so there might be some jurisdictional wrangles. The mayor has called for them to be charged, so I think we'll see it pretty soon.

has me boiling with anger.

THAT MOTHERFUCKER

He'll probably be charged with manslaughter, but a reckless disregard for somebody's life should carry a more serious charge... AT LEAST second degree murder.

He Possibly could have been revived. Cops know CPR. They killed him deliberately and should go to prison.

and he is pissed. He wants murder charges brought against the thug who killed Floyd and doesn't understand why none have been brought.

They should start with a murder 1 and then go down to murder 2 if they have to.
Let him go to parole meetings for the rest of his life, that are so packed he will never get out.
