The Death of George Floyd: A Timeline | NBC News
2020 has gotten worse we aren’t even half way through
I have seen several Twitter videos of reporters being attacked by police. Stay safe everyone.
Arrest other three pigs , and then everything will be alright..
If your family and race were killed off like this, what would you do? What would you think? There needs to be a new normal whereby this ‘liberty and justice for all’ begins to be so.
Its a shame to our country, that it takes such protesting to charge police officers for anything and shameful that they are so closely tied with the justice system, that their consequences are minimal. 3rd degree…..sorry not high enough.
All of us are born into the system we do not realize that we are taught program if you will so we help the system become stronger we have to become aware that we have the selection to choose to listen to our mind body and soul no tolerance for the negativity the positive must rise we have to focus on the people who make these decisions for us the people who are sitting in the Senate that are sitting on the president’s seat allowing the chaos to happen.
WE 🖐🏻ARE🖐🏽THE🖐🏾SAME🖐🏿PEOPLE
STUPID AND SHAMEFUL AMERICA, THE POLICE, AND OF COURSE THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. ( this imbecile – what d’ya call this guy ? O yeah ! TRUMP, he is. ( wow ) Have mercy o COVID-19. , Pls. take pity on this sorry nation. Sober down already. please !!! 😫😭 🇺🇸👎👎👎👎
Blacks will never have equality or justice and will always be oppressed and discriminated unless they have thier independence and be the masters of their own fate. 👌👌👌
An eye for an eye.
Sad to see man death like this.
RIP floyd
Where it started is where it should end.
THIS IS SO UNEXCEPTIONAL. I DONT GET WHY U HAD TO PUT HIS HEAD ON HOT CONCRETE AND MAKE SURE HE DIES. THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED.
USA USA USA🙃
BLAME OBAMA, STUPID ! … _He is black , but as a former white house leader why he didn’t do anythng decisive or significant to defend these traditionally oppressed people ( the Blacks of America ) and or even give them liberty and independence once and for all so that historians and the world will respect America again.
Death for buying with a suspecded 25$ dollar bill
The is not an MLK issue, this about the corruption of the Judicial System ! “Riots are the voices of the unheard” MLK
Under the English common law, an accomplice is a person who actively participates in the commission of a crime, even if they take no part in the actual criminal offense. Every cop on the scene should be charged with murder.
That cop that had his knee should be put to death the same way he killed George Floyd!** but what i don’t understand is why destroy and burn other innocent people stuff too..
Yo I agree that the death of George Floyd is unjust. But violent protests are so much worse than the incident. To take out your anger on random store chains and businesses, burning them down. Involving uninvolved citizens. That shouldn’t be the answer.
I’m not american but the racisme in us mounting terribly! 😔😔
✋✋🏻✋🏼✋🏽✋🏾✋🏿
ALL LIVES MATTER
i have no idea who George Floyd is but he did not deserve this at all. i am sad.
Hang on criminal police
Devil’s in uniform 😡😡😡😡
when the power is handed to a worthless human being
Love to all black people in America, solidarity from Ireland 🇮🇪💪🏼
We need martial law now!!!
Where is the love…😥
Bring back obama
They kneeled him brutally
restore order ??? RESTORE GEORGE FLOYD’S LIFE !!!
So does black lives matter encourage this or discourage?
He’s innocent until proven guilty. Obviously commiting crimes is wrong but killing them without proof is the same as killing an innocent as he was only a suspect
@Joyful Unikitty I mean do they condone all the property damage & theft.
NO to racism! I hope this monster in uniform will rot in prison.
ACAB!!!!
George Floyd’s life matters.
this is disgusting ,he should be hanged..
What did George actually do?
Cop : The whole city’s on fire ’cause of what you did.
Floyd: I know. Isn’t it beautiful?
