In July 2014, a cell phone video captured some of Eric Garner's final words as New York City police officers sat on his head and pinned him to the ground on a city sidewalk:"I can't
breathe." On May 25 of this year, the same words were spoken by George Floyd, who pleaded for release as an officer knelt on his neck and pinned him to the ground on a Minneapolis city street.
AADaddario Happens to white people ALL THE TIME TruthMatters FactsMatter commonsensematters
AADaddario Last year, 10 unarmed blacks, 19 unarmed whites were killed by cops, most while attacking cops. There are 40M blacks & 700K cops in the US who have 375M encounters w/civilians each year. The idea that cops are killing blacks is a statistical LIE TruthMatters FactsMatter
AADaddario
AADaddario Look at AADaddario once again. Maybe if she spent more time trying to be a better actor & being less political instead of just dating all of her costars every movie, hating police, and being a far-left extremist, she would be doing more than her now failing career these days.
AADaddario Cool 😎
Jbvouga Very sad news dear , don't ripeet it ...
So that told us that 'sometimes police kill Black people. And looking at the video really hurts.' Period. The same that will bring the Cato Institute or Heritage Fdtn to address virtually ANY issue, couldn't find 1 Black, LEFTIST scholar or academic to explore SOLUTIONS?
so lets loot and steal and burn places down to justify how we think. yes very interesting wouldnt you say?
A man who can't breathe means very little to a murderer. The cop, for a lack of a better word should be in prison for life. It's a shame after all these years, racism is still prevalent and as strong as ever in our society.
What about alll the other people that died? We’re murdered?

Please don't spread, the investigation report said that it was not suffocation, but drug abuse.
You losers need to give the 75 million back to the taxpayers.
GeorgeFloyd's exactly the reason why kaepernick7 & others took a knee.YET U had a problem w/ his knee,so now the knee 2 the back of a Black persons neck makes U COMPLICIT in these murders.Protesters,lie in the streets day/night!We'll take shifts & But if U get up-UR an agitator!
Way more than a decade!
More like a LIFETIME of watching black people being murdered.
As usual, NPR is fanning the flames. DEFUND NPR
We are at the point when the policemen are going straight to the necks.
Fight the power 👊🏿 PE
These aren’t separate tragedies, though, are they? They are a continuum of police violence against black people.
AADaddario God created lives not races where humanity is in all this
leave then, we r not abandoning our police, & we r not giving up our guns, we r all allowed to protest, but do not lie, police deal with vile of humanity, bad things happen, criminals get punished for bad things they do, cops r human , sometimes they snap, mr floyd case proves it
RSmith npr donaldjtrump TRUMP LIES AGAIN - outside agitators in Minneapolis not from far Left, but far RIGHT, evidence shows. White Supremacist violence.
I hope every American can breathe freely. like me in China.
💔😞
AADaddario Eat the exchange !!! Sick twisted cho cho train Illegal!!!! War!!!FedEx ground buzz !!! History repeats lessons learned buzz Vegas try been safe all!!!
John Lennon - Power to the people
Been more than a decade
In all seriousness, why do we only watch when black men die from police force? Black men killing black men (much more common), police officers killed on duty (much more common) why don’t watch. Why?
Racism will never completely go away. it will always be there. I used to think that it was getting better, but now.... now I have realized that it is only getting worse. Now, it is being filmed, posted online, and blown out of proportion.
It is disappointing to see how NPR is giving into this destructive race-baiting dichotomy scheme. Since when did this organization lose its way? This is supposed to be NPR!
The 3rd degree murder charge is considered as injustice and unacceptable. We will only accept 1st degree murder charge. And that's justice for floyd
This won’t stop until we make a law to change the minds, to annihilate the notions of mind of superiority, inferiority, race, caste, gender bias etc. The America & presumably the World is totally ignoring this urgent reform to save humanity. Until that law this will go on.
Kick bluethugs out of police force!
It's the politicians who hire the people to make sure other people stay in their place who are the ones who really need to go.
Yeah I'm sicked watching hundreds of all colors of our American cousins dying by the hands of law enforcement.
It has been death by torture for many Americans by law enforcement. Mostly for traffic violations or minor property crimes - if any crimes even were committed. More frequently these Americans are simply targeted by assholes with a badge. Not every policeman is an asshole mind you
These were on video. What else happened that wasn't on video these years
Common sense dictates when a person says 'I cant breath' thats when you stop strangling. BlackLivesMatters PoliceBrutality PoliceReformNow TrumpIsARacist
It’s crap like this that stokes the fires of tension between races. How does it feel to know you’re just part of the problem?
The rioting in cities has nothing to do with Mr. Floyd. Those protests were hijacked by antifa and others who want to cause unrest and destroy major cities in the US. The videos of it says it all. Most people won't destroy their own communities. These vandals are from outside.
When will npr get defunded? Why are tox dollars supporting a Leftist network?
To be fair, it's not just black people that are being killed by police.
There is a plan in place
