Many police step out to show support for George Floyd demonstrators.

Some police and sheriff's officials across the country have said the behavior of the Minneapolis officers on May 25 was unacceptable. Typical of the responses was one from Art Acevedo, the police chief in Houston, Floyd's hometown, who said two days later that Floyd's death should be"condemned by all in law enforcement and our extended community."

"His death serves as a stark reminder that when bad policing happens, it disproportionately impacts communities of color and poor communities,"But as demonstrators have continued to turn out by the thousands in the face of riot police, National Guard troops and the threat of infection with the coronavirus, Acevedo and some other law enforcement officers have gone a step further.

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo walks arm in arm with a woman during a Justice for George Floyd march on Saturday.Acevedo, who joined a Justice for George Floyd march on Saturday, addressed a crowd outside a Houston-area church Sunday, his eyes rimmed with emotion, to say not only that he understood the protests but also that he was outraged at Americans who"don't see a problem.

Give Kaepernick7 a Job in the NFL!!! Remember how vilified he was for calling this out years ago, and now the police are doing it!

Probably all illegals

YELLOWVEST ANTIVIOLENCE ANTIFASCIST 1StAMENDMENT DON YELLOW VESTS, BE ANTI VIOLENCE! End the carnage now !

NOT ENOUGH

This is a psychological tactic. I hope no one is believing this.

Hypocrites

NBA ... should these officers be blackballed like Kaepernick7 ?

What the United States should do is not to repeat such tragedies, instead of giving sympathy and support after the tragedies have happened again and again, the victims ’lives cannot be repeated.

This is how good people solve problems. By first acknowledging the problem, respecting each other and coming together. Great to see!

Oh do fuck off. Where were you before?

Clearly staged, for PR....

Wonderful people ❤️❤️❤️❤️

America's Terrorist wear uniforms.

The only good cops are those taking a knee.

Why didn't they stop this? It's just a show, they are all the same.

Good cops who actually do the job of protecting all the people.

Is a shame how few bad officers ruin the image of the good one.. by doing the uniform wrong those that take their jobs seriously are marked no thanks to those who abuse the uniform.

My hope is that more LEOs will throw support in with the protesters, thereby defusing the growing tensions.

HongKong stand with trump, help and save HongKong plz

Not buying it sorry. It's too late

За такие твитты я люблю твиттер

Law Enforcement across this nation needs an enema! Get out all the bad nasty elements. Make them all have to pass psyche exams and maybe even a lie detector before even going to the academy, and maybe again after they graduate? Maybe you can weed out bad apples early!

Too little too late I would say....

Where are the 'I'll kneel with Kaepernick instead' signs.

Will POTUS call these cops sons of bitches?

We need the white supremacist cops weeded out of ranks.

cool, fire them

America Unit!! Time for revolution.

Wow, they all need to be ran out of town like the cowards they are. U never bend the knee to tyrants and saboteurs. Cowards, all of them, such a disgrace to everyone who looked to them for leadrship in dark times.

Now they take a knee. Hmm maybe Kapernick will get his job back.

bravo to these officers

Traitors

PSPresseschau Ok. Now single out the bad cops, proscecute them and start rounding up the other bad people! Everything else is just a photoOp

This means nothing. Find those bad cops and fire them!

This is the America we need, want and deserve . Trumps flacid leadership has no capacity to heal us, we have to find a way to heal ourselves. ✊🤝

Thank you.

Until one of the pigs in the pigpen decides not all animals are created equal and defecates on our faces again GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydMurder GeorgeOrwell

Strategic and inauthentic but still decent to see

this is bullshit propaganda. there will be no justice until the oppressive system that the police are the backbones of is completely reformed. don’t forget to report on footage of cops disrupting peaceful protest like here too:

UNITY. LOVE. riots = destruction = chaos....a loss

It is the responsibility for all police departments to root out bad/racist cops (which includes those in charge of departments - we've seen many many times on YouTube, senior officers, abusing their positions or even the law, up to and including Chiefs of police). CNN MSNBC

StrongerTogether -API🌅

Don’t both sides. Bad ppl get arrested. Bad cops are protected by the law, their unions, and taxpayers pay their brutality settlements

Time the message coz this aint fir Goerge alone but for all the brothers gunned down in police brutality. No more murders

This is a good first step

They could show support by crossing that thin blue line and reporting their coworkers

This happened today on our streets, too. Need more, more, more.

Are the black jacks, pepper bullets, and attacks on non-violent protesters and journalists not driving that message home?

Not in SanDiego 😂😂 SanDeigoProtest

Abolish the police

Awesome.

ArtAcevedo chief certainly you are a super hero . God bless

Pitty it toke the Internet to be over run by police brutality videos. If they would of done this from the beginning. It would of prevented all this! Or am I wrong 🤔

Naw

Awesome 😎 💙🇺🇸

Great, now demilitarise them and get your doctors some PPE

Good for them

They did. And seems got the shit looted out of cities anyway.

This is PROPAGANDA folks

They are done
