Many police officers across the United States have condemned the actions of the four officers involved in the death of George Floyd.
But it is just the latest in a series of deaths of unarmed Black men at the hands of law enforcement.
Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from New York.

#DerekChauvin #GeorgeFloyd #GeorgeFloydprotest
Hatred and wickedness at the police department. Unacceptable and very disturbing to watch. Justice must be served ASAP.
I appreciate these officers speaking up. I wish more would, but I’m sure that the job culture doesn’t make it easy. The important things in life that require courage and character are rarely easy.
@Random – Shut up. I don’t force my beliefs on you, don’t force yours on mine.
Enough is Enough./
I’v written & spoken this message a hundred times. ENOUGH!

crocodiles’ sympathy
So shall you reap what you have sown.
This is a dishonor to the USA and the wider world police force.
Racist police is common in South Asia and Middle East.
Instatutionlised racism in police force across America. Needs to be investigated by non police authority. Things need to change.sad thing is the is deep rooted instatutionlised racism across America in all establishments like education , shops, employment, their as to be change.
R.I.P George Floyd where is the UN 🇺🇳 how many unarmed black people got to be executed killed for the human rights to step in no Justice no peace
Previous month I managed to gather my first five figure income ever!!! I’ve been working for this provider over the internet for 24 months now and I never been happier… They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing regarding it is the fact that I am not that tech-savvy, they only asked for basic understanding of internet and general typing skill…Amazing thing about this job is that now I have more time with my family. I am able to enjoy quality time with my friends and family and take care of my children and also going on holiday along with them very frequently. Don’t ignore this opportunity and make sure to respond rapidly. Check it out, what it is about… *worth48.com*
Yeah, here the US is calling the shots and sending soldiers everywhere to enforce global peace, yet they forget the people who are paying for it.
Shame on that racist pig officer 😡😤
Exactly how will it complicated the police work ? if only they do right the thing and remove racial bias, everything would be fine and nobody would protest but rather give lot of support and goodwill.
It’s more than about racism. It’s about rights and justice that every person in the world must have without exception. Every person must be a citizen at all times. No government should have the right to strip anyone of their citizenship. That is what the cop effectively did. By making people stateless, governments can make anyone lose their universal human rights.
No racial bias just means they will kill anyone.
Don’t be too hasty to react, remember it’s TV. The cop and Floyd knew each other from working together on a security job. That knee is not using full weight, it’s a wrestler’s trick and the throat is protected by tilting the head. I think this is bribery, and both wrestlers got millions for a fake death.
Victim was in handcuff, why officer hands inside pocket and put all weight to his neck till death😭😭heartless coward should be punish death for murder….
I NA silefff
So sad.. We want justice
All 4 pigs needs to be charged for murder and arrested and thrown in jail……
Amarica is great again 👌
wtf America is in flames as it should be with a retarded president
Dezzle that’s the point. He’s being sarcastic.
America is great again. For who! Be VERY clear when you explain yourself.
LaVon again, it’s sarcasm.
3rd world usa these people killing around the world woman and children arming terrorists fanatics etc.pp and most of these black americans are not better than those cops that killing them
American police is a legal mafia🐷.
A few bad cops doesn’t make every cop terrible. There are more cops fighting for good than ones that are racist.
Red Avenger martial law is what trump wants and the deep state the end of America and the rise of the new world order
Earth Souljah you are wrong, that cop was a bad cop but not all cops are bad they have lives and its their Job!
Worlds biggest gang!
@WashYourHands I don’t think that will comfort the families of the innocent people being murdered
I hope justice
Agree, where are the UN sanctions against the United States. Human rights issues, 3 presidents not elected by popular vote.
If the rich companies can’t make money off the rest of the world, they will demand change.
The UN was set up by and is owned the USA. It’s their NWO TOOL
Black revolution, its time to make america black again
Then its will became a failed state like africans nations. African can’t even build there nations before Europeans reach there was all tribes hardly any prover civilization..mayan civilization were all tribes also they migrated from Indo-European region even they were Indo-European peoples no african there too
or just not have racism? and to let everyone be treated right ?

The entire criminal justice is guilty and must be forcibly removed from power through socialist revolution. I don’t buy these token cop gestures.
