Rev. Al: Officers Should Be Arrested And Charged | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Where are the good police, oh yeah they’re the ones standing there doing nothing ! 😠😡
This IS America folks. This man died over a suspected fraud case.
Deepwest put ur self in his shoes dummy .
@TITANIUM _s you better start behaving like civilized people too or you will Fing your knee of justice
@Deeppumped. . . . .Hey little fella, I think your mommy might have cancer, you should go ask.
Which tells me those cops were just plain bullies. So what would they do to me if pulling me over for a speeding ticket going 5 miles over the limit, arrest me too throwing me to the ground and stepping on my neck too until I’m dead too?
@Deepwest where is justice? I can’t see it at all.
That there was a murder that we just watched.
Lynching: a form of violence in which a mob, under the pretext of administering justice without trial, executes a presumed offender,
If your definition is correct as I assume it is then that there is a lynching. Sickening.
The policeman should go to jail for the rest of his life , absolutely disgusting, justice must be served.
yes, him and those who stood guard so he couls finish. not shown here but is in other channels.
He was tortured to death . Suffocation is torture, it is extremely painful
It causes extreme panic very similar to waterboarding. The fact that he was restrained, concealed his frantic efforts to catch his breath. It must have been terrifying. May God rest his soul.
They even taunted him, telling him to get up while the knee was on his neck.
That cop is a murderer and all of them are complicit in that man’s death.
@Lauraine Garten
No doubt the rights of these murderers will be fully “respected” with a nice noneffective “investigation” and “prosecution”. As a foreigner looking in I don’t have much faith in US justice especially when it comes to their treatment of non middle class white folk. They don’t appear to see brown or poor people as Humans but as problems and that is a very dangerous mindset to have, in fact it is kind of psychopathic in nature, possibly why so many nasty little c*nts become coppers in the first place.
@Darth Wheezius you nailed it. It sickens me how all of this is going on. How can such wickedness continue and justice not be served? I can’t even imagine the pain Mr. Floyd’s family must be feeling. All the anger raging in the hearts of so many is justified. The blatant racism in this country is appalling. Your description of the police is spot on. I don’t have much faith in them either. They don’t live up to their supposed calling to “protect and serve.” It’s more like terrorize and destroy.
I can’t figure out why 5 officers showed up for a fake $20 and stood around doing nothing for 8 minutes while a man was being strangled. Nothing was right about this. I don’t see how the FBI is going to come to a conclusion in favor of any of them.
@C. H. Yes. All of them did nothing to stop it. Not even to save themselves. All of them need to be locked up for a long time. There is no legal spin on this one.
One Two3 : How many others, judging by these fat dwarves casual ness, have they dealt same way with ¿?
Disgusting. The officers should also be charged with murder
Here is a picture of that officer at a Trump rally, the same rallies where Trump calls for police to be rougher with suspects…

@Creator How do you know it’s the same guy?
Firing them is only the start. ARREST AND PROSECUTE.
#ArrestAndProsecute
#Arrestandprosecute
The cop that had his knee on his neck should be charged with murder,it’s plain to see.
We did not watch a man die. We watched a MURDER!!!
Amen!
@Robert Michalscheck last year was happen same things https://youtu.be/zzYizoixDnw
@Robert Michalscheck That is because a lot of cops are sociopaths. Not all but a good portion of them.
It was a cold blooded murder!!!
One Two3 yes your right,that profession attracts a lot of bad people,what other job can you get away with murder with.
He said sir he said he’d get in the car and still wouldn’t get off
David Gibson You’re right and it’s clear from the footage that the officer knew it too. Shocking!
” resisting” means attempting to be innocent while black.
Exactely well said
Thank you!
We aren’t supposed to resist being killed, except if we’re white and own guns.
Murdered him with no concern or care while being videotaped.
And his hands in his pocket!!
Too bad everyone watching didn’t jump those cops. It would have been perfectly legal since it was being videotaped. No way would those jumping and subduing the cops being charged with anything. The video is self explanatory.
Bokushingu’s Kendo TV : Done it before, without a doubt.
@Jay Ritch yeah but they’d probably draw the gun on you
I no longer think peaceful demonstrations are the right response.
Buddy it’s been that way for a while.
They are most definitely not peaceful in Minneapolis right now
People know who those cops are and where they live. You know what needs to happen.
“Get up and get in the car!”
*doesn’t get off his body*
exactly!
The cop almost siad that with a smile. The cop should be detained for murder.
NOT ONLY DID HE TELL HIM TO GET IN THE CAR HE MIMICKED (NOT BEING RACIST) HO A BLACK PERSON WOULD HAVE SAID IT SICKENING
*Psychopath cops* !
That’s the plan so when he tries to get up it will look like he is resisting.
“This time they must be prosecuted” means there’s been too many times of “this” in the first place
Last year was happen same things if they don’t stop racism how to protection our safety https://youtu.be/zzYizoixDnw
Inexcusable, no doubt this is a murder in plain sight. I don’t see how anybody can argue any different. So sad, very sad
It was a murder. The other officers are his accomplices.
Nuclear Sam
EXofficers, or as I call them
$cumbags !!!!!!!!!!
1. Fire them
2. They are Fired
3. ARREST THEM ALL !!!!
Actually lookouts.
Floyd was dead while the former officer/ murderers knee was on his neck.
Yes. Taking him to the hospital was just a formality. He was murdered right there. We have to thank the bystanders who filmed it so there could be some justice for this poor soul. All 4 officers need to be put away.
The ambulance arrived and their attitude was uncaring. They checked his pulse and it was obvious there was no urgency, no attempt to work on him. He was dead right there. Thats when i realised id just watched a man killed. No emotion or concern on the faces of the police at all. The man who did it smiled at his partner. It was chilling.
Yeah they should definitely be charged. This is insanity.
