Its tragic and inexcusable what the kneeling police officer did to George Floyd. I had no idea the video I saw on youtube would be so upsetting. That cop knew what he was doing, the man pleaded he couldn't breathe.

This immediate arrest should have taken place already two days ago.

They are accessory to the crime and should be treated as such.

About damn time. Hope the other three are arrested too. He did what he did and it's all on camera. Don't know why it took so long.

If that cop is corrupt which i highly suspect then I think the ENTIRE police force associated with him should be fired on the spot. Where there is one cockroach there are more. I would also like to see the Police Union building burned down too. Just to make a point.

No. That's not how it works.

Just, no. We're smarter and better than that.

If it had been one citizen killing another w/similiar video, you can bet there wouldn't have been any delay in charging and arresting the perp.

Perhaps. Until the next cop murders a black man or woman. That should stop now. Right?
