Minneapolis Mayor Reacts To Death Of Black Man: 'Completely And Utterly Messed Up' | MSNBC
And the older generation wonders why the younger generation doesn’t respect the Police.
@Balde Solis yes your correct but like trump reagan made it clear he was a racist not in an obvious way. But. gave a clear message they were a problem. Then proceded too infiltrate a new drug to the black community called crack…
@tin pan alley 1619 Broadway factually you r right on point, yet in comparison, Reagan was more likeable n had half a brain, orange is a fascist magot of a man!
Are you serious? I’m a millennial and I would never say such a thing about the older generation cause I know my American history. I know the boomers and the silent generation were hosed down by police, lynched publicly by mobs and police looked onwards, police unleashed their dogs to maul black citizens and so forth. I know about the Detroit riots and Algiers Motel incidents of 1967 any millennial or gen z should know that the older generation suffered greatly at the hands of abuse, racial oppression, extreme forms of misogyny, and homophobia. If anything we’re getting a taste of what the older generation went through.
@tin pan alley 1619 Broadway putting words in people’s minds are you? Don’t use me for your platform…stand on your own too cowardly two feet?
@Risingofthephoenixx x very well expressed n yet there’s so much more to say the least. Thank you
literally murder
Minneapolis #ADOS, stand up!
The word to describe what happened is MURDER.
Yep, and the other cop standing there should be charged for accessory to murder. He just stood by and did nothing.
Cassidy Smith He watch a military tactic killing..
@Cassidy Smith Asian rookie scared of his white master.
edmundo oliver explain this bigot https://youtu.be/Vm_n4NtXF9k
Yes!💔😢😡
There are multiple cops why didnt they restrain him properly
@Cassidy Smith I hope he does now. Hopefully, the da Persie charges.
Those are those “good cops” we keep hearing about
That’s my question??? These police officers should be charged with murder as the second guy in the video did nothing to assist in restraints or helping this man. My heart goes out to he’s family. Mar he rest in peace ☮️
@antiGravity74 death row
He was a black man and they are racist. They should all be charged with capital murder
Disgusting. The officer was warned multiple times. This is murder.
@Trvp visuals I don’t think you can prove that the cop intended for him to die. Homicide requires proof of premeditation. Overcharging folks leads to an aquittal. Manslaughter, and depraved indifference are charges that will stick.
Mark Jones yeah. It takes too much common sense to understand basic human anatomy. “How am i supposed to know how much force i need to snap a human neck, or cutoff air supply. That’s way too much for intent. I wasn’t sure if all 200 lbs of my body was on it either, it was only 9 mins”. Continue please
Obviously, the black life is considered that of a slave to those who think themselves better a race to blacks…. This is unacceptable. Clearly, this sparks an outrage against RACISM in every sector of life in America!
@Trvp visuals Well you are welcome to charge them with whatever you like, and have a district attorney argue whatever you want, but I have a passing familiarity with the court system, and the defense gets to present a case too. Reasonable doubt is a thang.
@Apostle Stephen Dansu This doesn’t have anything to do with race that I can see. This is about police brutality. I know something about that. You don’t have to be black to know about that.
Being Black in America shouldn’t be a death sentence and wearing a blue thug uniform shouldn’t make you immune from justice – COPS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MURDEROUS ACTIONS!!!
I totally agree send them Mfs to prison where they shall rot!!
@We can bring them back Excuse you. Facts are racist.
@John Barker or it could be like Bidens thinking…truth over FACTS🤦♂️
Show us
Yeap!😡so SAD not right💔😢
Cops get away w murder all the time… his union will back him, DA and city officials will smear and blame the victim and cover up their culpability… there will be a payoff to the family via taxpayers and the murders continue…
Agreed
Those pigs were fired so the Union cant save them now
Exactly, they got a whole team right now combing threw his Facebook, twitter, Youtube accounts trying to find anything to smear this poor man that was murdered. The lunacy will continue as long as these racist, power hunger, useless cops roam the streets looking for this.
This one is way worse and obviously worse than any other arrest used to prop up race division/racism. Y’all need to learn to see the difference between this and the majority of these videos. Good chance he’s going away for murder
@DJ_Cub no worse than the Eric Garner murder… no indictments, cops walked.
