This chick threw one in a car with four cops in it. THey're fine, though, because she's new at this and messed it up.
Attempted murder of four cops? She's facing serious time I'll bet.
She bragged about it on Twitter last night. 'They doxxed me but it was worth it'. I wonder if she still agrees with that tweet today? Or in 5 years?
Only non-witches get due process.

Nope: Link
She’s been charged under federal law with using and attempting to use improvised incendiary devices.
According to the Daily News, she was originally charged with attempted murder, attempted arson, weapons possession and reckless endangerment before the case went to federal authorities.
Not charged with attempted murder, something less serious, apparently.

Well, she was white so she should be let off easy.

Mr. Mattis began working in July 2018 as an associate in the corporate group at Pryor Cashman, where, according to his profile on the firm’s website, he advises public and private companies, their executives and boards on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financing and corporate governance, among other matters.
He also served on the community board in East New York, the Brooklyn neighborhood where he lives.
The picture on his LinkedIn profile shows a smiling young man in a business suit, white shirt and striped red tie, and the profile says he graduated from Princeton University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology and earned a law degree from New York University Law School in 2016.

Oftentimes, charges which strike people as obvious are not brought because of some perceived difficulty with prosecuting them successfully. Lots of time and revenue wasted, lots of judges pissed off, and if double jeopardy attaches, the accused walks free altogether. Prosecutors often decide to go for the lesser charge, like employing an incendiary device instead of attempted murder, and a greater hope of success.

Yep. It all depends on how the attempted murder statute is written, and I suspect it has to do with intent.
Yep:
"In most jurisdictions, attempted murder charges consist of two elements:
The offender took some action towards killing another person
The offender’s act was intended to kill a person" -

Was the offender's act intended to kill a person? Did the cop intend to kill Floyd? I'd guess not.
