Name that country ! Merkin gets charged with 2nd degree murder in the most publicized death in the last decade or so ................ and walks out on bail.
He's not the one who actually killed the guy though. Does he deserve prison? He should lose his job but I feel a murder charge is an overreaction.

I agree, but does that mean he committed a murder or just failed at his job?Nonfeasance may not apply to the general public, but an officer of the law ? Hell yeah - it's part of what he swore to the badge and his flag. A cop just can't stand by and watch a murder and not intervene.

He's potentially an accessory to the murderer or worse an accomplice. He passively acquiesced and allowed the murder to take place. The side kicks stood there for 8 minutes and 43 seconds and failed to intervene.
It doesn't mean they knew he was going to die. I reckon close to 100% of troublemakers being restrained would complain about their spine or being unable to breathe.He's potentially an accessory to the murderer or worse an accomplice.

The only problem with that is, why did he need to be restrained in that position for so long? He was already cuffed and there were 4 cops there. Were they waiting for back up?It doesn't mean they knew he was going to die. I reckon close to 100% of troublemakers being restrained would complain about their spine or being unable to breathe.

Probably just taking the opportunity to bully a violent criminal.The only problem with that is, why did he need to be restrained in that position for so long? He was already cuffed and there were 4 cops there. Were they waiting for back up?
The types of people who need to be restrained are happy to f**k the police around, or they wouldn't need to be restrained.You reckon close to 100%? Is that based on the excessive force that is used, or because the perpetrators are just whingers?
I heard the audio over the 8'43". There was plenty of bystanders pleading with all officers to let him breathe.It doesn't mean they knew he was going to die. I reckon close to 100% of troublemakers being restrained would complain about their spine or being unable to breathe.
The 'Asian merkin' is a cop. His race is irrelevant.I heard the audio over the 8'43". There was plenty of bystanders pleading with all officers to let him breathe.
His only angle I'd say is that two if the side kicks were rookies and fear of insubordination might be their plea. The asian merkin closest with his back to Floyd is toast IMO.
Knee boy will go for a row. The others will be schooled in the art of making number plates at best.Probably just taking the opportunity to bully a violent criminal.
As I said, they deserve to lose their jobs, but I doubt any of them will go down for murder. The actual killer might get jail time for manslaughter or some assault charge.
