  1. Top from last 48 hrs
    Many of Derek Chauvin's law enforcement colleagues disagree with how he restrained George Floyd. Here's how they have testified.
    ABC News (Moderate Left) • Credibility Grade 79% • 9 min read

    Sgt. David Pleoger, now retired, had been Chauvin's supervisor since 2008 and was working as his supervisor on the night of May 25, the day Floyd died. Pleoger said that [Minneapolis Police Department] policy did allow officers to use a knee to restrain a subject but only until that subject is handcuffed and under control.
    ...
    Prosecutor Steve Schleicher pressed Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo on whether Chauvin's actions followed department policies. Arradondo replied that applying "that level of force" administered to a person in the prone position and handcuffed behind their back is "in no way, shape or form" part of department policy.
    ...
    Lt. Johnny Mercil, a use-of-force instructor at the Minneapolis Police Department later said that he did not believe it would be appropriate to hold a subject in that prone restraint position for an extended period. Chauvin faces charges of manslaughter, second-degree murder and third-degree murder in Floyd's death.

Yes - According to the Supreme Court they can and the Republicans praised that ruling. Additionally, as a consumer, I want to know where companies stand so I can add or subtract my economic influence. When companies disengaged from their communities and turned their focus solely on the board rooms, the negative impacts were wide and deep in this country. It's time for that trend to be reversed.


No - The stakeholders of a corporation (e.g., leadership, employees, and stockhol...
