'Even seeing Chauvin handcuffed in court, the inequality still felt stark. The former officer, convicted of murder, was taken into custody safely and with dignity - treatment he hadn't afforded to Mr Floyd for a fake $20 note,' writes Sky's sallylockwood

'Satisfying' to get justice, says Floyd murder witnessWhen George Floyd bought cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 note, it triggered the wretched sequence of events that led to the end of his life.

"That probably felt the best for me - to let everything out and get it off my chest and tell the world what really happened," he told Sky News. "Disbelief and guilt," he told the court."If I would have just not taken the bill, this would have been avoided."

sallylockwood Two sides to that- had Lloyd complied with his requests it may have been a different story as it would not have allowed him to get to the situation where the officer could do that awful thing .. Lloyd was saying he could not breath with the car window up - so crying wolf ....

sallylockwood More rubbish bias news from Skynews.

sallylockwood Floyd was such a lovely person by all accounts.......

sallylockwood If only Mr.Floyd would have stood up quietly and put his hands behind his back to be handcuffed instead of struggling with police then we wouldn’t be in this position now. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

sallylockwood Why is this still in discussion? It’s not news anymore, it’s history. Focus on law and order, which is a never ending problem in the USA and most countries.

sallylockwood You are indeed a great woman to be called, I assure you that I will bring friends to come and invest with you because of your excellent work you did for me. I will keep sharing the good news about you Hilaryannabel35

sallylockwood That convicted criminal Floyd was resisting arrest and fighting the police officers, so got treated as such, but Chauvin was doing as he was asked so he was treated as such

sallylockwood Saw an advert for sky news stating how it was the worlds impartial news broadcaster. sallylockwood coverage of the verdict had to be the most bias piece of journalism I’ve seen in along time.

sallylockwood The same could be said of any killing or murder trial 🤷‍♂️

sallylockwood If Floyd had simply followed police instructions he would be alive.

sallylockwood Sky News is so super woke now. I remember when Murdoch owned it and it was way better. Sad.

sallylockwood Thunder go fire that woman

sallylockwood Sky news new presenters

sallylockwood Sorry for this miss leading headline BUT Isn't Mr Chauvin complying with the Officer WHERE Mr Floyd did NOT ? IF Mr Floyd shown same compliance I'm sure he be here today and it would of been him being sentenced for money fraud.

sallylockwood It’s a completely different scenario! This is basic for a journalist to understand. Do better.

sallylockwood Seriously what were they going to do other than handcuff him? Put him in a headlock and hit him with a baton to get him to walk out the room? Guess what he was compliant and caused no trouble so he was ushered out the same as a black murderer, a Chinese murderer, or a Mexican etc

sallylockwood What did you want? Justice or revenge? Being civilised means not acting like a lynch mob.
