ONGOING CRIME BREAKING NEWS!

Starting in January 2020, this thread is about the news as it breaks!

Bernard Madoff says he is dying and is asking a judge for compassionate release from prison, where he is serving 150 years for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, according to a Wednesday federal court filing.

Madoff, 81, has terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. When the court sentenced him, “it was clear that Madoff’s 150-year prison sentence was symbolic for three reasons: retribution, deterrence, and for the victims,” the court filing states. “This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated … is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society’s value and understanding of compassion.”

Madoff said in the request for compassionate release that he “does not dispute the severity of his crimes.”

Well breaking news just interrupted my show, at least locally. The mayor of Mpls is calling for charges against the arresting officer in the death of George Floyd.
 
He is calling on the Hennepin County attorney to arrest the officer. Not sure if that means it will happen or he just is giving his opinion and "calling" for it.

Yes. This one is really heated right now too and hotter by the moment. I saw just the short clip and I gather it goes on for an excruciating five minutes at least. With a technique not even approved, while he was obviously in distress and people around were asking them to let up some. Unless I missed it, these officers have not even been named, much less the one who was the one who did it. Nice they have that protection... I can't get over how dumb some officers are (not all, there are many good ones), in this day and age? People with cell phones and video? How does someone like that get on a force or stay on the force? Smh.

I can't believe they not one of the other multiple officers on site didn't step in either. None of them.

I know right? The mayor also mentioned four officers were a pretty big response for what the call was about, overly responded to it sounded like. Not saying that is fact, it is a big city but these were his words. In the short clip I saw, you could hear people around asking them to ease up, etc. and I don't suppose those people dared interfere either with four officers.

Now what is normally our Covid update is the governor with this matter again. Daily Blast Live also had it so I will bet it is nationwide news easily.
