Obviously at least 3 of them were directly involved in restraining George Floyd. IMO these three officers will be indicted for manslaughter, homicide, or murder. The 4th officer seen standing near Floyd's head is likely to face lessor charges IMO.

He stood there and intimidated the crowd from trying to help while Floyd was being tortured and murdered he deserves to be charged with murder too imo.
Hopefully this will bring an end to the rioting... George Floyd's family has asked for peaceful protests only.

Not if he gets bail.
3rd Degree Murder and Manslaughter (most likely involuntary). I could see them pleaing it down to invol. manslaughter.
The former Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on George Floyd’s neck was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, prosecutors said.

Minneapolis will be under a curfew Friday night, with the National Guard on the streets.
This is far less of an appropriate charge given what we've seen as evidence. Unless there is something that the general public does not know this only adds insult to injury.
I think he may face Federal charges regardless. If you kneel on a persons neck for 8 minutes that is straight up murder.
This is how you know if a prosecutor is in bed with the cops or not. If not, as in the Zimmerman case, then you get a murder charge that should have been manslaughter. If so, as is obvious in this case, you get a manslaughter charge that should be murder. Dopes one and all.
