Dem Anger Grows at Klobuchar Earlier Failure to Prosecute Cop Involved in George Floyd Killing
“Amy Klobuchar has more contempt for her own staffers than she does for bad cops.”
Sen. Amy Klobuchar came under fire on Wednesday when a report revealed that back in 2006 she did not prosecute the policeman who allegedly murdered George Floyd. Kemberlee noted that she blew her chance to become Biden’s VP.
But the left and right came out in full force on social media, dragging Klobuchar through the burning coals for her horrible decision.
Here are a few reactions I found on Twitter:
In 2006 Amy Klobuchar, then a district attorney, declined to bring charges against a cop who had shot and killed a Native American man.
Two days ago that cop, Derek Chauvin, murdered George Floyd.
Amy Klobuchar needs to resign.

This will end Amy Klobuchar’s chance of becoming Joe Biden’s VP, which is poetic justice. I worked at the Hennepin County Public Defender during law school while she was County Attorney. She was FAR from progressive, and her presidential rebranding effort has been tough to watch. https://t.co/IMtO2Wsnof

It turns out @amyklobuchar could’ve saved George Floyd’s life if she’d only done her job as Hennepin County Attorney and prosecuted Ex-Cop Derek Chauvin instead of tossing poor blacks in jail in order to win Republican votes and saunter into the Senate. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Amy Klobuchar protected the cop who murdered #GeorgeFloyd.
Just like Kamala Harris kept innocent Jamal Trulove behind bars.
Just like Joe Biden wrote the Crime Bill that put the prison-industrial-complex on steroids.
They all work for the system. None of them work for you. https://t.co/f7FKZXfWaJ

Have a hard time seeing Biden picking @amyklobuchar given the circumstances.

A lot of good choices for Biden’s VP, and Amy Klobuchar sure as hell ain’t one of them.

If Joe Biden wants to depress Black turnout he should definitely pick Amy Klobuchar so we can sit around talking about the crime bill and her flubbed response on George Floyd and her impulse to go easy on cops.

Soooo Amy Klobuchar’s Vice Presidential ambitions died today.

I’m happy to report that there is now zero chance Amy Klobuchar is going to be the VP pick. Good riddance.

Klobuchar’s minimal visibility as this horror unfolded in her home state is a tacit admission of guilt.

The police have too much power in this country.

Oh AMY! Why am I NOT surprised by this news… “And while in that position, Klobuchar declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force, including the officer who kneeled on Floyd’s neck” #WokeAF https://t.co/7FERvBUvwl

The police officer who killed George Floyd was also part of 3 other police shootings of civilians, incl. one while Klobuchar was county prosecutor.
Klobuchar did not press charges against him, & so many others: https://t.co/iiKPK4UUZ8

Would it break up the lynch mobs too much to wait for the autopsy. What’s the rush.
Bits of prior video might be interesting too.
What cause of death do you feel would absolve Officer Chauvin?
Anything other than asphyxia (lack of oxygen) or strangulation. Which it looks like neither were the case here if you believe the statements in the Chauvin charging document.

Given how long Officer Chauvin kept the “choke hold” going, I do not believe anything in the autopsy could “absolve” the officers, but it might mitigate the charges that I otherwise see rising above the Murder-3 charge on Chauvin.
Whether we read it or kept in the dark, I believe the new revelation they worked bar security together a year ago is going to be significant. This was personal.
From the charging document:
Of course, that’s not going to go over well with the usual suspects (Hi, Benji Crump!) if the final ME report concludes he didn’t die of asphyxia or strangulation so expect any number of “re-evaluations of the autopsy” until they get the findings they want for prosecution.

Baden already has that conclusion written up
Now, he’ll just go through the motions of doing an autopsy
He’ll release his findings when he his daily planner is full of paid gigs on national news
And as predicted here is the demand for an “independent autopsy” because they ME didn’t give them the results they were looking for so that they could railroad the defendants into life in prison.

