If those cops had stopped for a donut on the way to that call, they would have found him dead in his car from an overdose. His name wouldn’t have even made the obituary. Now the guy has been turned into a saint. The cops didn’t kill him, but they certainly allowed him to die face down in the street.
There are charges that they should probably face, but murder isn’t one of them.
I would guess that the trials will take at least a year. Finding an impartial jury will be impossible. But by all rational legal standards they should be found not guilty of murder. And I can picture the riots that will take place in Minneapolis when and if that happens. They shouldn’t rebuild anything in Minneapolis until after the trial.
Wasn't Ian living in Minneapolis most of the years he was on Coast (the whitest city he could find to live in), and an Episcopalian minister (the whitest and snobbiest religious group he could find)? He seemed comfortable there.
I somehow just associated the rest of Minneapolis with that - and given the politicians they elected, the aftermath there about abolishing the police, turning their neighborhoods over to homeless pukes, etc, it still seems about right.
Too bad he doesn't have a bunch of crankheads living in his backyard and a burned out liquor store next door, he could do a virtue signaling show about that.