It was an accident the police officer paid the price: not just him all officers that were involved/ how ignorant of citizens ( the bill was counterfeit ) fact , it was the officers : not all Americans ,! Get over it stop acting like convicts yourselves! ;! People should be arrested & apprehended ; it’s not personal if ;he was any other race it would’ve happened .No one knows what the men in blue go through: it’s so sad how ignorant people react ! I’m proud to be an American citizen & respect our state !!!!!!!These attention seekers just wanted to repeat what they are “Animals acting the same when Rodney king was attacked ! They should wake up & see who they really are thieves , criminals & looters ( what the heck are they trying to prove not all looters were black ! Making themselves look like savages ‘what point do fires & stealing valuable items prove the point that black lives matter ?????They are fools of greed , sloth, hatred & envy , ! May God take his wrath on all of the Ten Commandments they are breaking ! Praying for all business’s they destroyed . We must protect ourselves ! Time to pray & stay strong ! Warriors of Christ will face the storm ! They are demonized ‘all lives matter!🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💨🌊⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Oooooorrrraaaahhhhh,👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Spell racist: NYPD
What about global warming?
We must fight against this! No whites , no black , no colour…! We must fight against this Racial system…RIP George Floyd! Justice for Floyd… everyone should have equal rights!
Blame the unlawful racist white cop in Minneapolis that represents the local government everything the people destroy is tax funded by the people if the government in Minneapolis don’t charge that unlawful racist white officer that killed Mr Floyd may 25th 2020 with first degree murder every public funded facility will be destroyed untill the government do the right thing if the government don’t treat the people right
The government is going to get over powered by the people
Police did no wrong. They had no personal grudges. It is definitely unfortunate but the protests will directly result in spike in the rate of such burglary!
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN WRONG.
may the death of sir George Floyd be a start to stopping all this discriminations against black people of America. Honestly I can’t understand where are this rage against black people come from…
Telegraph channel always disables comment.
He’s NOT A GOD WHO RULE THE WORLD. WHY PEOPLE GOIN WORST ON THIS. FOR GOD SAKE. LET EXAMINE THEIR BACKGROUNDS IN LIFE BEFORE ALL OF YOU TO PROTEST WTF.
He is a blackie….
The police did it right .🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
People need to treat black people good everyone is human. THEY WILL PAY WITH JUSTICE
Y’all know this won’t be the last murder, right?
Floyd was a criminal and resisted.How much force do you choose to use?We all would have handled it our own way.Are they trained to act this way?hope not
Okay, but the video doesn’t mention the arrest of chauvin… with respect to the protests turning into riots. Which came first?
Only black people can judge the meaning of humanity
I felt so bad when I watched this news….
This is TOTALLY HEARTBREAKING, when this man keeps begging and gasping for breathe😢😰😰
No one deserves to be treated like this!
#SayNoToRacism #FightForJustice
There are no words for what happened to George Floyd. All lives matter no matter what race, color or religion. We must come together as a Nation crossing all lines no matter color, race, religion and party lines. I don’t believe that this indicative of all police officers and I hope that those involved are held responsible for the totally unnecessary death of Mr. George Floyd. God rest is soul. Prayers for his family and friends and for both our Nation and for all Nations.
This is America for you..
Black life matters !!
Police in USA why use that much excessive force during police in India only use cane it chills me a lot, in India if any suspect or protestor starts co oporating police usually leave him aside, I acknowledge killing happen but police never use excessive force and no rule to hit in appropriately which can lead to death or harm someone. He will surely be fired out of job plus suspect will never give him any chance to give way out of his self defense that’s true in India and suspect can file FIR for attempt of murder over police but why there is this situation in USA its un fortunate.
Суки!!! Чтоб с ними поступили так же! Гавнокопы!
The bright side is that 5M dollar shas been raised for his family…and they will fight over it too… Rest in peace Floyd
Some just do that to stole things
Wtf he just sat there. He’s not even trying.to arrest him 😥
Pining a knee on the neck of a 46 year old man for 9 minutes. It was murder. Now the city burns for defending such horrible act by an individual.
i am so proud and patriotic to my country 🇺🇸 but it’s embarassing that this happens and it’s a norm here
All these people gonna go back home, and possibly give covid-19 to their “loved” ones!!🤦
We tired of this BS and we’re ready for civil war…
Maybe he didnt have money buy smth to eat…😢

My name is George Floyd.
This is very satisfying to see good job officer .
what the heck is wrong with you.