It doesn’t Matter. A black man died and there is video of a PO kneeing his neck
All mayhem including anything, anything that happens during the riots will be forgiven of the rioters.
It’s open season in Minneapolis
This couldn’t happen to a more lovely woman… not.
Well, bless her little heart…
This is starting to remind me of the “Biden is finished” chorus we we have been hearing for some time. Like Biden, no matter what Klobuchar may or may not have done the mandarins of the Democrat Party do not let the unwashed heathen proles tell them what to do – period.
Whether Klobuchar is the Democrat VP nominee or not will depend solely on whether she gives the ticket a boost. If the Democrat Party leadership decides she does, all of this negative publicity will vanish in the blink of an eye.
This guy was involved in 3 shootings prior to the Floyd incident? That seems like a lot considering most officers never discharge their weapons in the line of duty.
Don’t forget that this is Mogadishu-St. Paul. They had that Somali wanker copper shoot that foreign (white) woman….(gee…no riots then.). This is Rodney King all over again…The police not sensing when to stop subduing someone already subdued. Now the the city has the problem of not subduing the rioters they need subduing. In the later case, the Left will fail just like in Baltimore and LA.
The guy was a 19 year veteran. Depending on his assignments and his luck, during those two decades, three shooting incidents, at least one of which involved multiple officers, is not an especially large number. Most criminals decide to surrender or run, when facing an armed LEO. However, a certain percentage of them will choose to fight, including with firearms. If that happens, the LEO’s response options are limited.
Stacy Abrams going, pick me, pick me, pick me

These attacks on Klobuchar are nothing more than the attempts of the left to remove her as a potential VP pick. It is political gamesmanship. They desperately want an obviously black woman as VP, because she is going to be President within 2 years of Biden’s inauguration.
I give it until the end of January in the unlikely event Creepy Uncle Joe wins. He could conceivably be removed before the inauguration he’s that far gone. His behavior reminds me of my father in law as he deteriorated.
I believe this is the major part of why there is no declared VP candidate. If the MSM, Deep State, and Bilderberg financiers can carry Sleazy Joe across the finish line I expect him to be outed by 26th A after the election, after the electoral College has voted, or very shortly after the inauguration…
They (each group separately) desperately need a first string candidate while vehemently disagreeing as to who is an adequately first string replacement.
From Yahoo, apparently the man the officer shot in 2006 “was involved in the shooting death of a man who had stabbed other people before attacking police”…
I think we’ll all understand if a prosecuting attorney refuses to indict an officer who took down a perpetrator who was stabbing people. I understand how it’s being played this morning, but second-guessing 13 years later what was at the time considered to be justifiable is unfair to everyone, including the city.
From what I’ve read, the police officer who put his knee into the neck of Mr. Floyd had problems. He may well have had PTSD, or had seen and done too much to be an effective officer, or just had a bad attitude. From what we know today (and we’ll learn more, to be sure), he should not have been on the street.
None of this justifies the death of Mr. Floyd, and none of this justifies the rioting and looting.
Over the next few months we will see a constant stream of Russiagate disclosures. My personal conspiracy theory is that key players have consented to testify to malfeasance in exchange for no prosecution.
I’m holding my breath for Judge Sullivan’s next move. Some legal scholar needs to explain what form of ending will have the least awful optics. It seems that the Judge desperately wants to put the blame on someone else.
Wow those idiots actually make me feel bad for Amy Klobuchar.
Not that I want her anywhere near the White House mind you.
I’m sure she would have loved to nail a police officer for something just to prove she’s tough on police.
At the very least this shows that she did a semi-competent job in the sense that she wasn’t trying to burn every officer that came across her desk because of her politics.
But there is no honor among thieves….ER…. DEMOCRATS…
In the good old days they didn’t have to kill somebody first; The Community could go on a looting orgy with the tiniest excuse, like a power outage. So I suppose in that sense, things are improving.
Violated the one D-party commandment: she got caught.
How do them bus wheels feel Amy?
The evil is bipartisan support of the police. You can transpose Al Sharpton by changing Black to Blue and it sounds like Sean Hannity. The Democrats are into graft and corruption and the Police need their pensions and benefits. They are protecting the corruption.
Conservatives at least think the Norman Rockwell paintings, or the small town “Oh, Joe, I go to church with him” as opposed to the invasive species version (the NJ gym’s initial cops said “your in violation, have a nice day”, so they brought in another department to shut them down.
Liberals/Progressives are just stupid or evil. Anyone could go to one of the places where there are problems, almost all deep blue democrat – California is particularly bad (I subscribe to police abuse sites, and there is a geographic difference – OK is bad though red). They are in the majority, but vote the patronage candidate, or the socialist, not the one who will actually do anything to clean up the cops.
Not new – Serpico (NYC) dates from the 1970’s IIRC.
