[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story disgusted me to the fullest.

We are all collectively dealing w/a horrific pandemic right now.
And still are dealing w/racism.....white police officers killing black people....??!

Oh when will this all stop??
I am not black, but am heartbroken over all these recent events showing the state of our country.

The victim in this case was specifically stating that he couldn’t breathe.
Both officers in attendance should have let the guy breathe.
Instead they abused their authority in order to satisfy their own sick, racial hatred.

I say, fire them immediately.
Prosecute, then convict them of first-degree murder & throw the book at them.
Life in prison.
No parole.

Or the death penalty since this is clearly a hate crime.[/quote]

I am not black or white. I cried watching that video. I don't know why but its been on my mind a lot since I saw the video. I just can't get the man begging and then slowly dying while the the murderer is kneeling on him and posing for the camera out of my head and tear up every time.

How does a civilian call 911 on a cop? Do they even show up then? I keep thinking what could have been done to save that man. The bystanders were begging, one woman screamed to check the pulse when she showed up on the scene. The other picture showed 2 other cops behind the vehicle holding the man down while the other one put his knee on him. The store video does not show him resisting. Granted he could have said things while intoxicated/drugged but why kill him for that. They were just inhumane animals showing how tough they were. George Floyd saying Mama is still haunting me.

I hope all 4 of them are tried and convicted of murder and accessory to murder and they all get choked in prison and die the same way.

And how quickly the police first tried to cover it up saying he had medical issues. Given how dirty these cops are, they will say he did not die because of the choking but because of an underlying condition. They are already spinning the cardiac arrest because of prior health issues story. [/quote]

^^I’m a black woman, and I agree with every single word you typed.

I keep seeing George’s eyes bulging toward the end of his life—the terror all over his face, as he knew he was dying. It makes me physically sick.

Also his politeness and respect toward the officers: "Officer, please..." It's sickening, shameful, and heartbreaking.[/quote]
