A video showed the handcuffed black man lying face down while a white policeman knelt on his neck. Floyd became motionless and died shortly after

The U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday it had made an investigation into police involvement in the death of George Floyd a “top priority,” after a second day of violent protests in Minneapolis over the unarmed black man’s death.

A video, taken by a bystander, showed a handcuffed Floyd, 46, lying face down, groaning for help and repeatedly saying, “Please, I can’t breathe,” before becoming motionless. He died in hospital shortly after. “To the police, I want them to get everything right, start doing your job the right way because I haven’t been seeing it,” Floyd said.

“Everyone has the right to protest, there’s no doubt about that, but it needs to be peaceful…and in accordance to the law,” she told Fox News.

All for 1 dead con artist and cheque bouncer...how about investigating the thousands killed by Cuomo’s decision to send infected pts back into LTC homes?

As it should...and the public has a right to know. And justice needs to be allowed to takes it course. That is required for a free country.

If this SOB cop had 1 ounce of integrity he would turn himself in & face criminal charges. I don’t blame the protesters in Minneapolis, their frustrations are valid. Knowing the effect of his actions & subsequent riots, a real cop would surrender himself & accept responsibility

LA 92. MN 2020. Something deeply festers in the American society. A mélange of racial hatred + acute economic inequality has turned the country into a leaky dynamite stick.
