And since they have no evidence that the fourth cop participated they
have no reason to charge him with murder and hold him without bail or to
make the bail excessive.

The Judges will be wanting evidence of a crime before actually holding
the man in a jail cell without bail.  And as I said the other day, the
three that were kneeled on Mr. Floyd were participants in the murder.

The cop that was doing NOTHING, is likely to have all charges dropped
since he didn't have any part in the actual murder.  The fact he didn't
stop the murder could get him fired but there is no law about having to
save someone who is about to be killed. It would be a law that puts you
in harms way and that would be unconstitutional.

SO the end story is that a White guy did nothing to help kill George
Floyd while a *White a Black and an Asian* killed George Floyd.

That sounds like a Democrats approved, diverse non racist police force
that killed George Floyd, which suggests that there was no racism.  SO
why did Democrat MEDIA create the FAKE narrative about police racism in
the George Floyd death?

Did the police kill George Floyd, they sure did.

Was it racism.... as yet I don't see evidence that points to any racism.

SO the question becomes, WHY DID THE DEMOCRATS BURN AND LOOT AND KILL
PEOPLE in cities nation wide? Was it all just an election year Democrat
scam to keep their voters in their base and to build fear in them to get
them out to vote?
