    1. @joe coder racist cops are killing black men. They don’t do anything to school shooters but hey a black man done a small crime gets police execution.

    2. Lots of black folks using this situation as an opportunity to loot and pillage their communities.
      Sad.

    3. @Crimdor there is are many cases in US where white person kills black man and they either go free or get a very light sentence whereas if it was black man they would get life or death sentence.

    4. Saeed Rayid – the guy above my post said they don’t do anything to school shooters and that is false.
      Not a single school shooter has walked free. Most of them end up dead.

  1. Just Jail officer , from the look on his face he enjoy what he was doing , he knew what was gonna happen.

    1. Once the onlookers tried to save Floyd’s life his fate was sealed. Suddenly “they can’t tell me what to do” was his one and only concern. His ego was too fragile to handle it any other way.

    2. @Wendy Pastore Same here, a sadistic cowardly little bully hiding behind gun and badge while he casually murders a suspect of passing … a counterfeit $20 bill.

  2. THIS WAS MURDER …
    PLEASE… ARREST & CHARGE THEM NOW!!!
    … AND CONVICT THEM ALL!!

    1. I agree.
      We should also arrest all the black people using this situation as an opportunity to loot businesses and attack officers that weren’t involved.

  3. All 4 cops must be imprisoned. Those who stood there could have stopped that. Yet they did nothing. All for prisons general population.murder charges. America must demand it.

    1. How about he actually get them arrested before you promote his presidency? I mean he’s asked for the National Guard to come in…so that will definitely ease all the high tensions.

    1. The cop who executed the guy was previously the subject of 10 different conduct complaints that resulted in NO disciplinary action.

    2. Those criminals should be arrested for ever …. they carry no heart and those cops are not humans

  4. Arrests already. A cold-blooded murder was caught on tape. Arrests. Murder charges. Convictions. Loooooooong prison sentences. #justiceforgeorgefloyd

    1. Miguel Moreno – I agree, arrest all the looters. And it IS on topic because the situations are linked. There wouldn’t be looting if the man hadn’t been killed.
      Stop acting dumb.

    2. @Crimdor That’s very one-sided. I have seen many of both race. All of them are losers that are taking advantage and ruining the message of the protest.

    3. Crimdor your words are racist. Not only black people were involved in the riots. You are part of the problem. Please be quiet.

    1. Crimdor does it matter she was still their people need to stop acting like it was people of color only

    2. @Nevada Held Accountable – I just want people committing crimes to be held accountable as well as the officers involved in the incident.
      Not hard to understand I hope.

    3. @Skepticz – So because 1 out of 50+ people are white, it’s all the same.
      So why take to the streets when white people are improperly killed by police but it never makes national news on this network?
      Your hypocrisy is baffling.

    4. Crimdor I don’t think it’s strange. A man was killed on camera by police who haven’t charged their officer. The point of the looting is to bring attention to Mr George Floyd.

      You seem to be worried about merchandise and replaceable property.

      But the police should go to jail just like the looters, sounds a lot better than starting the conversation with “focus on arresting the looters”

  5. All body cams should be live feed on the net. That will keep them on the straight n narrow.

    1. @Crimdor Why are police officers worried about citizens hunting them down? Aren’t they keepers of the peace?

  6. Finally, a speaker For the civilians, and victims. Those 4 “cops” now know what it feels like to be afraid for their lives. Good!

    1. Small consolation to George Floyd’s family and friends.
      Still, a good step in the right direction.

    1. gunit 010 you think people should keep burning down buildings and looting stores? The rioters are punishing everyone except for that cop

    2. Keagan Karstens The kkk burned down black homes businesses and took lives they can do what they want

  7. SO WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO?
    HE NEED TO START GOING AFTER
    HIS JOB AND HIS FINANCIAL
    LIVELIHOOD. STOP TALKING
    BOUT IT?! BE ABOUT IT!!!! WE
    WANNA SEE ACTION MR.MAYOR!!!
