Anger is spreading in the US over the death of an unarmed Black man after a white police officer knelt on his neck while restraining him on the ground in the city of Minneapolis.
As new video of the incident emerged that showed George Floyd was not resisting arrest as originally claimed, the lawyer for his family has spoken of a “pandemic of racism”.
Protesters demanding justice for George Floyd have come out in their hundreds in downtown Los Angeles, blocking parts of a freeway and surrounding Highway Patrol cars.
The protests are now into their second day.

RIP GEORGE FLOYD
THE GREAT AWAKENING
Why looting the shops? Only enhancing the sterotypes.
Is called freedom, never let good riot go to waste.
Yeah I know all those WHITE males out there setting fires and looting is crazy.
citizens must pressure the govt to get the four of them charged?? WTF they should be charged instantly and sentenced
Murderers!!!!
He was merely suspected of handling a counterfeit $20 bill which is probably a false charge as well. With the way they treated him, you’d think he just shot a dozen people. Totally disgusted!
Don’t worry my brother, corona viruses has been finishing them, if you percentage pass away white people more died of the corona virus. US stupid country that do not take care black people and it is long history Martin Luther King was seen that.
American history…
Killed someone and they only got fired from their job,if this isn’t privileged I don’t know what is.
It is called racism, but in usa it is called free world.
Islam said “kill every person who kill some one “
@Abdure Graphics & Design AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
They were handed a paid leave at first but the people started protesting. The police officers got fired afterwards.There was a similar incident in NYC. The police officers were kept at their jobs. Finally, one of them was fired after five years. None of them were arrested or jailed. I am a caucasian person but it’s true that if someone is black, he will be targeted by cops more often than a caucasian person. I have been watching some incidents where the cops act like tugs, shooting or arresting blacks in their homes or in public places without any evidence that the individuals have involved in any sort of crimes.
@Forrest Gump the whole saying is leaves the world blind and toothless
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Looting in America
Rest in peace big man. I hope this is the last time a policeman feels entitled not to listen the prayers of someone in custody. This is a pure homicide to me because we all know that even an healthy human being can die when kept like that.
we know it wont be the last time.. it is dangerous be a non-white person in this country
@MR K in Italy 3 young white men died by the hands of policemen. One was killed the same way as George. He’s called Andrea Mogherini. People was filming and screamed, asking to stop putting their feet on his body. He said “please, i can’t breath, i am a dad” and they didn’t stop. Andrea only had a panic attack and he was escaping something, he needed help but he ended up killed in few minutes like George. In the case of George the policeman was clearly doing a sadistic action and luckily his face was caught by the video. I know that in the US prisons there are many innocent black men locked for years and this is very sad.
All police men related to this incident must be hanged till death…if u can do justice
Indians are not commenting lol 😂🤣.
What does the Indians have to do with this?
This isn’t a laughing matter🙄
@Mike Williams Because everywhere Indians (South Asians Indian, Not Native/Real Americans Red Indians) try to show themself smart and lick US’s Azzzzz!! 💩
This is no laughing matter. It doesn’t matter where in the world you are. What this psychopath did was pure evil.
Such a bad example of America’s record of human equality, justice and …..shits.
This is pure evil. This is equally as bad as harvesting organs alive.
The poor man cried out for his mother before he died (was murdered) in police custody. He didn’t die later he was already dead.
This is Demo-Crazy country. All is crazy.
Well, that escalated quickly.
I suddenly lost hope in humanity.
You only hear about unarmed black people being killed by cops! What about the unarmed white people?
America, land of the fee, home of the slave.
i will remember this sir
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
That’s a painful death indeed
USA the racist!!!
The police have sworn to protect the corporations, not the people.
USA is a corporation and not a country..read The Act of 1871..
These so called officers are not law enforcers.They are criminals.They should be charged as such.
Charge with murder.
He died on the spot! Those 4 cops need tried for murder.
Americans will overwhelmingly re-elect Trump, America does not want a return of this behavior by the BLM terrorists and their anarchist friends.
American Infidel obama worst president ever
Display of American ISIS in uniforms trained in Jewsa
there is no any justice in America so why he is
Now this is what I called police brutality. Those HK police are like childplay compare to these.
Don’t worry those officers just have to say “i feared for my life, there for I was forced to sit on his neck to clam him down” and they’ll get off clean works everytime.
That’s America 🙌 don’t call other countries uncivilized and barbaric
0.27 guy with white mask looting a muffler..LOL..a muffler ???!!
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔ WHEN THEY RISE UP THE WORLD IS REALLY GOING TO BE IN CHAOS!!✊✊ THEY ARE TIRED OF BEING UNARMED & KILLED BY FULLY ARMED POLICEMEN!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Death penalty for the kkkop
4:41 Scumbag officer call the black guy to shut up when he told him he can’t breath
Don’t they have the death sentence in that part of America coz that is what I would like to see happen for this. No less and for other human rights murders in that place.
Blacks should take independence from white regime of America
African American should take freedom

“When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.
In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard.
Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him.
This is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven,
Give us today our daily bread,
Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us.
And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever.

Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets.

Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

And the great US of A lecture the world of human rights. What a joke from a hypocrite.
Very wicked policemen man

The guy received a fake bill and the officers killed him for having it.
Jennifier Yu They thought it was fake it wasn’t so rip George Floyd

Sad reality
Biden is so fake. Has a history of sucking police bs stories. Trump is a nut too. We’re watching Nutty white men era.
It’s murder plain and simple
This is not police this is terrorist group
You all put Biden on screen 📺 Dumb✨🤮
Very bad white people
they should go over to the courthouse and protest over there future poverty
and god is watching
Watching the video of Mr. Floyd’s murder killed my soul. I hope this psychopath gets what he deserves.
There is a video circulating on twitter of a pig starting a riot dressed in all black methodically smashing windows of an Autozone store.
Police officers should have higher standards when it comes to using excessive force. They are trained people. Whoever or whatever agency is responsible for training these officers around the country also need to be accountable. Who goes around cutting off others people’s airway like that if not a criminal?
Mr. Floyd was Murdered in the light of day. The question is, will the Murder of Mr. Floyd be White Wash, and will Cop walk?
I do believe this is the town no more than a year ago give or take where a black man walked into the Mall of America grabbed a five-year-old white boy throwed him from the third floor balcony nearly killing him all because he was white it got washed under the table and downplayed. this is a terrible tragedy because all lives matter but it is been weaponized and fueled by the media
Let the culling of the unruly herds begin
WHITE SUPREMACY = USA
Sadly no Malcolm X alive today to show these privileged white the mirror in clinical words.
White police brutality, is horrible. Police should be in jail or be also killed. Eye to eye.
Goes to show the level of impunity police officiers have in the USA, they can walk free after murder. There has to be reforms that unsures proper police conduct. This is not right to the highest degree. RIP George Floyd.
Those policemen aren’t human… Resisting arrest?? U killed the man who was cooperative during arrest and was unarmed..
Amoral N racist police
WTF do you mean GEORGE FLOYD died LATER in Police Custody? GEORGE FLOYD was killed while in CUSTODY…FAKE NEWS TROLLERS
that police officer should NOT be charged with murder. He deserves worse. A black man should cuff up that officer and put their knee on his neck until he dies.
Very poor reporting; you show video of the initial arrest, video of a police officer with his knee in the suspect’s neck later, and you state that the suspect didn’t resist arrest. Where’s video of what took place in between?
It is beautiful American DEMONCRAZY
A racist supported by the system killed a black man. That’s the right explanation.
Why is it so hard to lock them up?
Who has the officers home address?
And yet the US is talking about human rights in other countries!
What a joke…
I was just about to say “ooh thank God people are standing up to him” then I stumbled on 0:31😥😥
There has to be a change in this country when it comes to accountability of our police department’s worldwide.This has been going on in almost every state if not all states in this nation. To much power is given within these department’s and to the police officers to the point that they are abusing it in ever way they can and getting by with it. We the people will not stand by and be ruled by a police state and watch our love ones continue being murdered by a bunch of power hungry unlawful,illegal bunch of police officers. It is time to change this and hold accountable those in position of power to their wrongful deeds.
Pro-Justice demonstration is not an excuse for looting and rioting.
Duterte to America… Why are you killing blacks!
Business As usual, it is Rule of the law not rule of law, when the head of a fish rots the tail is bound to rot too, so Mr. Trump has no difference with his mysterious boys in uniform- so disgusting. Actually when I watch Trump speak, It draws mental pictures of a man who is high on weed!
Painfull 😢😢😢
Egypt exchange the Sueze canal for nile dam in Ethiopia.Foolish you are
Wow what a year 2020 for black people.
1. COVID-19 followed by 2. police shootings then 3. couple of racism. That’s a lot smh it’s gonna get worst by 2050.
if you don’t already know .. the US is the biggest anti democracy nation in the world .. just 3 days into the protest and they are bringing in military .. lmao .. even Hong Kong didn’t get to face the military even though they protest went for months
Let we the people take over the case file so what the perpetrators address and his families names addresses? Roger that
we the people will destroy all the government business and will show them who is the real boss.
It’s not about race, it’s all about these laws that protect law enforcement and judges. They want to call this race related but that’s to take your off law enforcement as a hole. Congress and state legislatures must enact stiff laws against law enforcement officers and judges to justly protect the people. Innocent people going jail, police killing citizens, and judges opinionating everything. It’s got STOP. Why is the judicial branch of our government has more power than any other branch and does what they want to. And these prosecutors they are terrible. Police unions are socialists. Fight back American citizens, fight back. This is a nation of the PEOPLE and not a nation of a tyrannical judicial government.
Same on you police
Americans can not give justices to there own citizens
N they r worried about hk🙄high level of hypocrisy
USA world class HYPOCRITE
those cops were BS …
justice must be serve indeed
Fokk da polis
Fokk da polis
The civil forces are overwhelmed. Martial Law will come.
Thousands should join the protest

I’m from America. He died on the streets before the ambulance showed up.
We shall overcome someday
Insanity prevails .. is this a free country known for its ‘Statue of Liberty’ .. clearly White Supremacy’s Establishes their hard core agenda’s or maybe the disintegration of US is near to end the Great Nation ..
They don’t show that part on US tv where George Flyod is telling them there killing him
