Lock him up and let the inmates have him.

Always making the news here in Europe in a bad way like always ! u ppl need rise up theres more bad cops than good cops my heart is literally on fire by hate, legal murder this is enough this has to end, every single fckn day i see the same sh*t

Watch the video closely and you can see this pig purposely pushing his knee down harder and harder on his neck

It's a woman cop too.

America’s original sin is racism. That’s why it’s the biggest problem. Don’t believe me? Ask the Native Americans, and Blacks.......

Their s always more to the story. The media zeros in on what they want!

George Floyd was murder that's exactly what happened and if ur not outrage,angry n frustrated then u may be part of the problem,did we not learn anything from the Rodney King incident almost 30yrs ago and 4 officers were involved in that incident as well, prayers

*killed

When black men start fighting back and kills a cop in self defense it will be murder unless it's on tape and cross your fingers for luck.

He was murdered!! By racist monsters. Lock them up!!!!!

African-American GEORGE FLOYD GOT MURDERED By A White Minneapolis Cop Cuting Off His Airway*

Murder, this makes me sick to my stomach.

He has a name 💁🏽‍♀️

I can't imagine being there and video taping this. I would have ran and knocked that cop off of the victim. I could not stand by and watch. If I were arrested, I would not care. This makes me sick and these police officers should go to prison for murder.

Could you help clear up the fact that this is not the main cop. However, this man is a POS as well

It's very easy to cut off someone's breath or air flow when pressure is applied to the neck. I was choked and felt myself going out until someone stopped it, years ago.

TMZ gotta make a point to elaborate the color of their skin. Great job at stirring the pot!

Fvck the police! 😡😡😡😡😡

He was murdered!! 2 more cops are holding his feet and another has his knee in his back behind the vehicle plus he was handcuff! 4 cops fired!! They all need to be arrested and charged!!

Brutal and very heartbreaking.

He belongs in jail

Minneapolis cop , he was a cop

Disgusting & sickening. I hope they are brought up on murder charges.

No matter what did or not , this cop should not have his knee like that on that men , that was hard to watch

The cops demeanor is chilling. Just sitting their with his knee on George's neck, hands in pockets, completely relaxed like nothing is going on. All while people are literally watching this man die. And the other 3 officers did nothing.

Text FLOYD to 55156 and demand justice for Mr Floyd

LetsAllJustVibe America would be much safer without Afro-Idiots upping crimenumbers . Why the hell even name a black guy Afro-Amrican ? I am 100 % sure he never step foot in Africa and he sure hell doesnt know how to get there.

'... Conceived in Liberty, and Dedicated to the Proposition that ALL MEN are created equal...' Lincoln said this more than 150 years ago, people still not living in peace

You shouldn’t be a cop if you can’t handle a situation lawfully and professionally

That white policeman knew that black man couldn’t breathe. He ignored the pleas of him saying he couldn’t breathe. I’m sick and tired of excuses they have just to kill somebody. I hope and pray his spirit drive him crazy.💯

Please repost this story in a few hours, I need to see it about 20 more times. 🙄 youaretheproblem

Smh... no words... when will this brutality ever end?

Do you get more Likes by reporting 'Black man' and 'White Cop' versus 'Man dies after Cop cuts off his airway'

This video is so disturbing on so many levels. Made me sick

killin some body while pickpocketin wawooo

You got MURDERED wrong

Is this what the autopsy showed?

why do you have to point out that the cop is white?trying to keep racism going tmz?

Okay this is so DISGUSTING. Those cops deserve to be in prison after all this. And in which state did this happen?

More rave baiting from TMZ. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS break it down in racial teems. FUCK IDENTITY POLITICS

This is disgusting

It’s called MURDER!

Porn for Lefties

He was murdered by a white Minneapolis cop!

BHANGi_tweets This recist must also face the same wrath.

Kill him

This is murder

WhiteSupremacy 😡

This is police brutality with people haveimf phones and recoding things no way you can get away with pulling shit like this

It’s kind of impossible to respect a police officer when they think it’s ok to do this I thought they were suooosed to help people and do there job well this ain’t it no respect what’s so ever for this what’s has this world become total disgrace 🤦‍♂️ so very sad

This is a total disgrace to see something like this happen no need for it what’s so ever a cop doing something like this just cause you have a badge doesn’t mean you can treat people like this abuse of power he should be having charges on him instead of just being fired

if we the people did that to them we would be put in jail but since he's a cop he will get off

fire the mother fucker

Disgusting.. disgraceful.. firing these cops is not enough

Homocide. Cop needs to be charged.

