*Derek Chauvin trial. GF didn't get one.

All trials are important even criminals !

Uhm, cos no one wants to live in a world where police kill people cold bloodedly over 8 minutes in full view of civilians and without impunity?

Stop promoting racist BLM and a criminal.

Oh shut up BBC. why is this even a headline ?!

Disturbing headline.....looks like the BBC are going to clear the schedule for this jamboree. I'm sure this event will be important to the BBC and the rest of the diner party community. For the rest of us, getting that slot booked at the local dump is far more important.

Now there is no trump to bash you will fill our screens with this for weeks on end. Channel 4 will be foaming at the mouth for coverage too

I can see two sides to this. Very poor Police practice professional behavior by trainer Chauvin. Those supervising him need to be accountable. But Floyd had a list of Felonies and was dangerous. Was it proportionate use of force? No. Equally the rookie cops not accountable.

It’s not.....

Floyd was armed ,high on drugs and threated the young lady in the shop he was robbing with ,If the 4 hard working family men/ police men had t got there God knows what he would of done. solidarity with the 4 police men free them now ....floyd was a criminal ....!

Why is it important? Is that seriously a headline?! How about because America needs to open it’s eyes to what a divided, backwards & racist country it is. Land of the free is an absolute joke & everyone outside can see that

The copper was just a thug in uniform and George Floyd was a meth head scumbag that mugged pregnant women. One is going to prison for the rest of his life and the other will never mug anyone again. Good result.

It will show what a nasty piece of work this criminal was

💤

It gives you the opportunity to create more societal divisions, even though it was on the other side of the world.

Important for the militant radical leftard movement.

It's not to some of us

Its not important. That's the answer. Racism has become so engrained within the bbc and usa that a violent criminal is celebrated whilst much more deserving cases are ignored. There must be 1000s of innocent people killed by usa police, yet they whine about this nasty cunt.

Why is it so important to the BBC that a career criminal, who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman's belly should even be given even this on Twitter. Unless you are race-baiting which the BBC is doing.

Hahaha... i always said the blm fans are idiots supporting terrorists indirectly

Will the judge and jury be taking a knee?

Why are they having a trial with independent jurors and material facts? - I thought BLM and the woke sheep have already pronounced him innocent via the number of 'likes' on twitter.

It’s not

Let's face it, we know the outcome

Because it’s sponsored by the state to push a political agenda 🤷‍♂️

California with more homeless than anywhere. LA the most progressive city in world is filled with homeless, drugs, violence and trash everywhere.

It's important to debunk all the cynical trash leftist liars such as those infesting media like the BBC have spun. Using Floyd's death to act as apologists for Marxist scum in BLM and promote your own leftist agendas

He was saying 'I can't breathe' while sitting in the police's car with nobody touching him. Its on video. Trump is already out, so please stop it already. What you're doing is a crime. Chauvin is innocent.

Cos it might prove Fentanyl Floyd died of something other than his neck being leaned on & give BLM thugs an excuse to start rioting looting & demanding police defunding. So of course if the cops are found not guilty the shit stiring Lefty media will blame institutional racism.

Its not

Hope they finally fimd him guilty of fraud and drug abuse. The world doesnt need criminals like that.

I could not give a flying fuck 😡😡😡

George Floyd's death is unfortunate but the real culprits behind this horrible crime, a symbol of discrimination like others, are politicians and governments. They create societal divisions, promote tensions, hate among groups for a power crab - the 'Divide & Conquer' strategy.

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. SamuelEddy_

George Floyd an unrepentant criminal..rap sheet. ...

It's not

Victim hood. Self flagulation..

Because he's guilty?

Because the MSM and BLM decided on the facts of the matter before charges were pressed and long before the trial began?

It isn't important to most people.

This is very possibly heading for a miscarriage of justice. The man charged with his knee on the neck didn’t kill Floyd, it was the one holding his back. He wasn’t unable to breath because his throat was blocked but because he couldn’t raise & lower his chest.

Fentanyl Floyd died from a drug overdose.

If Floyd was shit, you must acquit.

Its not

Is it true George Floyd had gun felon charges, held a gun to a pregnant woman? Or are these just false roomers?

Just another excuse for people of colour to put the massive chip back on their shoulders and destroy their own cities. I’m getting the popcorn ready

It’s not.

L I V E G. F. MURDER TRIAL Court T V Sky Ch. 1 7 9 Monday 2 p m

To uphold the very important system of law and order no matter who it applies to....

the REACTION to the POLICE KILLING of Mr. Floyd. COMPARE----------a n d----------CONTRAST the REACTION to the POLICE KILLING of

Wonder how floyds victim feels with such a fuss about the man that threatened her life

A lot of people outing themselves as racists on here, expressing their satisfaction of an unarmed black man murdered by the police in broad daylight

Floyd was a piece of human garbage and the world is a slightly brighter, safer place for not having him in it, was Chauvin right in the way he physically handled said human garbage? That’s what the trial is for.

Which one?

Let’s stir things up again. Give it a rest.

The World is watching?

George Floyd - Remain In Perseverance - is important because blacklivesareus Fuck the money propaganda! Only a few few are getting paid. None of is this is racial. It's all about that dirty money team.

If it was that important Oprah Winfrey would be running it

It's vital that Chauvin gets a fair trial based on the evidence.

Hahaha it not a trial😅🤮

George Floyd was a piece of social crap.

Why you publicising a criminal?

It likely won't come to anything, meaning all the rioting, etc will begin again.

He deserved what happened to him

It's the DerekChauvin trial. Please report the facts. George Floyd is not on trial.

Reword this to Killers of George Floyd's trial and you've got yourself the correct wording..

I'm not really convinced that 'the world' is watching, tbh.

George Floyd overdosed on Fentanyl

To show to the world that Black lives matter👌💯

Good question, why is it seemingly so important for a UK news outlet?

I would not be selected for the jury. I saw the video countless times. Derek Chauvin did it. Guilty!

George Floyd is not on trial. Please stop calling it that.

Trial?

If he’s not given the death penalty no doubt we’ll see riots accusing the judge of being racist. What happens if any juror doesn’t return a guilty verdict? (Will they need to be put into some sort of witness protection)

More good news please(((
