Red States: Full Body Cam Video from Two of the Minneapolis Police Officers Undercuts Charges Filed By Minnesota AG Keith Ellison I felt from the beginning that Ellison overcharged in this case and this video is going to make it extremely difficult for Ellison to prevail. It also should have been released before the emotional reaction to the cell phone video that stirred the passions of the country and the mobs. What appears to bee clear is that Floyd was not compliant with the arresting officers. When you tie that to his drugged condition it just does not make for a second degree murder conviction.
Red States: ... It seems that there were some very odd things happening on the ground in Arizona and one video making the rounds on Twitter shows something that could be an attempt at voter suppression. User “dowhatlightsyou” shows a video being filmed by a man talking to a woman. According to him, they were invalidating votes by handing out sharpie pens to people when ball-point pens are the only valid way of filling out a ballot. According to the woman, a man came out and yelled at her three times to stop handing out the ballpoint pens, allowing only sharpies to be used. The Twitter user also claimed that she, too, was handed a sharpie when she went to vote as well. According to ABC15 , they received several messages on election day that sharpies were indeed being handed out and those who did use sharpies did not have their ballots counted while those who used ballpoint pens did. Maricopa county gave instructions saying that using sharpies were fine so long as red-ink wasn’t used
