Meanwhile, from high atop the bundled linens in his bed deep inside the White House, the POTUS tweets:

The National Guard has arrived on the scene. They are in Minneapolis and fully prepared. George Floyd will not have died in vain. Respect his memory!!!

-------

He wants so desperately to be viewed as The Man in charge but tough news is the MNNG is under the jurisdiction of the Governor of MN....so pretty much no one gives a crap what Tiny thinks about yet another topic

Arrest the thug cop and stop politicizing everything. Jesus fuck, not everything said or done is political.

We are a Police force in Afghanistan so why not here?

Afghan civilians and U.S. civilians aren't the same thing.

Got a 3rd degree murder charge just now.

Got a 3rd degree murder charge just now.

Seems like a charge to calm the storm...

Not sure it will stick...

Plea deal coming...

Or in between now and the trial some other "incident" will happen to divert attention.....What was that Covid deal again?

Active duty forces by law cannot engage in law enforcement actions.

Coast Guard does, which obviously doesn't apply to Minnesota. MPs do enforce federal law, which could maybe apply there, but probably not. Insurrection Act gives the president the authority to use the military to enforce laws

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State or Territory by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion..

Trump already used this to deport illegal immigrants after he decided against building The Wall.

And if he was silent, I suspect you would condemn that too.

Quit fussing about the white cop shown on video killing an unarmed, non-contensious black civilian

Just be glad that MN police successfully arrested a black/Latino reporter from CNN while he was broadcasting live and clearly speaking "We will move to wherever you tell us".....and at same time they ignored the other three white CNN crew standing right next to him

We do not need media focusing on the crimes of police v civilians.....that's just cheap clickbait and probably Fake News

We need more hours of coverage re Tyrone killing Pancho on the south side of Chicago

Remember, it was declared almost a year ago that CNN is the Enemy of the People, which means any arrest of them is completely justified: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1137697507218264064

There is no law in America that protects the press or their freedoms.

No condemnation....just sophmoric taunting

I don't know what else to tell you or how else to say it nicely. Title 10 Federal Active duty forces cannot enforce state laws in U.S. States. They can't and won't. It's illegal. Can they man a desk while a state cop goes out to enforce laws? Yes they can but AD forces cannot enforce state law.

I hope this fuking pussy cries like a baby in court....I just hope that he is found guilty.....

They can enforce federal law. But nice of you to pick nits out of shit and keep reminding us about state laws, which no one else mentioned and the president doesn't bother with anyway. Exact wording of the law: use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws.

WTF Federal Law would Title 10 Active Duty forces enforce in Minnesota? What are you talking about?

All the laws that roadreeler wanted enforced when he said Trump might have to send in the Marines. If there are no federal laws that need enforcement, he wouldn't have said that.

Has it occurred to you DT doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about and thinks the Marines can solve all the problems when in all reality they can't do certain things in our country?

 

[SgtLanquel]

This just isn't true at all.

If you arrest someone, you can only hold them for 24-48 hours without charging them. If you're going to arrest someone, you need to have the intention to charge them and if you overcharge them, they will walk.

This is the stuff of television drama shows

Prosecutors can choose to escalate or to diminish charges all the way through a jury verdict/guilty plea bargain

I will return later w links to three different legal experts who can help anyone truly interested in the current case consider the actual upcoming sequence of jurispudence

 

[SgtLanquel]

First, just a few baseline points of order

Via Harry Litman, former USAttorney and current law professor at UCLA:

Derek Chauvin charged with 3rd degree murder. Minnesota one of only 3 states to have that charge on the books. Roughly equates to "depraved-heart" murder or causing death unintentionally but by an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind."

-----

He then opines:

It's the right charge under Minnesota law. 2nd degree still requires proof that he intended to cause death. an overcharge there could well lead to an acquittal. And sentence for 3rd degree is up to 25 years.
