George Floyd, a 46-year-old black American, died after a white policeman knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on 25 May, reigniting the explosive issue of police brutality against African Americans.
"Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don't know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don't know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we're going to make sure that won't be an alien thought to our young ones.
He said it was one of three new commitments by the region's political leaders following the"shock waves" from Mr Floyd's death which have been"felt powerfully and painfully here in Greater Manchester".The protest is part of a day of action against discrimination. Pic: Guy Bell/Shutterstock Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick said she recognised that"feelings are running higher in London" and wanted to reassure the public that officers will"continue with our tradition of policing using minimum force necessary".
Think this cop says it as it is. Blacks have been murdering blacks for years and no protest, No fucking racist Black Lives Matter. Nowhere to be seen. But as soon as a white person kills a black person - well Black Lives Matter racist's appear from nowhere.🤔😡
Our Innocent George.😡

Thousands gather in London for George Floyd protestStar Wars actor John Boyega among those taking part in Hyde Park Black Lives Matter protest Ваши твитты очень полезны для меня I can almost guarantee that a certain type will be more offended, that he's shouting, has his hood up and is wearing gloves, than the murder of another human being. ❄️❄️ You just know the Venn diagram of people complaining about social distancing at the BlackLivesMatter protests and those who took part in drunken congas on VE day is a perfect circle.

Jane Fonda speaks out on George Floyd death and white privilege‘The policies have to be changed, and then white people have to understand the history that has led to this’ She really shouldn’t. Perhaps she can look at stats instead. Ask it if it wants to sit on an anti-aircraft battery in Somalia. Yeah right... What about Black Privilege?
