies then whom do you call May I ask please?
Ps.Im not an American..what I believe is you cannot blame a whole institution!!
George Floyd is SOBER
LEGEND!!!
Be criminals and Americans will worship you. 😄
Americans hate the police and love criminals who shoot and attack law abiding Americans, I guess because criminals give Americans trills. 😄
This proves because somebody is mixed with black doesn't mean they can't hurt other blacks much of our violence is black on black violence
“I love your videos and thank you also for recommending some books and your broker Lisa Winters, her services are exceptional The best decision I ever made in my life was investing in the crypto market. Trust me guys, it really pays a lot! 😊”
So, after Kueng serves his 3.5yrs, does George Floyd get to be alive again ?
3 1/2 years to long
This will eventually be seen as the worst miscarriage of justice in history.
AFAIC, those poor police officers are political prisoners.
Give them a medal for getting that drug addict pos who held a pregnant woman hostage off the street!
On the plus side Floyd has been sober for over 2 years now so congratulations buddy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🖕🖕🖕
Police as well as any other citizen , politician or any public servant need to be held accountable for their actions or lack of. I’m tired of seeing everyday citizens being treated differently. Justice for all.
Ashli babbitt should have complied
Don't do drugs don't resist arrest don't be a career criminal. Don't rob pregnant women at gun point. Don't pass a fake 20 to another black man(who called the cops) at a black owned store and not take the out when the employee gives it to you. Dude sucked.
This is ridiculous. If I was a police officer in America I would say I am not arresting any black person, period. They can go on a killing spree for all I care I am not arresting them because it may be the case he dies of a drug overdose and I get sent to prison for 3 years for it.
The coward racist officer intentionally murdered a human being. The man was in cuffs, and the coward was still scared! I am sure aliens would have more humanity! We are strong and will continue to persevere! God sees it all, and He is taking notice! Be blessed!
All of them are dirty ex cops. They deserve all that's coming to them.
Lock them all up
troll commenters: the cops are innocent
we the people (represented by the jury): those murderers deserve years in jail
troll commenters: troll harder to mask insecurities
comment section full of 3rd world trolls and Russians astroturfing and botting using crypto scams and divide and conquer tactics lol
Crazy
Good. Throw all corrupt cops in jail
A certified police officer basically gets away with murder and is allowed to go home in a short amount of prison time versus a regular citizen who would've gotten life without parole. Our government SUCKS!!!
He should get at least 20
For what witnessing a drug overdose? Go watch the doc The Greatest Lie Ever Sold. The cop's neck was never on Floyd's neck
Did these officers provide Floyd with the numerous drugs in his system? No. So how are they responsible for this s***bags death?
Oh of course this just happens to come out during the biggest WNBA trade
WHY DO THEY HAVE SUCH IMMUNITY DISGRACEFUL BEING WITH BADGES ACTING LIKE THUGS AND COMMUNITY GANGS
The coroner's report said George had an absolutely lethal dose of fentanyl in his system and immediate medical treatment probably would not have saved him
These cops are victims of a derranged sick society on the brink of collapse. Say NO to all degenerecy you witness.
George Floyd was a criminal who died of an overdose— these cops are the true victims
Floyd died of a fentanyl speedball. This is a tragedy.
How exactly is a fentanyl overdose his fault?
