Floyd died on Memorial Day, May 25 after then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee to Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
During that time, Floyd laid handcuffed on the ground – two other officers also holding him down, a fourth standing guard.
But I was just thinking…the larger-than-life question, the elephant on that sidewalk where Floyd died, is: why did none of the three other officers intervene while the evil faced, hands-in-pocket alleged murderer Chauvin performed his prolonged, demonic, fatal deed?
Hopkins has been very vocal in various media about his association’s position on the Floyd killing – particularly actions of the three rookie officers.
In a lengthy LinkedIn interview with broadcast journalist Tashara Parker, also a WFAA-TV (Channel 8) anchor, Hopkins said rookie officers are free to challenge a veteran officer; and in Floyd’s case, the three other officers should have stepped in to stop Chauvin.