Problem is revolutionaries end up doing more crimes against humanity. The 20th century is filled with them. We need powerful government watchdogs to uphold universal human rights. Governments can strip anyone of their rights to justice by stripping them of citizenship. That is outrageous. No one should be stateless in this day and age. Its a crime against humanity.
Socialist?
Those police officers do not care about American’s; they do not care about their colleagues… they comited MURDER all of them…no one tried to stop what that idiot was doing… one day they will pay …not just in courts ; but in God law…..cowereds , desgusting men…..
THE AUTOPSY WILL REVEAL THAT THE RACIST DEVIL ACTUAL BROKE FLOYDS NECK BONE TOO, WHILST CHOCKING HIM.
The horrible footage is the trigger of a ticking bomb, not a firecracker. The ingredients in that bomb is the police horrible racial treatment, the frustration of being in lockdown, the looming unemployment & crashing economy, and the impotent leadership of the nation.
Of course it will blow up in a spectacular fashion
Uncompetent?
@Anna Vajda oh yeah sorry. It should’ve typed with the letter “i”.
My brain is having a typo
@Anna Vajda there, i changed it
You left our police corruption, violence, and butality against us “the People”.
Even white people can’t believe the police
i agree lol
This is the pot calling the kettle black… Action speaks louder than words. JUSTICE!!!
I’m not convinced
Floyd and the cop knew each other from working a security job, fake death, fake news to stir up a race war. We can’t believe anything they show on TV, the media are all owned by the Deep State, and Obama is their front man.
I find it curious that no media has asked whether putting a knee and your whole weight on detainees neck is a standard police procedure.
@Swami Baloney Your rock has to be close by why dont you just crawl back under it.
@Swami Baloney no that’s what the police said but the ambulance said he was none responsive and had no pulse at the scene and he was not suffocated or strangled he died of cardiac arrest
It’s not, that’s been said many times, no police officer is ever trained to do that. Use of force is only necessary when there is a threat, when he was on the ground there wasn’t a threat, he should’ve stopped then, but he didn’t, that’s why he is a murderer
GetCrazed 🤦🏽♂️
Press has a repeated history of asking dumb questions 3 or 4 different times/ ways. Unfortunately I don’t find it curious at all. Call me savy or jaded, your choice.
Yeah well they have to pick sides like everybody they are either for it or against it.
FINALLY!
Finally What a puff piece about how the poor officers on this video want to be set free to do their job properly and impartially. Did we watch the same video with lyers who have witnessed i am sure multiple crimes by fellow officers police asking to be set free to do their jobs. These cops on this video all have been and are a part of the Blue Wall of Silence.
SIGNS OF A CIVIL WAR COMING… COP 2 COP
civil war
WEST USA VS EAST USA
@Minecraft Education edition-barney ALL I CAN SAY IS NUKE CHINA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE
@이의열 yes
Most of them are more than criminal. Some are killer’s
The moment those morons put on a uniform the go power grazy
Sikko’s.
Crazy I never knew police were emt to coming out of ambulance to secure body
It’s a few bad apples that make the whole profession look like a crime, they aren’t all like this, most of them aren’t criminal, Derek chauvin was a murderer but just about every officer right now is on your side…
That’s clockwork orange for you
It’s nice other police officers are speaking up. There are a lot of psychopaths who are hired because no one wants their job and they end up killing ppl. But the ones who do their best and stay true get their name tarnished by bad cops. Time for a change in America.
They are just being pretentious, they will create their own chance to do the same.
@Abhishek Ganguly Just because one cop does something bad, does not mean every cop will do the same. If someone of your race or job murdered someone, does that mean you shall do the same, if given an equal opportunity?
This has been going on ever since “Race Patrol” was established during “Their Slavery” of African people…..They are trained to hunt, maim, & kill Africans….Who do you think is hiring Military, wyte Extremists on their force across this country? Derek Chauvin may have killed George Floyd, but who gave the order.
His ego
Kill that cop
Surrender to handcuffs equals surrender your life.
So true.
Al Jazeera is fake news.
