My cousin is schizophrenic. My aunt says he often does not take his meds. He posts bizarre and disconnected things on facebook. I love him, worry about him, give him a break because I understand the problem, and would hate to see him abused because someone did not understand the situation. It's not his fault. Once upon a time he was a handsome young man who held such promise. It's a very sad thing. Just saying. Anyway...
Is the AG of Minnesota biased? Damn right Keith Ellison is biased. IMO he is over charging the police officers at the scene on purpose. Even if the main guy is convicted of 2nd degree murder, even if, the other officers are charged with aiding and abetting. I'm not a lawyer, but i'm pretty sure that means it would require that the jury is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that they had knowledge that the intent of the primary defendant was to kill Floyd. Couple that, what good lawyer is not going to bring up the fact that Floyd tested positive for Covid, especially given various CDC guidelines. Perhaps Covid as a contributory factor, thus something other than 2nd degree murder? It's going to be a shit show, and shit is going to burn....you know, whenever it is they get around to the trial.
Interesting and perhaps relevant....
CDC-19 Alert No. 2
March 24, 2020
Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test?
COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is
assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based
on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic
conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part
II. (See attached Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths)
"assumed" section bolding not my own, but directly from the CDC
