Police in Minneapolis fired tear gas and bean bag rounds at crowds protesting the death of a black man who was held by officers on the ground while being handcuffed.
Despite the officers being fired protesters continued to gather to call for them to be charged with murder. In a statement, Mr Crump said Mr Floyd had been stopped by police over a forgery accusation, a charge often used for writing bad checks or using fake banknotes for purchases. "If you're unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father's words, you're "more devoted to order than to justice"," Ms King tweeted.
On 13 March in Louisville, three white Kentucky policemen forced their way into the home of a black woman, Breonna Taylor, and shot her in a drug investigation.
Investigate, arrest and do this right, the video evidence is horrific and inhuman, whatever happened to human decency ?
one charged with third degree murder and manslaughter ? whadda swizz ! i thought these so called police had training ? and handcuffs ? full letter of the Law !
only the sack.....how about a murder charge and life in prison !!!
Does 4 sacked brutal police officers equal one dead person of colour.
Bastards in that police force,saw the video..was heartbreaking absolutely disgusting the way your man knealt on his neck..horrible and i hope the 'officers' are proud of themselves
They should be jailed
Murderers sacked wow
A protest over the death of George Floyd folks get tear gassed, a protest over wearing masks where the folks attending have assault weapons and nothing...
Thats Murder. That man died before the ambulance arrived
Should be in jail
He died then and there, not later. You can clearly see the poor guy foaming at the mouth before going limp. Unconscionable barbaric murder in broad daylight. RIP George Floyd.
**** the USA. Criminals hiring criminals.
The death penalty abolition of 1911 should be revoked just for these murderers. Only then will we this behaviour decline
He didn’t later die, he died right there .. no pulse wen medics arrived .. he was murdered on video
There has to be criminal charges. The officers were shouted at that the man wasn't moving and the evil bastard continued obstructing his airways with his knee!
He died whilst they were kneeling on his neck. Murder is the word. Very poor reporting
I hope they’ll also be locked up for life for murder!
A bit late on this news story,as that was known since last night.
White supremacist police officer murdered George Floyd. He died on the spot. There you go.
Deserved
Absolutely shocking every officer should be held accountable for his death. Shocking & sad 💔
They should be hung not sacked. Disgraceful. I wouldn't blame the black community if they burnt the place down after that
Fk 'im'
If you watch the video of what the police did to that man it would be impossible not to conclude that it was murder.
He got 'murder' we all saw,
Sacked? Should be getting life

Oh that'll learn em. Good thing their wrists weren't slapped any harder or it might have hurt.
Uh... any particular reason why the people protesting this were tear gassed when those heavily armed “protestors” who stormed a state senate a couple of weeks ago were allowed to scream into the faces of the guards there and then wander off when they finally got bored?
Correction he died during the assault, it can be clearly seen on video when he dies, absolute disgrace 😡
Surely they will do prison time?
Land of the oppressed, home of the coward. USA🇺🇲
Charge the officer with murder. Then charge their president with genocide.
RIP MR Floyd. 💔😥
SACKED?...they should be charged with murder...thank God I dont live in that country...shame on you USA...land off the Free?..hope those officers DONT sleep at nights
Vile. America the land of the free and the land of opportunity for those with the right skin colour and creed. These so called cops should be on trial for murder. They'll get away with it watch 😡💔
Straight up cold blooded murder!
We think we have it bad here with our police force! Shameful country. Land of the free only if you’re white.
Who knew murder would be a sackable offence eh.. Racist pigs killed the man in broad daylight!
SCUMMEDIA please RT and spread the word

And is he been charged for murder as any other citizen would? Cop is only a civil servant, not above the law. In fact , should be held to a higher standard due to position and training.
Sacked should be the least of their worries They are criminals and deserve nothing less than prison
Should be locked up for life, clearly too dangerous to be in society
They need hanging not sacking, murderers
