Judge lets ex-cop charged in Floyd's death live out of state

Source: Channel 3, Madison, WI

Citing safety concerns, a Minnesota judge on Friday issued new conditions of release for an ex-Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd that would allow him to live in a neighboring state while he awaits trial.

Derek Chauvin posted $1 million bond on Wednesday and was allowed to walk free from the maximum security state prison where he had been held for his safety since shortly after his arrest. Floyd died after Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for several minutes even after the handcuffed Black man pleaded for air before his death May 25. Chauvin was later charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

4. So when it is time for Chavin to go to trial, they will have to extradite him?

From the lilttle Nazi who killed the protestors, Chauvin's lawyer learned that all his client has to do is cross a state line and he can drag out the proceedings for months. Yeah, judge, good going.

Too bad he didn't have as much concern for George Floyd's safety before he was murdered.

6. Is it odd that I am not particularly concerned about him or his safety?

Yeah, that particular dipshit for lack of a better word, should have safety concerns.

THE END.

7. There are some places in S. Minn where he's considered a hero. No need to leave

the state. But maybe he'll catch Covid in one of the neighboring states, ALL of which have a hell of a lot higher new cases per capita than Minnesota.

Someone should check his voter registration. Bet you he is registered in Florida and Minnesota.
