Hope he rots in prison.

He must be strangled to death

Yay.

OPEN LETTER TO UN: WE, THE BLACKS OF THE WORLD WANT TO BREATHE. PLEASE CREATE A LAW (THE GEORGE FLOYD ACT) THAT PROHIBITS THE POLICE FROM KILLING US. NO MORE SUMMARY EXECUTIONS. AWAY WITH THIS DAMOCLES SWORD.

Y'all won't even name the cop.

DaniGaravelli1 And so he should. With authority to use force there comes responsibility and accountability

A DISGRACE TO MAN KIND...CANNIBAL..

No point.. he'll walk😡

AllLivesMatter StopTheGenocideInSouthernCameroons hbaldwin DailyMailUK hrw UN_PGA nytimes

Finally. Good work. Now get his accomplices.

should be killed like the way he killed our brother...he is a cannibal...

Damn right! Absolutely raging at this. And to think the others did nothing when he became unresponsive. Feel sick.

This is not enough. This officer violated many more laws including hate crimes laws. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law together with the other offices who watch crime happening in front of them & did nothing.

petty charges but they charged him to stop the riots

You can bet your life he’ll walk away from it, it’s all just a show to try and charm the situation down.

Rednecks

Racist white Americans!

His FULL WEIGHT was on George Floyd's neck... DerekChauvin's hands were in his own pockets so he wasn't supporting himself any other way than placing his FULL WEIGHT on GeorgeFloyd's neck to maintain his balance. And 2 other cops were on his chest and legs. WTF! KillerCops

America has always been a white supremacist PoliceState. Minneapolisprotests donaldisoverparty Minneapolis Minneapolis

Killing for pleasure should earn this bloody racist a death sentence

It is supposed to be executed for his feet on the killing of the victim because it was already insisting on his killing

Police officer filmed killing George Floyd... Fixed it for you

About time. The guy has tons of complaints about him. If he gets off... Watch out. America will explode.

and presumably murder charges or accessory charges for his colleagues who stood by and protected him while he committed murder?

It definitely looked like murder but what if he is found not guilty? It's going to get ugly.

Black people should go on a all nation strike from all sports. That will be a real mesage!

Yessssssss!

3rd degree manslaughter He’ll enjoy a nice sabbatical in a minimum security resort...maybe even the one Epstein stayed at

What do you think of this Shotgun_Go_Boom? Another backward racist clown like yourself about to get what they deserve You just carry on cuddling your gun

Throw away the key. Absolutely disgusting.

He should rot in prison for what he did!

I am curious as why it was third degree. I believe it should be first degree.

It’s show the enormous power that American police had over its people.

why would you film that, youd try help the poor man and get the policeman off him

When are you going to mention they knew and worked with each other

Quite right too. Cruel and racist. 😔😢

Only third-degree murder and manslaughter? Didn't they know each other and work together as security for a club? Sound like there might have been some premeditation here...

Thank god. The absolute shame that it took a riot for this justice to result.

Hope he fries

I should think so going by the video. No doubt a court will determine guilt or otherwise.

Third degree murder means you killed someone accidentally Kneeling on a neck and staying there for 8 minutes until you take their life is 'accidental'? Apparently so if he’s of a different race and you’re a white officer in America

The devil needs an electrocution and die the same way motherfucker

Third degree murder though ...manslaughter which isn’t right. He should be charged with first degree

The more accurate headline is 'Police officer filmed killing George Floyd charged with murder'

STITCH UP

Now to make sure the charges stick! NoJusticeNoPeace!

A sweet welcome is waiting in the Prison.

But there where 3 people on top of 1 man

State Congress now busy amending the criminal code to include in the category of offences '4th degree not-really-murder murder', so they could charges him with this instead.

3rd level murder by mistake! I wouldn't be surprised if racist American regime gave a medal to the killer.

Good thing. Not gonna stop the looting and pillaging though.

Finally one great news!

GeorgeFlyod

Amy Klobuchar refused to prosecute him.

So riots should not be questioned.

Good. I hope he rots.

About time!

Anger towards US police mounts after George Floyd killing in MinneapolisMinneapolis has been hit by violence since Floyd’s death with stores and restaurants looted and burnt Thanks to SimonMarksFSN I didn't realise that the phrase Trump uttered 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts' is a well known racist trope in the US started by a racist mayor many years ago. Thought it might have been. COVID has affecting minorities disproportionately to white America. A member of their community was murdered with the police showing no remorse on video footage . They are displaying the only real messaging the props lawmakers to take decisive measures to protect minorities. So tragic that Racism is the violent flaw in the DNA of the USA.
