David Dungay Jr was three weeks away from being released on parole when he died. He was in hospital because he had been diagnosed with mental health issues. Mr Francis-Silva said he hoped the public release of the video of his uncle's final moments would help others understand his family's anguish.

Wow, couldn’t pass up this opportunity could you?

American policing

Not sure how, but Australia needs to deal with the affects of colonization on our 1st nations. So many levels, so many disposition effects.

I’m just wondering why Australians are not joining the protests. All lives matter

Quick!! Before the bandwagon gets away!!!!!

shouldn't be publishing unbalanced inflammatory material covertly inciting for Aboriginal anger to copycat the savage riots in the US. And it's always the same. The ABC Activists behind them won't stop until they are defunded

Hmmmm I'm sure this story will be a balanced representation without bias or agenda 🤔🤔🤔🤔

oh ffs abc!!! Why is this sham of an organisation still receiving taxpayer $. Time for the ABC and its radical left agenda to go!!!!

so many disgusting and ignorant replies here 😔

No their is a world of difference between the two. David was a convicted attempted rapist and violent criminal with a mental health history. He was clawing, biting, fighting and spitting blood at the officers as they tried to restrain him. This is an insult to Floyd.

ABC can't wait for the violence to start here.

Quick question: Did we see ABC helping to organise protests when Justine Ruszczyk Damond was murdered by police; taking one month to charge the officer? Thought not! Who exactly are the racists?

Is this written by senator Briggs?!

Seriously! Just when you think the ABC couldn't get any lower, they do this. DEFUND this Left Wing, identity politics, race baiting horrible excuse for a media organisation!

Race baiting is not bringing unity.

Got bored of supporting criminal rioters in the US and thought you'd try to stoke some home grown ones here too huh?

ABCthedrum Oh Oh metoo ! metoo !, I dont want to miss out on this, let's stir up some homegrown shiite ! It's the ABC way ...metoo! metoo!

Oh piss off ABC

Disgraceful. Jones was rightly condemned for less (less because he didn't attempt to mask it with a sophist veneer).

And where is the poster boy for all the MAGA fans?

Democrats & ANTIFA are fanning the outrage to overthrow trump

Read the comments ABC, your losing us. Shame on you.

I mean ya know I'm. starting to think you don't want to report on the news

Here we go, our state funded broadcaster string up racial tensions, again. Please put a stop to this ScottMorrisonMP

Baiting Leftist Hacks

here is another great story the didn't report the poc attack on white journalist.... I'm. waiting patiently for some real news

Floyd the criminal - armed robbery.

Yes good work abc, lets go out looking for something to provoke disharmony in Australia. You won’t be happy until someone loses an eye.

I'm just going to leave this one here

Abc would love to see our cities burning.

The ABC still glorying in the violence. True to its Antifa politics.

This is the ABC's go to story

Good on you ABC - any chance to stoke division - you really are shit.

Who ever wrote this at the abc should be ashamed of themselves writing & I quote “while George Floyd was being RETAINED “. Ffs He was being MURDERED !

Are you in support of Antifa looting in Australia now?

Caring less and less everyday

Oh yeah, what was this vermin locked up for? sob sob

Spare us this opportunistic nonsense. auspol riots2020

You are deliberately trying to stoke racial tensions with this tweet. I remember your tv channel blaming Alan Jones for the Cronulla riots, if that was true then this is the same.

Similarities are they were both anti-social career criminals

Arrests during George Floyd protests exceed 1,600 as curfews imposed on more citiesCurfews have been imposed on major US cities as clashes over police brutality erupt across the US with demonstrators ignoring warnings from President Donald Trump that his government would stop the violent protests 'cold'. Antifa and black rioters, edit your word use knob heads. Can you please not refer to them as “violent protests”? Word usage matters. These are in the majority peaceful protests that have had some violent incidences due to preemptive escalation by police, and some rogue (often white) protesters.
