  1. now charge that female undercover cop and the cops that plotted to arrest the cnn crew
    oh wait more than 3 so thats conspiracy to falsely arrest free media
    she had no backpack no water bottle, all alone on empty street… bad acting, approached cnn crew hung out until the cops were ready, being surrounded pretending to resist arrest by gently charging directly into a cops baton. trumps people are censoring our country, they are testing ways to arrest the media and political enemies.
    theres more than enough stormy daniels type cops that will risk prison to do their dear leaders will.

    1. @B nazis invented that not trump, but yea i get its your way of letting people know your a racist without getting in trouble and losing your job

    2. GreensOplenty …Wow…what an imagination, where do you get your stuff from?…..you should not over use it, only recreationally .

    3. @Off-The-Record well some of us are playing chess while trumpers are riding the short bus to school…

    4. Bet Trump ordered the arrest on the media, hes good for punishing anyone who opposes his crackpot and half baked ideas.

    1. @Eddy Hanson evidence is clear this racist hate crime, they will never have done this to a white man for the same situation.

  2. Ironic that the American Revolution, and the Boston massacre began with the killing of a Black Man named Crispus Attucks.

    1. A revolution is what we need now. Burn it all down an start all over, it’s the only way we will ever see change.

    2. The Boston Massacre never actually happened. But that tidbit of “fake news” helped incite the American Revolution . Your claim doesn’t jive.

    1. Anyone whose seen how cozy the DA, the coroner and the rest are should see right through this. I believe absolutely nothing coming from this corrupt bunch; they’ve been going along with police brutality for years and are part of the problem.

    2. Cases of police brutality should be investigated by an independent external party such as the FBI. The local and neighboring police departments, DAs, courts, etc. need to coordinate too much with each other in the course of regular affairs to have any credibility of independence and impartiality when investigating themselves.

    3. The family’s attorney just said that they are getting a second private pathologist examination.

    1. Well Police are trained with basic EMT skills… Like CPR… So he should have know first hand

    2. @Jeffrey Haines c’mon man. They are trained to use steroids and shoot people in the back what cop has ever given anyone cpr? Handcuff you with bullets in your backs while they tell you to quit resisting maybe.

    3. Project Management Good cops give people CPR… But there are tons of bad apple cops out there..

    1. One tactic after another; so predictable. They deliberately delayed, so as to gauge the level of protesters & their resolve. “Oops”- up went $1 billion in property.

  3. Why did the medical team not do first aid as soon as they arrived at the scene? Seems like no one cared about the poor guy. 🙁

    1. @Wendy’s Garden I even heard Mr Floyd say, “sir, I can’t breathe” the murderer just stayed there with his knee on his neck with hand on his hip acting all proud of his murderous action, First degree murder, no less!

  4. It really isn’t hard to believe that that policeman committed a murder, and that other accomplice, what a poor America, through that fool of a president, you throw yourself back 100 years

    1. When using the word, “that” one is alway sufficient, when writing. When speaking it is easily understood. When reading it creates a stumble for most readers.

  5. There are three hands on killers, not one? if these other two had not helped to hold him down, he may have been able to struggle free and breath? The other two aided and abetted a murder.

  6. If the 4 policemen do not get their just sentences, the riots is just the mildest that place will experience.

  7. My condolences to George Floyd’s family. Those videos were gruesome….made me cry!!!!

  8. so hypertension contributed to his death ? lol i can bet if he didnt have hypertension being slowly sufficated till you die is still pretty unhealthy

  9. Dude, even the media is trying to push this through.. There were three men sitting on that man.jez

  10. Yeah, manslaughter for the accomplices perhaps but definitely first degree murder for Derek Chauvin

  11. Regardless of his underlying health conditions, it was willful and cruel indifference to his life that killed him.

  12. We don’t need to be defensive about Mr. Floyd’s conduct. His conduct was blameless. The cops, on the other hand, aren’t blameless. Let them be on the defensive.

    1. Hes a goddammit criminal low life, he shouldn’t have died, and yes the police need to be tried.

  13. Yes, 1st degree murder and all 4 officers charged, stripped of their pensions and banned from working in law enforcement ever again.

    1. Claire Obermarck , they announced today on the news they are charging him with third-degree murder! Oh my
