Why on earth would you do this you’re evil and All four of you cops should be charged for murder and sentenced to life without parole a federal penitentiary for murder

Global disgust at this action. US get to grips with law and order, starting with police. No excuses. This cop thought what he did was justifiable, so this is part of the culture of the police.

OMG! Three cop one guy

Is that the US i know which sings the human right? Am i dreaming? If yes,don't wake me up and if you do,don't tell me the truth because,it's gonna hurt me!

AmeriKKKa. Snm

So disgusting. What the hell is wrong with US?

This is disgusting! Anyone defending this in anyway, shape or form are complete c*nts! This is murder!

This is disgusting, just disgusting, makes me sick to my stomach!!! All of the those officers need to be charged for murder!!!! 😡🤬

Racists ! BlackLivesMatter

Absolutely shocking and heartbreaking. Hope these murderers get suitably punished.

The WHITE MEDIA refuse to call this what it is. MURDER. An unarmed, handcuffed man was killed by police officer DerekChauvin who was filmed kneeling on the neck of GeorgeFloyd blocking his airways!

Police brutality in whole world during lockdown

When you fear the police more than the chrona 😳 troubling times.

Murder. Manslaughter at least. Serious jail time for this Ex Officer.

This is terrible!😭😭

Officers involved have been fired, and they should also be prosecuted.

The four officers involved were later sacked. Is this enough? Should they not now be charged with his death?

It's really sad seeing him begging for breathe. 😒. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED.

You come take them away from from their ancestral land, make them fight wars for you, they work until their skins peel off to make your Country reach, you steal all their natural resources to enrich your country and you start killing them as unwanted.

Africans are ever treated like that but why!!!

What should also be mentioned is that many use that ruse so that handcuffs are released and then run away or assault an officer.

trying to report on something other than their anti establishment 🖕🏻and my folks always told me don’t put yourself in the trouble line or you asking for shit motherfucker x

Shocking!😔

kelvin_wang If this happened in Hong Kong?

And I truly hope they don't lie and say he died from COVID-19.

i saw this on the news, its so frustrating why someone can be so ignorant

Worst video I've seen all year.

They were fired Really. They should be all locked up. This is such a sad story. Why does this continue to happen in the US.

This is absurd, especially coming from a developed nation like America. This act reminds me of the Sars in Nigeria, who's going to sue the ass of this barbaric and incompetent police officers? This gory video is simply un-American and sadly the man later died.

Lacks the basics of humanity

Murder.

How many more times can this go on

MarkMasai It’s both painful and unfair that even though the people responsible for this have lost their jobs...it’s still not enough to bring him back to life. 😔😔 BlackLivesMatter

This is America

So sad, Officers should be charged

Oh please.. no one was murdered on the street. Did anyone hear this guys back story. He did not follow the officer’s commands at all. He is no innocent 😇. Play stupid games win stupid prices folks!

Vile

Despicable.

Pure racism

I am crying watching this - my love goes to this man and his family 💔💔💔

Wtf

Police should the public with respect not trying to kill them poor man .

Let's hope the Police gets a life sentence, its Murder .

Stop retweeting

The US is an example of a broken society😪💔

The police should go in for it, give him the same treat he gave to the black man

Miserable

Absolutely appalling behaviour!

America is actually backwards man, full of Joe Exotics, Donald Trump who is a joke it’s funny how shit he actually is. Then, officers like this abusing their power or just being completely stereotypical or racist towards African-Americans. UNREAL.

Most of the worst police officers are found in the US!

Where is the human rights described by this gentleman? Don't Americans need it?

I heard the police still call it minimum force.. Smh

This is so unbelievably fucked up, honestly can't understand how American police get away with doing this shit 😳

The police no matter where in the world should be held accountable for their actions his actions led to that man's death for that he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.... manslaughter

It’s the trump effect in effect where non whites are de humanised. This officer needs to be given murder charge

It looks like authority over there take policy in handling 'crime' to kill first but humanity or legality is later!!! So bad folks!!!

What was cause of death?

'Video shows policeman murdering man by kneeling on his neck' Fixed that for you

According to bystanders, the officer knelt on his neck for around 10mins, most likely cutting off blood supply to his brain.

Surely two police officers are able to detain one unarmed man. Plus he’s already detained whats the need for additional pressure.

That police officer should be sentenced with the death penalty, it’s only fair.

Its kind of clear some police become police for the wrong reasons. Or they get polluted along the way somewhere.

He was murdered in broad daylight.

Stuff like this is not going to go away as long as racist ignorance thrives in the highest positions of political power. It's just furthering the cracks of racist America

He later died. Yeah during that video tape while the cop was kneeling on his neck

At least they were sacked which many aren’t but very very sad

Nothing can justify this.

Thishastostop

The man died on the seen, watch the video carefully.

90% of the time, these videos are deliberately stripped of context to make reasonable actions look reasonable. Having seen the full video, I can't think of any context that would justify what happened.

Genuinely revolting. Who, especially in times like these, thinks this is anywhere near an acceptable way to behave.

Thank god they have been fired r.i.p to that guy

I caught my breath after this video !!

What psychos are liking this. A guy lost his life due to police incompetence/brutality

Well I mean, you commit the crime that’s what I get
