Rev. Al Speaks To Collective Pain Captured In Floyd Video | Morning Joe | MSNBC
No his voice doesn’t. He is a GATEKEEPER against my people.
Focus.
Yup I remember when he came out of NYC all he WAS is a preacher with a perm who would show up if you paid him NOTHING has changed.
That’s murder CLEARLY!!!! I mean come on ppl don’t tell me that’s not murder 😭
@Blessing John Chelliah we don’t have to imagine it happens all the time
I’m starting to believe the cops now that Al sharpton’s involved
THE COP AND VICTIM WERE COWORKERS THE WEEK PRIOR!
CITIZENS STOPPING BUSSED IN AGITATORS FROM ARSON. ALL PLANNED, HOLY WOOD. COP AND VICTIM WORKING TOGETHER JUST PRIOR, NOW HE STOPS CAR, PULLS HIM OUT FOR KNEE TO NECK? NOPE, STAGED.
@OnA Mission oh yea? well then, may explain where a bogus 20 came from?
The pain is that this has become the norm not the exception.

@Dave Schultz , Dave quit trying to use misdirection to answer the question. You made a blanket statement about Democrats in power, and you have no research or a valued argument to support your post. You are just spewing non-sense propaganda.

@Hamza Amir This country was founded by “domestic terrorists”. People like you would have been licking the boots of the Red Coats back then while the others were fighting for their freedom.
That’s why we need guns
@Hamza Amir The looting reminded me of the first stimulus Bill.
In harmony with this….

(NowThisNews on YouTube)!!!
Trump threatens to “assume control” in Minneapolis, eh? Just arrest and charge the murderous bunch of cops already and assume justice.
tiny threat for tiny hands. When the enemy starts shooting, SHOOT BACK! (go for the legs first).
Blame the county that Minneapolis is in not trump. They’re fully to blame for all this sht.
Trump, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Directed to people of color.
100% agree!!!
@Roland Moreno the Trump has been looting the country for over three and a half years does that does that mean that he needs to be shot. Remember justice for all buddy boy
They arrested journalists but not the officer who murdered that man? WTF.
They let the one white CNN news crew member off the hook 🤯
@Milagro Cabrera I understand “following orders”. But “following orders” does not mean blindly obeying those “orders”. That is why the Creator gave them brains to USE. And they arrested a person whose skin is darker than theirs, ON LIVE WORLDWIDE TV. This is why those injustices happen there. Because the so called “GOOD” law enforcers DO NOTHING when they see those injustices happening. The result is loss of trust and respect for all law enforcers which resulted in riots. What do they expect to happen? They are now reaping the fruits of the seeds of abuse of power, oppression and discrimation they have sown since the founding of your nation. We, from the other side of the world, are watching and hope everything gets better there and everywhere in the world.
@Joseph Swift “Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent’s position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument. Whataboutism is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda.”
@uretehsia Well said & thank you.
@Angela Siegfried thank you too and you’re welcome. Stay safe and may God hear and most importantly, answer the prayers for your nation.
There were Young Whites that out there protesting as well. Watch all the videos.
I saw the videos of the protests and it looked to me like at least half of the protesters were whites.
Genevieve Words ya you’re all thugs
@Genevieve Thanks Im white Im not sorry about that .we cant chose what color skin we have. But I was raised by a single mom who brought me and my three siblings up to be nice and to treat every one you meet with respect. my mom never had to teach us not to hate . People that hate almost always have to be trained .Any teacher will tell you that up to first grade children get along no matter the color. People that raise children to hate, need to break this chain. when I watched Mr Floyd get murdered , I saw the very worse parts of humanity unfold again. This cant be real. Why isnt sombody pulling this monster off? in the past ive had two experiences where people that were dying called out for their moms before passing.It is very hard to write this,, but when Mr loyd passed all I could think of was my past two experiences.one was someone i didnt know,a car accident. I did what I could do to let this man know someone was with him. I dont know if he new someone was holding his hand , but as helpless as I was, when he called to his mom I knew that was it…the other was surrounded with his family and called for his mom. this brought back things I never thought I would ever see or hear again. im sorry that this happened, I wish Mr Loyd knew that in his last moments someone cared. I think because of my experiences that this was more bothersome because nobody could hold his hand or get close. I pray for this family, the community and all the sadness that this causes
this is not about colour, this is about the human race.
@mawama this is WAR
GODS children Angels
against Satans Kids Demons

destroys non productive

racism while claiming to

own city but cry #Racism

Criminal Cops should be arrested for Murder. Coz it’s pure Murder.
This is not Rocket Science to analyze and it’s not about Black or White.
well said !
Yes, it is!
Jazzzme no, it isn’t! Wow that is easy. Don’t have to back up anything I say. All these years I’ve been wasting time thinking and carefully considering my positions.
You don’t know what’s going on. I understand what you’re trying to say, but it is about so called “race”.
Exactly!
George is dead.. who killed him.. when did he die.. who saw the incident..that’s all you need to know!
😢😢😢😢😢 When will this ever end? 💔💔💔💔💔
I know!!! It feels so so so long that evil holds good hostage. My hope is that dark hearts can be turned to light. Please keep up the love.💖💖💖
last time it took the entire Reich to be smoldering in ashes, but then, their boss was no limping coward.
…that’s my neighbor, my co-worker, my friend under that knee…
a citizen of The United States of America.
Amen. Our brother
Injustice has become the norm from this corrupted judicial system.
Justice has not been served for generations and especially with this administration. Wait for the investigation ? NO !
YOU WAIT FOR PEACE !
When I heard he was calling out for his Mother, I finally broke down and cried. He knew he was going to die.
Yes, George Floyd knew when he saw his mother on the other side. Mr. Floyd deserves justice. A bad check doesn’t justify excessive force neither does violent protesting.
He knew…My God, he knew
I felt the same. 💔
the normal response for many who see Azrael in this life.
that blew me away. I knew he was dying and couldnt believe what i was watching. he knew
i wish they would take it to dc , n burn that hive of corruption and evil to the ground
It took 10mins to murder George Floyd.
4 days and counting, still no arrest of the White Policeman that murdered George Floyd
You want them to rush it so he gets off on a technicality??
@whitey 1 if that was your average black man that did the very same thing that police did, he’d have been arrested the same day
@NegroDamus Lol it’s always about race right. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about they have to do a investigation then figure out what charges to level against him!!
@whitey 1 that’s exactly the point, it’s always about race. Why do you even think there are riots/protests going on now? A black man would be treated entirely different if he had done what the white police did.
Oh I get you, I think you mean like Ahmuad Arbery’s case. Riiiight, now I see.
Arrest the officers.
They didn’t hear peace for over a Decade, maybe they will hear Violence now….
You can’t keep hurting even a dog and not expect for it to lash out….
Djt has fueled this hate. I will NEVER forgive him for this.
True. Trump openly promotes racism. His supporters feel as if Trump has somehow validated their racial hatred. This is Trump’s America. This is what it looks like.
Did Trunp cause all the killings in Chicago over the holiday weekend to??
@Tessmage Tessera Huh?
George Floyd was not killed for “counterfeiting”. George Floyd was executed by the state of Minnesota for the crime of being Black in America.
Thank you they weaponized his blackness period!!!
