A New York City police officer takes a knee during a demonstration by protesters in Times Square over the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer at a rally on May 31, 2020 in New York. Bryan R.

Then Swanson did just that, setting off walking with them, to cheers. He even posed for a selfie with a young black protester, and gave the thumbs up sign. Kaepernick was ostracized by the NFL over his kneeling protest, which earned him and likeminded athletes condemnation and insults from conservatives including Trump.A man screams with emotion as he sees a policeman take a knee while hundreds protest the death of George Floyd next to the White House on May 31, 2020 in Washington, DC.
Leading politicians have adopted the gesture, from Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden to the mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti, who dropped to a knee along with a line of officers as they mingled with demonstrators near city hall on Tuesday.
Outside the Trump International Hotel in Washington on Monday evening, for instance, a line of police standing nose to nose with protesters took a knee as they were heckled by the screaming crowd.
I expect Africans all over the world to a cue from this ugly event and demonstrate strength in solidarity with the Americans and protesters around the world to stop police brutality. We see the rot in American policing, but African policemen are worst!
Na so dem kneel on the guy neck kill am..
This is demonstration of how the man was killed.
It’s important because civil wars start when the armed forces split.
Taking someone's life when he was begging for his dear life.u police turned deaf ear
I can only commend the protesters for behaving maturely because if it were in Nigeria they would take law into their hands and burn him to death instantly. That's only difference I appreciate in their actions. If in Nigeria more deaths would've been recorded.
You too
Do they look stunned to you?
Or just afraid of his life.
What difference does this make, the deed has been done.. apologizing won't solve anything, their hearts are still evil May God save us
