Beating 4 victims senseless and

Being arrested 23 times since 1998,

George Floyd has not committed a crime in over nine months now.........

Floyd is our new American hero... sad.... He should of been in jail. The system failed all.

The police chief for Minneapolis is expected to testify against Chauvin - pretty clear that this was a rogue policeman using excessive force. George Floyd did nothing to deserve a death sentence - justice will be served - and Chauvin will stay behind bars for a long time. Just watch the video.....

However let the judicial system do its job and if Chauvin is found not guilty not allow looting or lawlessness.

So because of fear an officer should be found guilty.......nope not buying.

27 Million is obscene - there should be a limit - that’s real money coming from R/E taxes on people who are poor or middle class- injustice breeds injustice

Fair trial, and let the “fans” “rooting” for someone stay well on the sidelines.

But the victims acts are on trial here cause had the victim not resisting arrest the victim may or may not be alive today because autopsy showed he OD. So, what do you think would had happen had if the so called victim wasn’t hirer then a kite and resisting arrest?

My husband was in law enforcement for 38 years, and I am very pro law enforcement. But in this case, Derek Chavin absolutely used excessive force with no regard for the “perp”. “I can’t breathe” 27 times and he ignored it? I hope that Derek Chauvin spends many years behind bars. I expect more decency and compassion from our law enforcement officials, who normally do a great job.

I don't care what you were taught, you do not kneel on a man's neck and on his stomach compressing his lungs just to restrain. When the man has no pulse, you continue on his throat and think that is appropriate. Stop the misinformation, most police departments have outlawed this process because it is meant to kill.

You’re welcome

[allsport]

He was a drug addicted man who had some fentanyl on board but not enough to kill someone his size and who had his tolerance due to years of abuse. Read the science.

Kneeling on a man's throat with his lungs crushed into the pavement is a way to kill not restrain. Most police departments do not permit this type of restraint. The murder part came when the man said, I can't breath and then had no pulse and the killer refused to get off of his neck.

From comments here it seems some are judge, jury and executioner before ALL facts are in. In this country, at least for now, a defendant is innocent until proven guilty by a jury of peers. It saddens me that a life was lost and it saddens me that millions are paid to one person’s family when so many others were affected....lives and businesses destroyed. Seriously, what are we becoming?
