One of the four police officers charged over the death of George Floyd has been released from prison after paying a $750,000 (around £591,000) cash bail. Thomas Lane, 37, was freed from Hennepin County jail on Wednesday night, sheriff’s office records showed.

It’s great to hear that courts will be open through the night like in 2011 so the scum that think they can damage property and attack police in the name of racism can go straight to prison.

It's a shame they couldn't be made from tempered glass or something so people can still see.

Mmmm that’s a nice ‘canvas’ . It’s gonna be sooooo tempting for the spray-paint artists / vandals.

I dread to think what it will look like by Monday

It's crazy that no-knock warrants are even a thing, apart from circumstances like armed robberies etc
