Thomas Lane, 1 of the stupid cops who killed #GeorgeFloyd is not sorry

The lawyer for rookie cop Thomas Lane has blamed George Floyd for not getting out of the car during his arrest as the officer's family has set up a fundraiser to pay his legal fees.
Thomas Lane, 37, (pictured in his mug) was arrested and charged Wednesday with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter, following Floyd's slaying when fellow officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes
In a tense stand-off with Chris Cuomo on Cuomo Prime Time Monday night, Lane's attorney Earl Gray said Floyd shouldn't have resisted arrest and should have followed the orders of the four cops, as he insisted bodycam footage proves his client's innocence.
'It wasn't a violent resistance but it wasn't a kind of non-resistance that an individual should do when police officers are arresting him,' Gray said. 'He should get out of his vehicle and follow the orders of the police officers. He didn't do that.'
Gray also said Lane could not see what Officer Derek Chauvin was doing to Floyd's neck from where he was pinning the black man to the floor - despite footage appearing to show the rookie cop looking in the direction of these events. (Liar)!!!
He then leveled some blame on the bystanders who had filmed Floyd's alleged murder and warned the cops they were killing the black man, saying they should have stepped in if they thought Floyd was dying. (Can you beat that?)
