Correction: The street names labeled in the graphic at the beginning of the video should be switched.
Owner of cupfood and Palestinian *Mahmoud abumayyaleh snitched on american George Floyd* why isn’t anyone mad at him ???
No to racism, we demand that the policeman who committed this crime be held accountable. This is a promise. This is a promise that Texas will not silence.🖤
How is anyone still listening to communist Nazi vaticano funded media like this? Media like this are the enemy of the people. Yet see the blind sheep Baa ‘ as the Shepard of evil raises his stick.
@KEY key You calling all white people racist is just like these cops thinking all blacks are criminals.You are a real pos!
@siri alexa It’s a CAREER CRIMINAL, pointed a weapon at a pregnant women you uneducated failure.
Not ALL black people are gangsters open your eyes cop
#BLACKLIVESMATTER
This seems like a personal revenge. Aren’t no one that dumb to put their knees on people neck. Common sense. Wt.f-tard.
This is just horrible why would someone do this no matter what we are all people ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
BREAKING NEWS,
MURDERER DEREK CHAUVIN HAS CONTRACTED CORONAVIRUS AND NOW HE IS IN HOSPITAL AND HE CAN’T BREATHE.
DOCTOR SAYS NO VENTILATOR FOR YOU TO HELP YOU TO BREATHE 🖕 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do police cars in Minneapolis all say “POLICE”? 3:25
Fucn bizi txeq cer mory qunem
Cariol Horne a female officer from Buffalo NYPD STOPS her partner from choking a handcuffed gentleman and gets fired with no pension after 20 years of service. Later the violent officer gets in trouble for a similar related offence, goes to prison and will get pension when he is released. Good cop now a bus driver and gets evicted from apartment for non payment…:(
Прямо как в песенке, ай, ай, убили афро, убили афро, ни за что, ни про что, суки, замочили.
the race of police is similar everywhere in India or USA..—-mercy less and cruel
Someone pay a $20 bill to that man and ask him give his life back………………..and tell him loudly that believe In Judiciary
*BOTTOM LINE:*
When he said “I CAN’T BREATHE…” the “officer” should have let up. PERIOD.
George was not a threat (at least at that point & time.) We could’nt see the footage like she said, of how he got on the ground, but I still don’t think he was a threat.
He was handcuffed & surrounded by FOUR “trained officers.”
*FIN*
Racism is real and needs to stop!
We want black rights and Native American rights
It is truly a tragedy but we don’t have enough good informations about what happened between the moment when they arrested him and the moment he died. A lot of people are just assuming that the police officer is a racist murderer. We don’t have enough evidences to state something like that.
someone is going to die
Poor Guy ,3 pigs held him down while the 4th pig was standing guard .
He suffocated and pee’d him self while none of the other 3 pigs did nothing
to say that is enough. all 4 should be put to prison .
They Murdered Defenseless man in Purpose
Minute 3.24 floyd drops a bag of drugs, its seen beside him on ground
Karunya pisan, padahal teu ngalawan, cik atuh padahal mah asupkeun kana mobil.. naha meni kudu di dengkek kitu.
Minute 1:22 and 1:30 packets of drugs drop out of his pants onto the road and then when sitting down into the sidewalk….. the more you know… jogger was eating coke and died
2:20 was the resisting. That’s why he fell out of the car and back onto the road. Do more research, there more video.
Manslaughter charges are appropriate.
I hope everyone in this video police officers are thrown off the force !!!!!
He flailed himself to the ground, textbook take -me -to -the hospital- not -jail move. Literally seen people do this all the time in prison
The black car didnt leave FYI….take a closer look reporters….they did a U turn…and stayed and filmed the entire incident. Looks like another Antifa set up gone wrong to me…burglary and counterfeit are not ok…neither is resisting arrest. The cops were doing their job and sometimes someone is unhealthy or jacked up on drugs and/or alcohol and they may die in a position that only 1/million would die in because of their preexisting condition/situation. Police protect us, thank you officers, and our country would be a 3rd world country Blowing peoples heads off of it wasn’t for them protecting us…so back off since you weren’t there. There are millions of black white brown and yellow people that die every year while breaking the law and sometimes not even breaking the law but the odds are much higher that things will go wrong if you break the law. Gods plan is always perfect and we should learn and move forward in love for eachother

This makes me sick. I can’t believe this, this makes me so sad and mad just hearing the sound of him crying for help is awful. No one deserves this not a single person out there. This makes you realize how much racism there is out there you make think the protesters out there are going a little to far well they are but there are peaceful protests the news is just not showing you that. There are good cops out there they are not all bad. Black lives matter
SAY IT AGAIN
Who cares…who pays for this….hmmmm
The “white” in your name is appropriate.
I’m tired of the police treating people this way because of their rank.
” please I CAN’T BREATHE ” omg this is so heartbreaking let’s show these demons this is not Right… disgusting 😔 rip GF💔
#helltoallmotherfucknbadcops
if i were american, i would find them and inflict the same thing on them or worse ! if it was the opposite, if it was a white man that was murdered, those cops would be dead by now.