Run along toddler
🍄
US has the same terrorist attacks like Qatar and Al-Jazeera
It’s not only blacks who distrust law enforcement it’s EVERYONE! Let’s make it perfectly clear I do not trust any cop. I’m white, upper middle class, and 60 years old.
Don’t immediately label all cops as bad. That solves nothing.
@D Griffin I’m been on this planet 61 years I’ve yet to find anything other than a fithy cop. Dough Muldoon Ex-Police Cheif, Palm Pay, FL I’ve know since 1978, who at that time sole my driver license from my locked employee locker, from my zipper purse, from my zipped wallet because he thought it was a funny joke (he was the security guard at the store I was a sales girl). He also told me about police theory from his father who was also a cop (one is for cops always to carry an extra gun so if things go bad they can claim self defense). I “honestly” almost vomited from it, so I just exited the building we were in and walked home. This is a true story I was so disgusted by what he said I wanted to clean my mind of his thoughts so I took a shower and threw away everything I was wearing because I didn’t want to remember the things he said, or him. As I hear he’s back as head of security of some company.
@D Griffin Let’s go back a little futher to 1967 I was 8 years old in Saginaw, Michigan. I lived in a very small housing sudivision everyone knew each other. Everyone knew to stay away from the Roccio family (spelling may be incorrect). Julie Roccio was my age 8, she looked so sad, and so against my parents wishes I befriended Julie. She was terrified of her father, she became a statue, frozen when she knew he was coming home from work. Her little sister, 4 years old peeed the bed. One night 2 very young cops came knocking on all of the homes in the subdivision. They said they were looking for the “kid” who beat up Mr. Roccio’s 1 year old son. I still remember. My Dad told them: “Get out of here, the old man did it.” Referring to Mr. Roccio. It seem Mr. Roccio beat his 1 year old son so badly he had to be taken to the ER (rare in those days unless it was truely life threatening). I still remember the shame on the two cops faces as they called the search off. Mr. Roccio was a Saginaw, MI cop. He beat his wife & kids, and everyone knew about it, and everyone just stayed away because he was an unpredictable cop supported and protected by the Saginaw, Michigan Police Department. Our family moved to Florida and many years later I revisted my childhooh home and asked the neighbors about Julie. They said when Julie was 15 she took her father’s revolver and shot herself in the head.
“Already many black communities are “”distrustful””” of Police”? Distrustful? Try absolutely terrified… they are fodder for the prison industrial complex.
Beautifully said.
They kill poor black people mostly because they know that they will get away with it. The problem is that the system is a lie, fraud and sick. It’s in the core of the sick and twisted country.
common lore;( law) is the top lore;(law) of America so always go after the man or woman and not the job title,
Derek Chauvin and people like him shouldn’t even be considered citizens they should be treated as the disgusting beasts they are and they should be kept in a cage for the rest of their lives
Police is the problem
That pig(Chauvin) should get a badge tattooed on the back of his head and be put in the general population. Suicide’s too good for him.
That’s the reality of the white skin privilege people. That’s the reality. Don’t pretend otherwise.
That was absolute bullshit all the police thugs who spoke on this video have witnessed multiple brutal incidents where Black people are targeted and robbed of money in fines for silly things cops hate black people blacks are an underclass to them and most white americans. Anyway this puff piece by this channel whose owners are guilty of horrendous crimes. would i go to a muslim country no would i go to america no i wouldn’t trust the justice systems in either one to be impartial awful but true.
I sympathize with the cop that is being charged with murder. This is total mob justice. It shouldn’t even be called justice because it is predetermined by a bunch of thugs and their controllers.
Police propaganda
How many people have been murdered since Floyd not on the news cause it ain’t on video
american police are more gangster than any gangster
Just because the bad apple is in the spot light doesn’t mean all the apples are bad. Not every police officer is ‘gangster’. I wish people would stop lumping all police into one big pile labeling them all bad because of the bad ones. Ya this group was wrong, the one was bad and the others stupid but not all are that way. I also think this rioting and protesting and looting and violence after a police killing needs to stop. What good is it doing to let dozens more people get killed in the protests against police killings? You’re protesting the taking of a single life by causing violence that is taking several more!
