George Floyd death: Rapper Killer Mike 'tired of seeing black men die' as he tearfully pleads for calm

"We don't want to see targets burning, we want to see the system that sets up for systemic racism burnt to the ground."

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Saturday he was launching an independent investigation after social media videos showed officers using batons and shoving protesters. He later added:"I am duty-bound to be here to simply say that it is your duty not to burn your own house down for anger with an enemy.

"It is time to beat up prosecutors you don't like at the voting booth. It is time to hold mayoral offices accountable, chiefs and deputy chiefs.

Don't remember riots and looting when Tony Timpa was killed by police the same way.

All I want is justice for GEORGE FLOYD WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY

What a W⚓️r playing the poor hard done by race card again.

KillerMike Why is he being allowed to exploit the situation. Attacking the news headquarters was obviously a well organised attack. He is standing with a kill your master shirt on. He is not a slave or a victim. Victim Hood is a big neighbourhood.

KillerMike Let’s just hope justice is swift. Examples here in the UK where families of victims of racist murders have had to wait too long for justice. Stephen Lawrence and Kriss Donald.

KillerMike Go make that speech in Chicago..

KillerMike It’s not nice seeing anyone die, whatever their race or colour

KillerMike White men die too in same situations

KillerMike How ironic! Killer Mike tired seeing black men die. Unreal this shit

KillerMike Love the T-shirt explaining exactly what needs to happen. So many uneducated people writing comments on sky timeline. If you want to know the truth either watch US news or follow US black people and get all the facts

KillerMike But the stealing was another story huh?

KillerMike KillerMIke didn't just 'add' that burning property was not the right course of action. The whole point of the speech, like those of RFK and James Brown on the night MLK was murdered in '68, was to persuade listeners that violent retribution is not the approach to take.

Watch as tens of thousands take to the streets across the US following the death of George Floyd. So far, one person has been killed after shots were fired into a crowd in Detroit. Watch our full report 👇

Rapper Killer Mike makes tearful speech to Atlanta protesters after George Floyd’s deathArtist and activist said George Floyd was like ‘a zebra in the clutch of a lion’s jaw’ when he died after a police officer knelt on his neck Yeah, after George Floyd's death - something that is abysmal and should have never happened in the first place. But the reason why he's there is because Atlanta is being destroyed and he owns a lot of it. What is he going to solve with that tearful speech? He is not the one we feel sorry for. Would have been helpful to introduce himself before the speech under his real name.