🖕
The officer ” Helps ” him off the ground…… and this is how the media makes barbarist a saint……FK U …
Wtf is wrong with the world
I’m not black not even American, what I’m seeing is out of humanity , that police brutality to its extreme level , this policeman must be charged with capital murder , how can someone be so heartless to a fellow human being ?
You can actually hear the poor guy pleading with him that i cant breathe , but he turned a deaf hear .
He killed intentionally , we need that cop locked up and now .
The way they are approaching him, is like he has committed a murder and running…
The black car moved from behind George’s car to across the road to get a better view?!?
There must be more footage of what happened when the police first arrived and show why he was arrested in the first place
There two colds weren’t wearing masks lol
STUPID IDIOTS, THIS IS WHAT I CALL RACIST BAN AND TORTURE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE RACIST. I MEAN LIKE WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT, WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WE ARE ALL THE SAME SPECIES WHY HATE EACH OTHER WHYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
In one of the videos the store employee started to say what happened but people cut him off, idk why? But the employee said he watched the whole thing on his store camera, wonder if they have or will release the stores security tape.
MURDER!!
I’m so angry 🤬… I wonder how meny times they did this before someone recorded it
I’m from Phillipines and I know about this I would join the protest if I could.
🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼😡😡😡🚔🐷👮♂️😭😭😱🤬🤬🤬🤬🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🚫🚫
Crazy police
The cashier should feel guilty for life for reporting him and really its only 20 dollars thats just insane and cashier is probably a white person too soo sadd really
Officer just decided to sit down on the face of that gangsta and get some rest, what’s wrong with that?
Man… why? Just… why?
What NBC didnt explain was the Ambulance did not try to check pulse or do anything, just put Floyd in the Ambulance, wrong protocol. Also Prolice did not cuff and put into Patrol car, wrong protocol. This was a staged death, and was designed to trigger the ANTIFA group; to start their civil unrest war. 666 on the rubbish bin. Dragon (AKA – Devil) Wok. MKultra cop.
Man! Had I been there!
I get police have guns so it’s risky for the witnesses of this evil crime but .. why did no one call station to report what these officers were actually doing or call an ambulance
Racist state = USA 🇺🇸 don’t take this state like an example. It’s like South Africa.. or UK 🇬🇧 a country based on à communities concept … the concept multiculturalism is racist… this is only the consequence of this concept
It’s breaking my heart badly!
All existing policemen who were involved in the murder of George Floyd, may God curse them all they must be executed criminals.
what a bunch of racism
I’m so sorry for his family and friends, this is not justice, the guard should be arrested for murder. But in defense of the police service, in my country we don’t resist to the arrest, and we respect the authority, there are other way to fight back the unjustice, u don’t respond with violence, pls stop challenge the authority
Over a f-ing fake $20… People are monsters, that cop deserves a death sentence. Absolutely horrific.
B-rave✊🏽

He definitely was arrested for being a knowledgeable criminal mastermind, and criminal he was for a reason of being too loving and caring for his family. Also, to participate in gangsta wars you need to be brave. So you defenetly aware of their racial archetype. Hahaha)
who knows how many people they killed without being caught in video….
4 of the seven dwarfs couldn’t even arrest 1 man properly so they lied on his neck and killed him.. this is why police should be over 6ft instead of hiring racist midgets with little man syndrome
This seems suspicious as all heck. Why drag him al the way to the other cop car to begin with. Why not the one that’s right there. Why did they have to pin him down to the ground if they claim he was having a medical issue when he first dropped. Those cops looked like they were waiting for something while he was pinned down. Keep in mind normally they wait for backup so that they can hand cuff the person but the guy was hand cuffed earlier and the report says that the hand cuffs never came off. And finally we now know that George Floyd used to work with two of these cops from before they were cops. They didn’t act like they knew each other at all but there is now proof that the they had previously met multiple times. WTF?
The video of George Floyd’s murder is beyond shocking and disturbing but should be watched by everyone. We are actually watching the slow torture and murder of an innocent man by a sadistic thug in a uniform. The thug in the uniform (I won’t even call him by his name) is actually moving his knee as he applies his full body weight to Georges’s neck to gain the maximum effect ..This is so shocking and disgusting..I’m almost in tears here.. We protested here in London yesterday..The whole world is watching this ..Thank God for social media and camera phones. now the REAL truth will come out in the open.
That now concludes our training video on how to properly arrest a single individual who’s already hand-cuffed by 4 officers. Next we will learn how to use an armored truck for a wellness check of an 80 year old great grandmother who bakes cookies.
If the one who serves justice do this, then who else are we gonna trust?
THIS IS AMERICA. U DON’T LIKE IT?
THEN LEAVE
Soooooooo where is the evidence this was racially motivated? Police over stepping the mark? Yes. Police brutality? Yes. Racist? I don’t see how
Any army here?
