“Why the officers fired for the George Floyd killing could ultimately get their jobs back”


https://news.yahoo.com/devastating-why-fired-us-police-141931102.html

Please, someone say this can’t be true! This cannot be allowed to happen! The officer who murdered this man should have been terminated long ago for prior complaints against him.

“The Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd's neck had 18 previous complaints against him, police department says.”

But, the sad part is the rioting and burning by thugs is overshadowing the murder of George Floyd. The focus should be on him and prosecuting the officers who were responsible for his murder.

The looting, rioting, burning, attacking and beating a woman in a wheel chair solves nothing! Destroying businesses, apartment buildings who serve the Black community are now gone. What did it accomplish? Mr. Floyd is still dead. So now who suffers? The folks who depended on those stores within walking distance such as the elderly. The thugs could care less about them as they looted and burned retailers! The haul of stolen goods were more important than their families including elderly grandparents and the handicapped.

That one officer that has a past will go work at a city that in friends with Minnapolis so he won't lose his years or pension. The others will get there job back after a month with back pay. That is how a union works.

The other 3 should also be arrested! Another city in chaos run by Democrats!

Just for the Trump haters:

”1. Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District
Rep. Ilhan Omar (Democratic Party)
Poverty rate: 37.2% black; 9.4% white
Unemployment rate: 12.3% black; 4.0% white
Homeownership rate: 19.8% black; 63.1% white

Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District covers the city of Minneapolis. Rep. Ilhan Omar was elected to represent the district in 2018. She is the first refugee and Somali-American woman ever to serve in the U.S. Congress.

Black area residents are about four times more likely to live below the poverty line than white residents and three times more likely to be unemployed. Disparate outcomes along racial lines in the district are largely the legacy of historic racism. Minneapolis is one of several Midwestern cities that enacted restrictive housing covenants and exclusionary zoning policies in the early 20th century. These policies impact residential patterns to this day.

I like how black people are made responsible for their entire cultural community, while a bad white person is probably allowed to be a lost cause, a blip in the statistics, a black sheep.

If a white person does something bad, it never seems to reflect badly on their white community or culture. It's just a bad apple.