The man was murdered. He said he couldn’t breathe. After he stopped moving, the cop kept his knee on the man’s neck for several minutes. He later died at the hospital.
My love to his family. 🙏
@Ro G He was dead there on that ground. You say it like dying on the way makes it better. But he was gone before the ambulance got him
He died on scene
He died right there,on camera. We all saw it,no question.
Police will die all owner black boy.
He didn’t die later at the hospital
Where is empathy from this police??? One day it could be someone he cares about. If he cares about anyone.
Find his family and choke them out in front of his face. Let him watch all he loves die like dogs
He probably beats his wife and kids.
That’s if any woman is desperate enough to be married and breed with a disgraceful piece of garbage like him.
Might have been a serious crime like selling loose cigarettes, Oh wow.
@Donald. You didn’t know that selling loose cigarettes and “reported forgery in progress” as capital punishment for blacks in America?.
Or jaywalking..
Murder at the hands of a sociopath and coward.
It’s surprising how America still has a black population!! Just imagine how many innocent black people have been killed!!
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.– The fruit of thy land, and all thy labors shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:–So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. Deuteronomy –28:32—34 — The Children of Israel –Deuteronomy 28:15-68.
@Amazinj Muzik tell that to the 10 folks killed and 39 injured in Chicago this past weekend by their own!!
@Amazinj Muzik you are so racist
@John Barker payback is payback. And thats Not racist at all, because our own people will be caught in this well deserved payback too. Not just the oppressors. Yall need to understand what racism is. Idk how yall can be so confused on racism when your forefathers invented it.
@Amazinj Muzik You don’t make any sense because you are so full of hate and hate doesn’t make sense.
Your ancestors sold their fellow Africans to the European colonizers. Are you going to get payback against them as well?
If thats not murder, then free every one in prison.now.
That was murder in broad daylight.
Yeah- that’s a really good idea! Apparently you’re nuts
@David Osterberg It was sarcasm, Rob Wright is NOT asking for people in prison to be freed.
@notmy cellphone Hey this is Not sarcasm. If those two officers are not charged with murder, set every prisoner free now.
Patrick Massonne 😂😂😂😭😭 man you really are nuts.
Forget “justice”, because that’s only a concept. It’s time for reciprocity.
Lamar Rodgers Two wrongs do not make a right.
@Lara Jones it makes it equal tho
Now the cops have been fired they need to prosecuted and the one who did the actual killing should get the death penalty.
Don’t worry this Chump will wish he was dead.
I agree. He should die in the same way he killed that young man. A knee in the neck till he chokes to death.
MN is a dark blue state the death penalty is Illegal here.
They are probably already hired next city or town over
How is he resisting arrest when handcuffed already on him this is murder
Why the “F” didn’t someone knock the cop off him?
Might get shot or get a knee on their neck too.
@salmonline Dude come on. You know they would shoot you dead . Maybe he doesn’t want to be 6 ft under. Maybe he has a wife and small kids.
@Michael Gibson Oh look… another one…sad…
Thats literally the most ignorant response i’ve heard. You just saw them murder a man for doing nothing. You don’t think they would open fire on anyone who came anywhere near them??? Much less tried to “knocked them off of him”
You want more black deaths? Why don’t you go charge at the officers the next time you see a black man almost choked to death.
Why is on PAID leave??? He doesn’t deserve to be paid, he deserves an orange jumpsuit.
Logic Police the same due process given to George Floyd?
Logic Police
Yes like he killed man on the street while the man saying I can’t breath? Tell that to the loved one!
You are right!!
He deserves to be hanged
@schniv I believe you are right. It hurts to watch this!
This was murder. He just looked at that man while he slowly killed him. Smh
Discusting
Devils enjoy inflicting murder and pain.
“Being black in America shouldn’t be a death sentence,” SADLY that isexactly what has been happening 😢 😪😪
@Lovenaturenaturally bu i will say again – you are racist
Same thing with Latinos 😠😱😢😭
@johnnie olivier that’s because there are more white people in this country than black people. Whites killed by cops are usually armed, not unarmed. Whites usually magically get taken in peacefully… even if they just killed 20 people. Too many Black people who die by cops are unarmed and over something non violent. So try again fool.
@John Barker stop gaslighting devil
@John Barker STFU