Ok so basically anything less than a murder charge and conviction will not be good enough. This cop is a straight up killer. What is the difference between this and if I did the same to someone and they passed. Just cause he is a cop. Nah that is not gonna cut it !

White? Shouldn’t he be called Italian American or Irish American? White? Seriously?

Got Killed

It’s called murder!

*** God Bless the Good Police🙏... But we NEED You to take a stand & Intervene against this Brutality on American citizens. So why would Americans allow Israel to Train American Police to Treat US Citizens like they Treat Palestinians whom they HATE?🤷‍♂️

All Police officers should get tested for steroids..

*** People IGNORE the Fact that Baltimore, NY, DC, LA & hundreds of police received training on crowd control, use of force and surveillance from Israel’s national police, military and intelligence services.... In Israel! They are TRAINED to Kill!🤷‍♂️

🤬🤬🤬🤬

He had a Name. Yes

he was murdered😒

I can’t breathe I can’t believe here we go again they were fired will they be charged with murder 😭😭😭😭

Let's cut off his airway

Hongkong people come to see how your father would like to treat u

That’s Murder straight up

Just devastating. I don’t know what happened before this but my God, that cop is as cavalier as anyone has ever been. While squeezing the life out of another man. Fire him, and then try him for murder.

George Floyd was murdered on camera. Not even wild animals are treated like this.

This is horrible but black on black murders are 10X worse 49 shot in Chicago this weekend.

Something about this officer makes my skin crawl. His entire demeanor screams murderer. I do prefer to see the body cams and what happened prior to this you know there is footage out there and it often paints a more accurate picture than TMZ, msm fake news & salacious headlines.

When will this madness stop ✋

I guess this is a new tv series for whyte folks

Sad he had to die to stop resisting

This is excessive force that contributed to a man’s death. There is zero evidence of this being a racial hate crime.

The best headline so far

inhuman

Not a single comment from our 'president'

Manslaughter

If these officers get sentenced to death for murder, they should have to die the same way

I guess the medical examiner has already released the autopsy? Or just jumping to conclusions?

I think it's a right time for y'all come back home. The safest place in the world still remains here in Africa

Fix that title, 'African-American man is killed.'

Wrong on every single level. It’s murder.

GEORGE FLOYD. SAY ME NAME ✊🏿

Deguelasse what can i sais we live en Heel

The cop is a murderer and should go straight to jail.

This is why Kaepernick7 is out of nfl and kneels to end/prevent police brutality for everyone who thinks he’s disrespecting the flag. He isn’t. He’s fighting for this NOT TO HAPPEN, FOR PEOPLE NOT TO LOSE THEIR LIVES FROM THE POLICE

How inhumane !!

That’s what you get for being a black man in the USA. Should have moved to the Caribbean!

ACAB

Better to live and die in Africa

Because FB keeps deleting our videos. 🙄 this was before everything went up in smoke. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd icantbreathe BlackLivesMatter

No one should be treated like that. The cops that stood around and did nothing deserved to get fired. They're just as guilty as the one who kept his knee on George Floyd's neck. They're suppose to protect and serve not kill and destroy.

🗣 HIS NAME IS GEORGEFLOYD AND I HOPE THE OFFICERS DIE THE SAME WAY THEY KILLED 🤷🏽‍♀️ KARMA

When this Racism will come to end ?

Why does race have to be pointed out?

Sick fn animal doing this to a man that could not harm them at all. Evil bastrds

But the black-on-black murders continue every day:

MURDERED💔

Correction: He was murdered

There is a race in America that it has forever neglected to condemn.... and that is Racist White. There’s White, then there is Racist White. Survey that, and the numbers would be disgusting

Ok

We see a *Murder in broad daylight and we just capture it. Smh.

And then someone tells me the USA🇺🇸 is a free society.......🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This headline is a little too subtle. I ont like that

Eric Garner 2.0 😕

Dies? WAS MURDERED

He's got a name

Another deliberate death but Jesus got him don’t trip

What about the murder charges?

But if we start doing to them what they do to us it's wrong.

This is why they kneel... Any questions?!?

Listening to my scanner app and they are shooting gas at protesters in Minneapolis but guys with guns protesting because they don't like to be told to stay home for everyones safety two weeks ago you hardly seen any police anywhere!! This is nuts man!

Acab

Di you reckon colour had something to do with it...

Innocent African-American man George Avery was murdered by Minneapolis cops**** wasn’t that hard

I bet you there is going to be protesting in Minneosota for justice by killing an unarmed guy from the cop and put him on desk duty.

y’all late

The police have been watching too many movies.

Is it so hard to write a correct headline? He was murdered bro
