Very engaging man. I cannot rationalise what the police officer was thinking for 9 minutes. It couldn't possibly be anything to do with doing his job, & there was no apparent reason to be fearful. Just horrific. |

I find it rare that I want to say something is an outrage or describe someone's response as shameful (Trump).
Hard to find words strong enough though and after so many previous incidents it's just mind blowing that Police feel like they can act like that with impunity - hopefully that proves untrue.
Impressive response from Killer Mike
Edit: Very powerful leadership from the Mayor too.

I saw the Killer Mike speech about 6am when I was heading to bed, and ended up sat there for about 45 minutes watching other stuff about this, too. Powerful stuff from him and the mayor.
The cop supposedly knew George Floyd from working as a doorman. Don't want to say that's 100%, because it was on Twitter, and I haven't had time to look.
He was good friends with the ex NBA player Stephen Jackson, too.

Dunno why he should get praised for firing them so quick , they should have been arrested straight away all 4 of them.
Outrageous that he had 18 previous incidents and was still employed.
Silent protests haven't made a jot of difference and the USA has probably gone backwards in terms of race
relations since the Rodney King incident.
Good luck to all those protesting , maybe if more people had understood Colin Kaepernecks knee and a president
who wasn't a white supremacist , coward , mysoginist and twat , then the USA might have been a better place to live
for a person of colour.

The racism in the USA is as bad as it's ever been. The sadness i feel when I see that photo of that despicable cop kneeling on the neck of another human being refusing to budge even when medics ask to check him out for vital signs. I hope him and everyone involved get what they deserve and more.
