**THE LAW AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY
The law has always been "an ass" where fancy lawyers can have murderers released citing "precedents" and incorrectly dated or worded statements! Todays technology allows us to see a murder being committed live, being filmed by a passer bye, an officer of the law depriving a pleading man of air by kneeling on his throat and applying extra pressure using his arm to increase the deadly manoeuvre. No lies from the perpetrators of the murder of George Floyd can be accepted and no mitigation can be allowed. Is a trial really necessary to establish anything in these circumstances or is it all old school bullshit? The system needs to change to include indisputable fact with no need of court cases.
Is a trial really necessary? Yes. In the United States it is. US Senate just passed an anti lynching bill, with Rand Paul being the line dissenter (I guess he supports lynching) That would go for these officers as well. No I don't think they should be lynched.
