I have a big problem with the 3rd degree murder indictment. But it is understandable considering the circumstances.

The biggest problem with 1st and 2nd degree murder is you have to prove intent. In the case of 1st degree you often need premeditation as well. Sure we all know the cop's intent was to kill Mr. Floyd, but prosecutors felt that placing that decision in the hands of a jury was dangerous. Case in point look at the former DA lady that was looking good for Biden's VP (not a chance in hell now ) - in Minneapolis under her there were 12 cases of black victims killed by cops that went to a grand jury and didn't even get an indictment. That means they didn't even think an investigation was warranted. That's a problem in Minneapolis that goes beyond the police force

So with the 3rd degree murder charge the prosecutors simply have to prove that placing your knee on someone's neck like that could kill them. That's a slam dunk. Or should be
