Can someone provide a synopsis? What happened?

Cop has knee on neck of man. Man struggles to breathe, tells them he can't breathe, crowd pleads with cop to stop, man passes out, dies at hospital.

Cop clearly doesn't care that he is killing someone for no reason.

When people stop sitting on the sidelines watching it happen. Each of us can do something today to be anti-racist. If you aren’t sure what... start by Googling “anti-racism”. Educating yourself is a step in the right direction.

They day we collectively are willing to risk ourselves to stop cops doing wrong. Problem is, you have to go in knowing you will be hurt or killed. Remember the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. I don't think we have the balls for that kind of personal risk any longer.

This!

You are right. The "We" was a collective. /OP

The cop Derrick Chauvin has lawyered up. He is being represented by Tom Kelly; the attorney who got Jeronimo Yanez off for killing Philando Castille...in Minnesota.

That’s what PD is saying. He clearly dies in the video.

When a country was founded on owning humans worth 3/5 of a human and sold like cattle, what do you expect? When a country built itself old the backs of Irish and Chinese under brutal conditions and very little respect, what do you expect? When a country is founded by swindling, killing and executing Natives to gain land, what can you expect in the future? Why are you surprised by this? Even when fruit grows large and seems healthy, that dose of poison it grew with is still at the heart of that fruit and it is rotten. This nation was created from rotten fruit and it will pay for those transgressions somehow, some way until the debt is settled.

Dr needs to determine death, not just looking at someone; plus people flat line and come back so whether he died in the street or died in the hospital that cop murdered him!!!

The video was so egregious, they had to do it to avoid civil unrest. The question is, will they be tried and found guilty.