Finally, I hear cops including white cops speaking out but at the same time they should speak when they see their co-workers abusing poor and minorities not after they kill them. 3 cops had a chance to stop everything and save the life of that poor man but instead they helped in the killing.
The cop and Asian dude are brother in law’s and he worked with Floyd for 17 years idk
What if that guy with the kneel was in a higher position. The others cops can’t say anything if they’re in a lower rank.
I am distrustful of law enforcement as I am distrustful of media coverage.
Derek Chauvin is a murderer. He just took a human being like that.
Cops who murder should be in prison.
@N S yes
The 3 others that stood there should be put in prison also
No such thing as a good cop. All cops deserve the death penalty
I wanna do something but I don’t know what smfh
All officers need to be Accountable. Not just one!
កំហុសរបស់ប៉ូលីសដូច្នេះត្រូវតែទទួលខុសត្រូវ
Rip
Aku tdk tau
The best way to break the “blue wall” is through their wallets. For every time the settlements come due for police found guilty of crimes the money comes from their police/union pension fund good officers in fear of their financial future will be all over this kind of conduct. Imho
Absolutely disgusting man
Nobody is above the law! NOT EVEN THE LAW! I can only pray that this man’s life, which was taken so wrongfully, will always be remembered and may his death not be taken for granted. Violence, destruction, and theft is not the answer, however I truly understand the anger. ALL of our voices will be heard nevertheless as LIFE and liberty IS our basic HUMAN RIGHTS as an Americans as we need to come together and STAND for what is right. We can choose to become that breathe of air that too many will never have the chance to take again.
bring in the gurkhas. neutral force, neither black nor white. thats how gurkhas solved singapore racial riots in the 60s between chinese and malay races when chinese and police officers acted biasedly in favour of their own race.
Fck the police comin straight from the underground
these cops deserve death panelty, anything less is a stain in US justice system
These power police are worldwide
Australia has quiet a few
But why they killed him? Can anyone explain pls
These cops will be retaliated against and weeded out
Someone has knowledge!
Sound more like they trying to distance themselves but im a cynic like that 😆
It shows the politicians and cops are very very scared this time around.
The government should put blue wall of silence to an end OR If the police officers are above the law than so are we.
This isn’t erasing the blue line .
When you have 4 out of 4 officers involved that’s 100% .
You Trying to tell me if there was another 4 more cops it wouldn’t have been 8 out of 8 ?
Dude cmon, 4 out of 4 in this situation, most likely it wouldn’t be 100% if there were more, look at all the cops speaking up about it. Chauvin is a murderer but 99 percent of cops are people who just wanna do their job, which is to protect and serve
Thank you to those cops who are speaking up. Justice for George
The whole world is watching you America. And cheering on these protestors, BLM ACAB
China watching
Yet they are working as we speak pepper spraying people
“Tight Rank” in a herd of PIGS!!
🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
👕👚👕👚👕
👖👖👖👖👖
No words. The hate this causes in me is too strong for words. I want to just kill stinking cops, just step out and do to them what they dish out. Then I would be killing innocents just like they do.
I carry, for protection against police, fellow citizens are not the problem. Civil War is preferably if that is what it will take to end this.
All we see is that one cop but three were kneeling on him.
Racism is satan’s best weapon to destroy humanity…
An barbaric act caught on camera by this fool of a cop. He and his cronies deserves the death penalty.
Usa police are the oppressors front line.
Wow I can’t believe these cops ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
These four officers should be hanged publicly so that no one ever dares to repeat this cruel acts. Keeping such officers with backgrounds of cruelty and arson is unbelievable. Something wrong with the administration.
Amen cops
Cops love seeing this stuff. DONE LET THEM FOOL YOU
I don’t get why so many people are against ALL officers. Not all of them are the same and they have families that are worried about them everyday because of this.
it’s because people have no way of telling the difference of a bad cop from a good cop until it’s too late.
The chinese government(CCP)has planned and incited this event to overthrow the usa,All people should stand with usa,overthrow the CCP,beat the ccp,destroy the ccp,the ccp is a evil government.the coronavirus has been spreaded to everywhere by the ccp,watch out of the ccp.
Dont trust the ccp

Is there information about what is happening to the other 3 former police officers involved in the death of George Floyd?
