This poor news guy. He was so close to breaking down into tears. đ
the cop is literally enjoying crushing this dudes neck
You are absolutely correct. From what i can see, the cop is leaning forward and pushing his knee into this man’s neck. What i also noticed is that the police officer’s hand is in his pocket (to conceal the fact that he’s using his hand to push his knee harder into Mr. Floyd’s neck).
I am physically sick. This has to stop.
very sick, evil man.
Literally
@Life’s Journey I noticed that too
His nose was bleeding and he peed himself. This is horrific! đĄđ
You already have cuffs on him why put your big bodied self on his kneck, you cops disgust me.
Air Viper once he passes out you know youâre causing him to not be able to breathe. If theyâre talking theyâre breathing but he continued after he passed out so he knew he was killing him.
The width of the cops arms do not say “big boddied”
It is not all cops he was just being stupid theyâre are great police around our country
@WĂŻll big bodied or not. How much weight pressure do you think someone neck can take and for how long. He slowly and painfully killed the guy as his face was also getting crushed against the pavement.
Because ,they are AFRAID of a BLACK MAN, PERIOD ,it took 4 white boys to hold down a cuffed Black man ?? Of course it does when you are already PETRIFIED COWARDS.
I’m not American but this is makes me so furious beyond my breaking point
You don’t have to be American to see the brutality by law enforcement.
Darren Wilson started all this vacation for cops
Tell me bout it
@Risingofthephoenixx x You are absolutely right. This is a problem we all are facing. We need to make sure to stay together and go against falling apart. These issues need to be addressed by ALL of us.
@314murdacapitall stop spamming. Reporting
Another camera angle showed that there were actually two more police holding him down. They were blocked in this video by the car. 4 in total
Yep. All 4 fired immediately and charges pending
I was wondering why they were saying 4 officers were fired. Because I only saw the white and Chinese officer and didnât see any other officers until they were ready to load him on the stretcher. I wasnât sure if they had just pulled up or what
What a bunch of cowards, just like the Eric Garner situation and George Zimmerman murdering Trayvon. We need to rise up and start a rebellion against cops and feminism. Alpha males and strong black men should not have this crap happening to us.
This makes me sick! The guy is clearly not resisting after being handcuffed. 4 cops 1 guy. Like you can’t just hold him but the arm? There are 4 cops!?! My god!
Very good point. I noticed that too.
4 “white” cops
They didnt do it so they can arrest him, they crushed his neck to “teach him a lesson not to mess with cops” which eventually killed the man.
Iâm tired of marching, protesting and praying. We done that for to long with now results afterwards
jordan williams itâs time for war! You must fight for what you believe in!
This took place in 2014. Just around the time when the marching and protesting really started picking up. But either way you’re right…
This is hard to watch. I wanna stick my foot through the phone to kick him off
These your nation of people who killed this man so you don’t know how”blacks”feel.
Daren Samuel hush. Sin is sin, itâs not about color.
@Daren Samuel chill out bro we all in this together more than u know
@Daren Samuel I’m white and had two family members shot and killed by cops. Where were you? Go take your racism somewhere else.
They say he was âfiredâ doesnt really matter he will most likely move to another police deparment in no time
i hope no one hires them
@Man, I Just Work Here Those piggies are done. It’s 2020, not 1960’s.
No he will retire collect his pension and work part time somewhere
So damn true ndeed
âblack lives matterâ where????
They dont matter
Kortak they do matter
They donât and never will!
All lives matter
*âAdministrative paid leaveâ*
No They are on a vacation and getting paid for killing a man.
They’ve been fired and the FBI is looking into it.
*âWere his civil rights violated ?â*
They killed a non-resisting man after he told them he canât breathe!!! Idk you tell me
As they have so many times before.
If you can tell someone you cant breathe, you can breathe fine. He either had blood cut off to his brain or the officer snapped his neck. Either way he was murdered. That I agree with
He could breathe but only a little bit. His air way was being cut off. That’s why he was saying he couldn’t breath.
âThis is Americaâ -Childish Gambino.
Outbound Flight not the time
Itâs not the time really this is just horrible just imagine what the family had to find out
@Muktadir Anas đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
@Jake the quote stating
The officer should go to prison. He still murdered someone. You shouldnât be above the law just because you are an officer.
guess whats the sad reality, paid leave
@Keion Chase yeah fired with paid leave
@314murdacapitall You know the Department of Justice investigated that and found it was a justifiable homicide and Eric Holder was Attorney General appointed by Obama. You are radically misinformed which doesn’t surprise me at all.

This is Police Brutality!
Get your headline straight, he did not die, he was murderered…
Uh, hm.. sound the same to me.
Zimmerman and the Staten Island cop got to walk for this kind of murderous behavior, but they’ll never be safe. đ
Sounds like he died
Dripward No they murdered the man Period.
It would be too scandalous for the mainstream media. They don’t want to “divide the country.”
Dear God, our creator save us and our children from oppression.
Please lord Jesus deliver us from babylon:(
He’s coming soon. Hold on a little longer. They know it too, they Are Going to Be On Us this Summer. But Vengeance is the Lord’s
HIDAYAH ANDERSON God is good. God is all powerful, yet he lets these things happen. Utterly disgusting
So if you commit homicide you just get fired? Huh… I thought thatâs what life sentences were for.
There’s an investigation.
All four of them have been fired, Now arrest them all . If it was anyoneâs of us we would be in jail now . Make a Example out of them .
He called for his mother , as they were finishing him. What a cruel world . How can a mother live with this,,đ˘đ˘
Darren Wilson started all this
Iâm determined to fight the power to further the peace, mama scared the police might make a point out of me â Big K.R.I.T
His mom is not even a life she died a ago imagine a grown black man calling for is dead mother
@Chelsea fc official somaliland why did you bring up the fact that he was black?đ¤
Last words was maa mmaa
I hope this isnât forgotten in a month. How many times should things like this happen until meaningful reform is delivered?
Exactly
Iâm afraid to say but this will be forgotten by tomorrow. There has been so many cases like this that people has become immune to it. Black lives matter does nothing other than a show. Police brutality and homicide goes unpunished. So since nothing seems to change, nothing will.