2pac – Changes
That’s all i can say
“Some things will never change…”
America needs 3rd political party f$@k republic and democrat…
So thankful I’m moving soon.. (Out of America). This terrifies me. Really? I think both sides are to blame, mostly the police. Protesters might be taking it too far, as they are wrecking other’s property, and even setting fire to the property. On the other hand, a police FRICKING MURDERED A MAN AND IT DIDN’T EVEN LOOK LIKE HE CARED! Please, be safe, everyone. You can protest at home, just don’t go out to the streets to do it.. You might get arrested, or even shot. We can change if we be smart. Black lives do matter, but this is not the way to solve it. Please calm down, and use your minds.. R.I.P George Floyd ❤️
What is covid 19 it don’t exist
We don’t need music to accompany this horror.
But this man looked very strong!!
Can we all have a moment of silence for this Floyd😞… Rest In Peace
He use to get to many girl’s.. and the cops know that they hate it and they had there eyes on him..
2020, Riot… Check.
That’s very bad… rip
I like my pork well done.

??
No one should get killed like that,WHO are THEY to just take someones life like that,just because they are police officers doesn’t mean they could just take someone’s life like that,no,i dont know this man,but i still believe that you cant take anyone’s life like that.
Why people protesting for a criminal …and taking this a racism issue..
BECAUSE HE WAS ONLY A SUSPECT. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. HE DID NOT DESERVE TO BE KILLED. ARE YOU DUMB?
“Tiananmen Square Moment”
Is it a manifestation of destiny that a free people be brought into submission by agents of a despotic power base, is it plausible that those controlling the narrative produce a portrait of a precieved opponent with such broad strokes it appears to be borne out of conjecture and speculation. What shall a people do when girded so tightly to a yoke of servitude they can no longer freely breath, while being hearded like so many sheep to face the sharpened shears of the shearer. Instinctively cowering to a broad blue cloud of authoritarian overlords having been given absolute control over their fellow countryman, oppressively repudiating even the basic liberty of having critical thought. Can a people being denied their unalienable freedom be made whole again, bondage imposed by mortal men of earthly kingdoms’ bear up to public scrutiny. We are witnessing the elitist consortium of self serving politicians and oligarchs wield their amassed power over society, yet it is illegitimate and an untenable paridgim in the face of a populace having experienced an existential awakening’ clearly discerning the true motives of the ruling class. It can be accomplished by boldly breaking these unholy bonds of servitude to the ruling class, escaping the suffocating effects of tyrannical directives’ reclaiming our dignity and right to self determination.
The aspirations of the autocratic self serving ruling class and social engineers’ having been discovered and exposed will not die quietly, these determined advocates of a totalitarian state can and most will likely lash out with vengeance and vigor. Utilization of the full force and effect of legislative fiat enforced by the criminal and civil court systems, actualized’ implemented and enforced by components of military personnel as well as the criminal justice apparatus. Is it possible that in the heat of dynamic opposition the ruling class could overreach and a perfect storm materialize, with the malicious abusive behavior of criminal justice personnel on display in recent weeks considered’ the possibility of having a “Tiananmen Square” like moment is not a far fetched notion.
May God be with us in these less than predictable times
This is cruel
Pigs…
Why they hate black ppl
2:15 ❌: Rage of Mr.floyd’s death
⭕️: Egoism
Don’t use to reason of plunder
Maybe I think he is not saying “thanks everyone “
Racist Americans
If that’s the way the police handle a man pleading to breath, I want those cop’s to get the 💀 penalty.
Sometimes me and my brothers wrestle with my dad and they all pile on top of me and i say that I can’t breathe but my dad says that if I can talk I can breathe, I’m gonna show him this and see what he thinks
That poor man he didn’t deserve to die😭The amount of racism is just disgusting
may George breath peacefully
I wonder what America has to say to Anonymous now
This is a Master Class of US Leadership!
“When corruption holds the loudest megaphone, it’s hard for justice to be heard.” ~ J.P. Andrews
Reaction to the killing of one person by police in countries where life matters!
I’d just like to point out this most likely has nothing to do with racism. More whites are killed by police every year. Yeah, go do your own research. Now please, stop burning your already charred country and go and do something productive
This policeman is on mandatory vacation now !!!!
This is why property owners need guns. The government isn’t going to protect you against criminals and thugs. And the judges and parole boards let them out if they finally make it to jail after multiple crimes and plea deals.
The Police diserves all of the pain
Not a big deal I would say.
