Were to be charged with murder, where would this lead Law and Order enforcement in USA?
Police would be powerless to restrain a suspect who was trying to resist arrest. Anyone who watches any of these police programs such as "Police camera action" etc will know the levels of abuse and threats police officers are subjected to here. Many yobs quickly call out for their mates to come and try to intimidate the officers, what chance will they have if they can't physically restrain a suspect who doesn't cooperate.

There is a difference between arresting a suspect and watching a fellow
officer hold a suspect down for 8 minutes with a knee on his neck.

If police can't see difference they are in wrong job.

*hold a suspect down for 8 minutes with a knee on his neck, with hands in pockets to look nonchalant. The other officers should be charged for not stopping him, but there are people above who kept putting this man back on the job after many transgressions. They should be removed really.

strange opening post, the policeman was not restraining the suspect, he was trying to choke him, you don't restrain someone by reducing their oxygen intake, that's what happens when you apply force to the neck, that's attempted murder, in this case, murder.

Let's see if any of these others say, in a plea bargaining exercise, that the office who did the kneeling actually said he intended to kill Floyd. Then the second degree murder charge (second degree murder has to have some from of intention) would stick much easier.  And that is exactly what the US authorities now want to do so that they can satisfy the outrage from the public.

Nothing would surprise me about the US justice system. I have no sympathy at all for what these officers did but if mob rule sees the charges hiked up the murder scale we are in a sorry state.

I don't care about the police officers but we cannot have mob rule and hysteria dictating the punishment for some crimes and not for the majority of others.

I agree largely with what The Knight says ,but cannot believe they all or the one police officer went there with the intent of killing the guy ,in an attempt to restrain him the one cop used an unwise method of kneeling on the guys neck ,and will rightly pay the consequences for that ,but to prove intent even with him and certainly with the other 3 would be very difficult normally ,but this is so high profile now that normal courtroom procedures may not apply here.

Sorry if it sounded strange darren, when i 1st read the original thread of his death on here, someone stated that under the guidance or rules of restraint of this states police force, a police officer was allowed to place his knee on a suspects neck to help to restrain him as long as it didn't obstruct his airway. (Whether this is true or not i don't know myself), all i am saying is whatever you think of that officers actions the other police officers were nowhere near his neck as far as i could see, really don't see how they could be charged with murder if, as they would say they were just restraining him.

My point was more concerned with how could the police in future restrain someone resisting arrest if they could potentially be prosecuted for manslaughter or similar very serious charges.

From what i have seen when 1st handcuffed he sat quite calmly against a wall and only started to resist being put in the police car when next to it, a lot of people try to resist being arrested.

Escapee, don't know why you would think it's to difficult a question for me to offer an opinion.

I'm pretty sure that the person who pulls the trigger is the only one who would get charged with murder, the others might get charged with aiding and abetting a murderer, but i think you'd have to prove they knew the shooter was going to shoot the homeowner. Think that would be difficult to prove. From the videos i've seen they were restraining him lower down his body, why it took so long to try to stand him up is difficult to understand. As emitdeb stated if you've been policing for years you wouldn't expect one of your team to deliberately kill someone who was already under control, and i'm not excusing it either.

Stewart,

In UK and, under the law known as "The Law Of Joint Enterprise" all 4 would be tried for murder.

There was a case about 2 or 3 years ago where even the getaway driver who didn't get out of the car was tried and convicted of the same charge as the actual murderer.

It's also often used to convict both parents in cases of child neglect/infanticide.

There is no requirement to show that the 'accomplices' new that murder might happen, just either there was group intent on criminal enterprise, or they stood by and did nothing.
Report stewarts rise June 4, 2020 6:52 PM BST
Ok, fair enough wasn't sure, but would they receive the same sentences as the actual shooter? That's in the UK but does that apply in the USA?
The one officer didn't appear to even be involved in the restraint, what was he supposed to do, draw his weapon on his fellow officers and order them to get off him, i don't pretend to know the answer to this but if convicted could be a very slippery slope for police officers.

I think this is legally difficult. If the officers were aware that Floyd was in danger of losing his life then they are culpable and should be charged appropriately, probably second degree murder. If they heard Floyd say he couldn't breath then I think that would be sufficient evidence. If they say they didn't hear him then I'm not sure what happens.

what business is it of the uk what goes on in the u.s? many worse things happen in almost every other country worldwide but we must protest only when something commonplace in others happens in one or two only. in large parts of the world arbitrary arrest and killing happens all the time, with no video or protest marches. we dont care about these, otherwise we'd be on permanent vigil.

