All the officials are pledging to work for justice. We have wonderful Dems in charge at all levels: Governor, Mayors, Attorney General.

since he suggested turning Mr. Floyd on his side twice.

(9,070 posts)6. Was he the one that suggested that? I'm not sure which cop said it.
Either way I'm not saying he isn't culpable. I'm sayin he may not be considered as culpable (still should be arrested).
