Fuck this entire lockdown
Fuck the virus
Fuck social distancing
Fuck the term “new normal”
Fuck the fact we even have to have this conversationFuck the fact that if they charged him with murder 1 he would probably skate. Murder 3 he's gonna go to prison for sure. With murder 3 you don't have to prove he intended to kill Mr. Floyd, which would be hard to prove. It will be almost impossible for him to get off the murder 3 charge given that video. And there will be other charges. And other arrests (I really hope).
And FUCK police brutality in total and in all it's forms.
I don't think it's just proof, but actual intent. For most "murder", you need to prove the person intended to kill the other person. You can prove this in many ways, but the key is you have facts that show the person intended to kill another.Fuck the fact that if they charged him with murder 1 he would probably skate.

In my state, we have a 2nd degree murder statute that also includes what is known as "abandoned heart" murder. That is the type Minnesota charges as 3rd degree murder. How those differ from what most think of as "murder" is that intent can be presumed if someone does something inherently dangerous without a good reason (aka depraved mind) that results in the death of another, he can be guilty. An example is something like shooting a firearm at an occupied residence. A person might not have intended to kill anyone inside, but if someone dies from the shooting, it will be charged as murder.
Did the officer intend to kill George Floyd that day?
I am appalled at the actions taken and am very glad all officers directly involved were fired immediately. I am also glad a murder charge is pending. But, if I were on the jury, without more, I would not find he intended to kill him. I agree if they solely charged him with murder 1 he might very well skate. What I disagree with is that his act should be overcharged because people are (rightfully) enraged. Fuck that.