there are a terrifying number of murders in u.s. cities every week(look at the murder rates in chicago or baltimore) and plod has to deal with these homicidal out of control people as as a matter of routine. and with u.s. law being so harsh when it comes to repeat offending, many resist arrest to avoid incarceration, sometimes with tragic result
 
u.s. plod have a horrible job trying to police an orgy of violence. it must be demoralising and and understandably, it takes a toll, the result of which is what we see now. 
this murderous anarchy has been going on for some time, and has led to the phenomenon of 'black flight', but nobody talks about it. many cities are war zones, but these black lives dont seem to matter. 
black lives dont matter when they are killed by black people, but when the white man can be blamed, here we go. again. some of you will be saying thats a specious argument, as this is a matter of racist law enforcement, not civil strife, but when you look at law enforcement in black majority countries you discover that the rate of death in custody is miles ahead  that of the u.s. eg, the number of people killed by the jamaican police service(similar all over the windies)  over the last decade is 1400, from a population of under 3 million. a mind-boggling number that you could probably multiply many times over if any african state kept proper records. 

racism has to be the reason for the status of black people in western societies, because if it is not then we will have to draw some uncomfortable conclusions. and nobody is willing to do that
a fact ignored is that the safest place to be a black male is far safer wherever there are large numbers of white people. those in denial will deride or deplore this hypothesis, but what they will not do is say it aint true. the truth, it seems, is racist

Yes and no elis.

They had been working for months but unfortunately under the supervision of Chauvin. They were probably under probation prior and then maybe off probation and in their first technical full week. It was not their first week on the job.

Any sympathy for them comes in the fact that he was their role model and reporting officer. Can you imagine working in lets say an office and some older geezer gets up on the top rung of a step ladder stretches on tiptoe to get a file or asks a young person to do it. Would you tell the senior man to stop immediately because he is not only braking health and safety law but risking serious injury? Not a great example perhaps but how do you tell a murderous thug who is your boss with 18 odd complaints for use of excessive force and has been involved in death of suspects to get the fcuk off his neck?

I hope the two junior officer do get convicted. I am not sure about how they get punished. The other officer was also some sort of sadist. He was a senior man with plenty of complaints against him for violence too. I would not expect much leniency for him. Chauvin I believe should be charged with murder in the first degree.

One of the suggested to Chauvin that Floyd be rolled on his side. Chauvin disagreed. I just can't see this guy being given 40 years and then we will have the riots when the not guilty verdict is read out.

America is lost at the minute, with all this happening mayors are now talking about cutting police budgets while they work 12 hour shifts getting spat on, shot, assaulted with no days off. Who would want to be a cop?

Just in case you don't want to open a link

Two US police officers have been suspended after they were filmed shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground, leaving him bleeding on the pavement.

The distressing footage, shot in Buffalo, New York, shows the white-haired man approaching a line of officers in riot gear as protests across the country continued into their tenth night following the death of George Floyd.

One officer nudges the elderly demonstrator with a baton before a second forcefully pushes him with his hand.

The pensioner stumbles backwards and hits the ground with a sickening crack. Blood can then be seen pooling around the man's head as officers appear to continue walking past.


You called me a liar and said it was bullsheite.

(Reuters) - Two Buffalo, New York, police officers were suspended without pay on Thursday after a video showed them shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground,

I understand if you are just a wind up merchant, fair enough. Throw the grenade, watch the show and have a laugh. I do that too at times tbf. If you genuinely think I have been lying or am trying to distort the truth I sincerely tell you I am not. These things are happening in America now.

This is my stance as well. As essential as essential gets and being completely hung out to dry to appease the mob that they are at the same time being sent out to control. Madness.

He's carrying a crash helmet, thinks he's gonna reason with the Riot Police Crazy

Gets pushed as if he was a drunken old lady. He lost his footing as plain as day!

elis,

I think he sight of a big strong man calling for his mother shook a lot of people to the core while a Policeman kneeled over him with his hand in his pocket while three other Policemen with guns stopped startled and scared members of the public from stopping him kill the man on the ground.

I would ask you what you would do if you saw a thug on the street in your home town do that to a dog. Now imagine you were on your own and the thug had his gang members with him stopping you from freeing the dog. I suggest you might be a little scared and have to think about your approach before you confronted them ( or maybe you might just lose it and attack the man. We don't always know how we react ).

Those civilians feared they would be shot dead if they tried to stop the killing, that much I am sure.

I do not shed a tear for an armed robber who got killed just like Mark Duggan in this country. Far from shedding a tear I felt thank God one less scumbag was around to terrorise people in area's that I might frequent.

The violence against peaceful protesters and press and film crews is really scary.

Not sure I know who Tom Allen is.

Listen Emit. There is no crime about how you think but it is good to know when a man thinks it is funny when a 75 year old man gets pushed to the ground and his head cracks open.

I have a better understanding of you now. I get a perspective of what type of man you are. See it's good to talk. Communication is the key!

Just to go back to:
a fact ignored is that the safest place to be a black male is far safer wherever there are large numbers of white people. those in denial will deride or deplore this hypothesis, but what they will not do is say it aint true. the truth, it seems, is racist grappler • June 4, 2020 7:25 PM BST

"and please dont give me the flannel about black people congregating for their own safety. the 'black flight' from places like chicago is well known." grappler • June 4, 2020 8:25 PM BST

I suggest everyone should read this to see what did, and what still does, go on:
