Ex-Dirty Cop Thomas Lane Served A Federal Sandwich In The George Floyd Murder!

Dirty ex-cop got a little time to think.

The former Minneapolis police officer who refused to intervene when that dirty cop placed his knee on the neck of George Floyd has gotten a 2 1/2 bid in federal time out. 

Thomas Lane, learned his fate when he plead guilty to depriving Floyd of his civil rights. 

The Floyd family were pushing for a longer bid in federal time out but the court felt that it was appropriate.

Philonsie Floyd said that if this was a Black man, he would have gotten over 15 years to life. It would be a double standard he said. The dirty cop "did not intervene one way or another."

"I think that it's insulting that he didn't get the maximum amount of time because to me, if it was me, and that was accessory to murder, they would've have gave me the maximum amount of time," he said outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul. "And you're a police officer who was sworn to protect, who took an oath, and you didn't get the maximum amount of time."

He did not deserve to die.

George Floyd's nephew, Brandon Williams, was also critical of the sentencing, saying Lane performed CPR in the ambulance but not while Floyd was still alive, even though he knew what to do.

"I'm angry and fed up," Williams told KSTP on Thursday.

In a statement released after the sentencing, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division said Floyd's death makes clear the fatal consequences that can result from a police officer failing to intervene to protect people in their custody.

"Had this defendant and other officers on the scene with Derek Chauvin taken simple steps, George Floyd would be alive today," Clarke said. "This sentence should send a message that protecting people in custody is the affirmative duty and obligation of every law enforcement officer, regardless of one's rank or seniority."

Lane, along with former dirty cops J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao were found guilty of federal civil rights offenses in February. The federal servings examined whether the three failed to follow their code of ethics while working for the city of Minneapolis Police and the rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Derek Chauvin, the asshole who placed his goddamn knee on George Floyd's neck got 22.5 years in the iron college plus an additional 8 years for the federal sandwich. He will be eligible for in-house around 2039.
