Police Officers Found Guilty and Complicit

How standing by while a man is murdered goes against the oath, to protect and serve.

While standing idle by as a Minnesota police, Derrick Chauvin, squeezed the last breath of our George Floyd’s body while holding his knee to Floyd’s neck is just as tragic as taking this man’s life. There is a penalty to be paid for being an accomplice in a crime that could have been avoided.

As Derrick Chauvin now sits behind bars hopefully for the rest of his life, now the three officers who assisted him, whom the whole world saw stood idle by as many protesters tried to come to the defense of George Floyd seeing that he needed medical attention but were blocked from intervening. These cops on the scene did not attempt to provide medical assistance as the world witnessed the murder of George Floyd happening right before millions of eyes.

Deservingly so in St. Paul, Minnesota, these three ex-cops have been found guilty of violating George Floyd’s civil rights and were charged with depriving Floyd of medical care during this deadly 2020 incident.

Ex-officers, Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane had 9 1/2 minutes to prevent George Floyd’s death who was handcuffed and facedown on the street, May 25, 2020, but they chose to stand idle by as George Floyd not only died before their eyes but the world at large.

Thao and Lane failed to intervene to stop Chauvin and were charged for their inaction and Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back, Lane held his legs and Thao kept bystanders at bay. Their actions conveyed they had no intention to provide much-needed medical care to Floyd but made every attempt to keep the public at bay.

These ex-officers, Kueng and Lane, in their self-defense claimed they deferred to Chauvin as the senior officer at the scene. Thao testified his job was to keep people at bay and the other two officers were responsible for the medical needs of George Floyd.

The blame game does not work because each is responsible for their own action as they took the oath to protect and serve the public and not at will but all the time regardless of color. When the senior officer is doing something wrong, it is up to the other officers to demand that proper protocol is followed and not look the other way. Providing one’s basic medical needs should be the first order of the day in an incident when life is threatened.

As these ex-officers await sentencing, they are out on bond after their month-long trial. The prosecutors’ argument, in this case, was that these former officers violated their training even while public bystanders could clearly see how dire the situation was as they called out to all the officers to provide medical assistance. The defense sought to say the officers’ training was inadequate and they did not willfully violate Floyd’s rights as the officer deferred to Chauvin.

Also, Lane, Kueng, and Thao are scheduled to face a separate trial in June on state charges for being complicit in murder and manslaughter.

In this court case, there were 12 members of the jury, eight women and four men as their ethnicity have not been released by the court. They were selected from throughout the state of Minnesota. Regardless, it is noteworthy to see that they held the officers to the high standards of the law finding them guilty.

In conclusion, when you do the crime, you have got to the time. Transparency and accountability need to be upfront with law enforcement, the police union, and no qualified immunity.