I HATE YOU NBC NEWS!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU POLICE OFFICERS. I HATE ALL OF YOU. I WISH NONE OF YOU POLICE MAN EVER EXISTED. JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD
Just because they’re cops they can do anything to civilians. I’m kinda disappointed at them😞
Btw. How are you guys even police man. A real and good police man NEVER F*CKING KILLS A “VICTIM” I HATE ALL IF YOU. THAT TEENAGE KID AT THE SHOP SHOULD BE ARRESTED. AND DON’T YALL EVEN THINK OF CHARGING ME. I WILL FO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO GET JUSTICE FOR BLACK LIVES. US WHITES ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT BLACKS. I HATE YOU WHITE COPS!!!!!!. I HOPE YOU DIE SOON😠😠😠😠😠🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👿👿👿👿👿☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
This Is Bad, This Is So So So So Bad. It Makes Me Sick To My Stomach. Just Because The Officers Are White And George Is Black DOESN’T MEAN Yoh Have To Murder Him. Im Not Black But I Will Be And FOREVER Will Be In The #BlackLivesMatter! This Is Horrible Horrible The Officers Need To Get Fired.😨😰
So.. I gotta say, police are trained to pin someone down and cuff them, but they are trained to pin them down with their knees on their back. So, how has it come where these officers pin the man down with force on his neck for over 8 mins. That right there is clearly a problem and the officer, that is no longer an officer should definitely be charged with something that is much higher than 3rd degree murder that you have never even heard spoken in Law & Order shows c’mon. I’d say it’s probably a stretch to get 1st degree, as I doubt that it was premeditated… if it was then, this guy should be looked into for just about everything he has been involved in, but definitely he should be charged with 2nd degree murder, 1st degree manslaughter and I’m sure there are a few other charges that he should be catching that the District Attorney hasn’t bothered to charge him or the others with.
This seriously disgusts me how immoral the people that you expect to protect and serve can let that power go to their head and take a life just like that, while they claim he was resisting arrest.. if he was resisting anything, it was death that he was resisting.
In this already horrible 2020 these officers have tarnished it even further.
Our thoughts and prayers from Canada to the Floyd family in this horrible horrible time, I hope justice will be served properly
#Fuckpolice
thats jail 4 those officers
acab
In our country , Police will say ” he resisted arrest” and you will see a caliber 38 beside the criminal’s body afterwards. “How you get away with murder?”
So again… We don’t know if there was excessive force used bc the officer felt like it or if Mr. Floyd tried to fight or become irrational.
RACIST CRIME like the death of Oscar Grant, a young man who was killed in 2009 by BART police officer Johannes Mehserle at the Fruitvale District Station 🚉
ACAB
Nobody is blocking the police.

All this over alleged use of counterfeit money ?
“The greatest destroyer of ecology. The greatest source of waste, depletion and pollution. The greatest purveyor of violence, war, crime, poverty, animal abuse and inhumanity. The greatest generator of personal and social neurosis, mental disorders, depression, anxiety. Not to mention the greatest source of social paralysis, stopping us from moving into new methodologies for personal health, global sustainability and progress on this planet, is the socioeconomic system itself at its very foundation”-Peter Joseph Zeitgeist Moving Foward
Schrecklich
I thought criminals the ones posing a threat to people, not the police. Horrible! 😡 I’m from Hungary, but even I could make out when he said ‘Can’t breath’. He was going into a panic mode, and the officer did not cared! I hope he will get a lifetime jail sentence.
8n meinen Augen komplette hundesöhne, hoffentlich kriegen die cops Todes Strafe, liebe Grüße from Germany
Put the officer in prison for life…. make an example outta him! How else are these cops who abuse their badges gonna learn, you can’t let these guys off, Not even just african americans… are TIRED OF SEEING THIS… ALL AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF SEEING THIS FROM COPS!!!!. Im sure theres a line of people that would love to put their knee on his neck and see how he likes it! See if one of us don’t get first degree murder. crazy what a badge does for you… whats wrong is wrong no matter who you are, no one gets pass IMO
I feel like most cops get away with any act of crime, in really bad situations. This just what I think so don’t go off at me if your a cop lover..
We’re no black police officers involved?
America brings justice and peace to middle east 😉 big lie
People did not act while this occurred
Instead they took movies for it and watched the happening….
Idiots
And to think the ‘intoxication’ and forged bill, were all alleged. There was no proof.
its very cruility…..it is the black face of american police …what a bad way of arresting and assassination…:(
Razzisti di merda
He keeps saying he can’t breath but that cop doesn’t care your job is to stop muderers not be one like wtf is wrong with you.
Burn the streets
The whole world fights by your side USA! This is horrible and i almost started crying when i heard him begging to stop. So many humans, but where is humanity? Stay strong USA!♡
Worse of it all the policeman didn’t even go to jail, he just got charged and lost his job.
Redacted video??? A lot of moving away from camera’s. What a set up. Conspiracy …. they would have put him in the police cruiser that pulled up.
If you’re dealing with a cheating spouse or you’re suspicious, you have a lot of emotions to process..you could be having fear or uncertainty

The man went into MEDICAL DISTRESS now the police say they called the ambulance. Good. Great. Now tell me why in the world was one of their KNEES on a MEDICALLY DISTRESSED man’s NECK? HIS.NECK. that is inhumane. Disgusting
