"Nearly six years after Eric Garner's death in New York — and four years after Philando Castile's in Minnesota — this tragic video shows how little meaningful change has emerged to prevent police from taking the lives of Black people," Paige Fernandez, the policing policy adviser for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement.

The prosecutors' case had hinged on proving that Pantaleo acted willfully when he used more force than was necessary to arrest Garner.

All 4 of them need to be charged with murder. Minnesota is such a racist/bigoted state.
Recommend to wear masks, keeping social distance for protecting each other from Covid19 Transmittion, which means showing the respect others at least and avoiding the crowed demostration, by finding the alternative way....
Is this Unity, Peace, the US always pretend to be preaching? Reverse psychology at play😭🤔😥👀
not about being black. The knee to the neck move was a crime against humanity. those cops were being sadistic and indifferent to a humans cry for help. It’s a crime, I believe. And I hope it gets investigated properly. Everything is not about race. This is about Right or wrong
I dislike racism. Its like taking out anger on someone not thinking you have family too as the demised has family.Truly, its uncalled for. Some join defence force with a motive whereby they should be protecting or arrest for wrongdoing not to kill,resisting arrest its offence
Unfortunately united state is still in Abraham Lincoln's time. No progress at all.
It is unfortunate that we are back in this place again...especially during this time...my condolences for the poor behavior of those guilty cops...it is shameful💔💔💔💔😔😔😔😔
Law enforcement are racist bullies hiding behind a badge
Being black in America dies not equal death it means you can be mayor or president judge lawyer It's all been done
I've been talking about this problem for years and years. Rogue police do this because they generally enjoy a great deal of protection from the FBI and Department of Justice and the courts. I wrote about it in my book 'Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case'.
Blessings to the family. My heart aches for you.
WOE TO THE CITY OF BLOOD, FULL OF LIES, FULL OF PLUNDER, NEVER WITHOUT VICTIMS! NAHUM 3:1
BlueTurbanStone killing black men is a national past time, not baseball, again we're facing another brutal murder caught on video, it doesnt end there, more to come of the same. this is simply a reflection of the society we live in, our lives have never mattered in racist infested system.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Blacks make up about 12% of the population but commit 24% of all hate crimes.
Where is the human rights described by this gentleman? Don't Americans need it?
Diblasios onesies policy..oops
No one should have to relive that. Justice must be served.
Oh, but it is, and racists know it and leverage it weekly to kill African Americans in this country. If it’s not, why else would Amy Cooper threaten the African American man at the NYC park by calling a cop cos he told her to put a leash on her dog, a park rule.
While the mayor sends his cops to shoot tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters. Nice job MayorFrey
Yea well it isn’t SO YOUR GOOD
Where is the human rights described by this gentleman? Don't Americans need it?
I think I would have risked getting shot or an assault on an officer charge but he needed punched in the face to knock him off that guys neck.
So sad...my hear is broken for his family..I pray for Gods love to help them thru
I'm so sorry 💔 the police were very hostile
maybe stop resisting arrest....and let the situation play out civilly in a court. Situation solved
So sad. I hope those cops go to jail.
😢
My life partner is a retired PD, She saw that video and was totally discussed and embarrassed by the actions of those officers! Let’s put the knee on those necks and let them experience the fear of not being able to breathe!
Exactly
BettyBuckley I cant figure out how to express how I feel about this other than I am so sorry.
If I were God, I’d change the color of black people to green. Maybe if they’re mistaken for money, their lives would be spared by everybody—including at the hands of other black people. It ain’t easy being black!! 🧑🏿🦲
He was already handcuffed and on the ground. If he was still being aggressive at that point all they had to do was use their taser's.👍
How many times do we need to say 'Enough is enough'?
I’m so sorry...
They were 'fearing for their life' narrative will be used, I guarantee it
And look at how fast the city reacted. These officers are done. They will be facing charges soon if they are guilty. This is no longer 'Breaking News'.
Those police should be hung and I am grateful some one got it on video I am so sorry for your lost they should be in jail.what do they mean layed off from the job they should be in jail with no Bail
AND LET THE NBC RACE BATING BEGIN BECAUSE WE FIND OUT BIDEN IS A RACIST DEM HACKS
