Full Video; Gov. Tim Walz, Faith Leaders Call For Minnesota To Comply

Nice speeches, unfortunately, until there was trouble in the offing,  no charges were being laid in, not just one iteration of these kinds of events, but in dozens and dozens of these kinds of events.  Even here, where four police did not even try to revive George Floyd,  even after they checked for a pulse and could not find one, instead of turning him over and trying to resuscitate him, they instead watched as that deadly knee was pressed into his neck for another 2 minutes and 53 seconds, almost 3 full minutes with not a care or concern that he might be revived by quick action.  Which is why such speeches fail.  Even now they are trying to sell the idea that the death was accidental/not intentional and/or not pre planned.  Even while the evidence shows the officers involved not only did not care for the life of George Floyd, the actively denied him any rescue effort.  Did that happen by accident too?  Is it an accident that no charges were even intended until the trouble started?  Even after this same sort of thing has happened over and over and over again?  For sure something has to change, but that change has to come from the top, and those at the top are continuing to resist.  That, is what the evidence shows!  Meanwhile, all the rank and file police stand quiet while their leaders struggle to placate the people by doing just enough and no more than necessary.  But people are not supposed to remember and learn from each successive event?  You elected officials and the police need to come forward and condemn these acts and join with the people calling for justice, or stand silent and be counted among those who will help evil succeed.  That's what you've been telling us, now we're telling it to you!
