TODD: So the trial of the officers who were accused of killing George Floyd is underway, and Rush, as you know, believed really strongly in supporting officers, of course. He also fought to have government employees of all levels be held accountable. Rush wanted to see the judicial system work in the case of these officers.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This Minneapolis situation and George Floyd. I mean it. I hope these cops are dealt with good and hard. I\u2019ve seen the video like everybody else, and it makes me so mad I can\u2019t see straight. I don\u2019t know… I still don\u2019t know what precipitated it. I don\u2019t know why they had George Floyd on the ground. I don\u2019t know, but I don\u2019t care what it was, unless he fired a shot at them, and even then, there is no… What policy? What policy is there anywhere that mandates that kind of treatment of a suspect or prisoner who is totally under control?<\/p>\n

\"\"(interruption) Okay. All right. So he passed a counterfeit bill in a store.<\/p>\n

Fine. That doesn\u2019t come close to justifying what happened to him, with people watching that cop for five minutes kill the guy! There\u2019s no other way to describe what happened. I understand people are out there calling it murder. It makes me so mad, I can\u2019t see straight. So, I ask, how does something like that happen? There has to be some police manual or handbook.<\/p>\n

Look, you people in law enforcement know I\u2019m at the top of the list of people who support you and understand how hard your jobs are and the rigors and the arduous circumstances you have to go through every day. I still, given all of that, do not… I cannot find a way to explain that. I can\u2019t find a way to justify it. I don\u2019t care what the guy did.<\/p>\n

TODD: When you watch that video and you see it for the first time, you have the exact reaction of El Rushbo. I don\u2019t think you can be a feeling human being and watch a fellow human die and not have that response. I was screaming at the screen, “Do something! Help the man,” and it was horrifying to watch. The defense is launching the same… It\u2019s the defense that a friend of mine who\u2019s a cop sent me a note on, and it was really hard to read the note from my friend.<\/p>\n

What he said is, “Hey, you\u2019re gonna find out that they were probably trained to do this,” and this is what the defense is saying — and it\u2019s a Democrat city. It\u2019s Democrat politicians upstream from this, and the defense is saying that George Floyd died from, you know, basically a heart attack, given the amount of drugs he took. Look, I would not want to be on this jury. It\u2019s impossibly difficult, and to watch a man die is impossibly hard.<\/p>\n

\"\"I just want people to recognize some patterns. There\u2019s a woman I know who lost her kids for a time because she was a heroin addict, and she\u2019s actually offered to come on the air on my program in Seattle and talk about this. She lost her kids because she was a heroin addict, and she had become completely irresponsible. She was on the streets trying to score heroin all the time, and she has told me directly… She\u2019s in the Seattle area.<\/p>\n

Her first name is Autumn. Had the governmental funded heroin dens been available, she\u2019d be dead. And if you don\u2019t know what those are in cities like Portland and Vancouver, BC, in Canada and in San Francisco and other cities, they\u2019re setting up taxpayer-funded heroin shooting sites in the same cities where they\u2019ve been giving away needles for 30 years, in the same cities where they\u2019ve legalized possession of fentanyl and meth and heroin, in the same cities where the cartels are setting up.<\/p>\n

When I say the cartels, I promise you, I\u2019m not being hyperbolic. Watch Drugs Inc., the special on Seattle, and they talk about the Honduran cartels setting up. They talk to a guy from California who was an actually white supremacist who moved to Seattle \u2019cause he could control the drug business up there because everybody was amateurs, and he\u2019s in there decrying the fact that now the Honduran drug gangs are coming up, and they\u2019re hardcore.<\/p>\n
