One Of Four Police Officers Arrested In The
Murder Of George Floyd Has Made $750,000 Bail Due To Crowd FundingJune 12. 2020
Thomas Lane's mug shot
37-year-old ex-police officer, Thomas Lane, has
posted $750,000 bail, after being arrested with three colleagues for
the murder of unarmed black man, George Floyd. The incident set off
worldwide protests demanding an end to police brutality.
Lead police officer, Derek Chauvin, is the main
culprit that was arrested for murdering Floyd, via inexcusably and
unconscionably kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes. Chauvin remains
in custody and is potentially facing 40-years in prison if convicted
of the crime.
Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao
have all been fired and charged in the death of George Floyd
Lane and two fellow officers, Tou Thao and J.
Alexander Kueng, were arrested on aiding and abetting second degree
murder charges. All four men were fired for their criminal
misconduct. Lane has posted $750,000 bail from crowdfunding, paid
through PayPal, according to the Star Tribune newspaper. It's an
absolute disgrace that he received such a large sum in donations
after aiding in the murder of a defenseless man.
CNN is reporting, "Lane's attorney has said Lane,
while Chauvin was pressing on Floyd's neck, suggested more than once
that they roll the Floyd to his side, but Chauvin declined. 'I am
worried about excited delirium or whatever,' Lane said, according to
authorities' probable cause statement. 'That's why we have him on
his stomach,' Chauvin replied, according to the document. Lane had
been on the police force for four days when Floyd died and was
'doing everything he thought he was supposed to do as a four-day
police officer,' his attorney, Earl Gray, told CNN this week."
Murder victim George Floyd
They should have pulled Chauvin off Floyd. It became
very apparent in watching the video of the murder that Floyd was
pleading for his life and dying. I also get the feeling the murder
of Floyd was personal. Chauvin knew Floyd. He worked security with
him for a year at a night club.
I get the feeling Floyd knew too much about
something bad Chauvin had done and he wanted him dead. Hence
kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes, which any adult human being with
any sense knows would resulted in death.
