Why CNN didn’t mention the killing of this brave man

❌❌❌❌WARNING IF ANYBODY SEES OPERA AND HILLERY (OR 2 FAT OLD LADIED)❌🎱❌🎱❌🎱👫👫👫👫👫👫WITH A DOZEN OR 2 KIDS PLEAS CALL THE 🚔 POLICE❗❗KILLERY & OPERA❌❌NO TATTOOS BUT ANKLE MONITORS CNN HAS REPORTED THEY ARE COLLECTING THEM FOR ❎ADRINACROME

Do all black lives matter or only the ones taken by white cops? 9 black people shot by cops last year, 16 white people! What about this

Last Republican mayor of Minneapolis was in 1973. Liberals have controlled the police force for 50 years. All major offices in MN are held by Democrats. The district where George Floyd was killed is solid blue.

Lol as if this person is an expert what a joke.Last year there were roughly 10mill police and civilian interactions, of them there were about 1,000 police involved shootings, of those about 48 were of unarmed people, & out of those 19 of them were white, and 9 of them were black

Let him know to stay away from people for a photo-op with POTUS abuser liar dictator

Yes

This is what CNN decides is breaking news but no where on their website do you find anything about the Police Officer that was ambushed and killed in California. FU

Go to study. Stand on your feet. And don't blame the whole world and me and whites and police for your failure. Where is no crime, police is not coming. So, fight black criminals in black ghettos not to be ghettos anymore.

Talk about a useless photo op, I guess I’m just too dumb to think they might actually call in experts on the subject. Does this mean Nancy will call them back into session?

wouldnt more black lives be saved if the murders in the streets stopped?surely it would make sense to address this problem first to save more black lives

The mad man

R U going to call the head of the police union in Minneapolis and ask him/her WHY this officer was not FIRED or forced to resign after receiving 18 complaints? Are they calling the state legal officers why the SCUMBAG had not been fired? 18 civil rights complaints and murder?

Huh ?

What a waste of time. He's no expert. Congress should have more important things to do.

Probably the better choice to speak to congress.

Tw8ce as many un armed whites are killed by police than blacks. That is a fact. Lies don't change it.

Brother of George Floyd please bring this to a halt it was an isolated incident and Not All cops are on a power trip like this one!!!! And we don’t want war and we want peace in America and people to repent and ask God for forgiveness for All these sins!And evil people behind it

It's not about black people ! It's about bad behaviour of cops 👎. They still Killing people with cold blood and without reason

Question: what the fist up means?

This sounds like political game!

He must see what realDonaldTrump did as well

His brother is an expert on police accountibility? Aren’t the police being held accountible?

That’s great! Perhaps you could also have the Widows of our Murdered Police Officers testify to testify concerning Black Lives Matter’s calling for the Murder of Police Officers!

American Black women who stay blonde are Show.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄Racist?!

Obviously the Democrat’s planned-demic hoax is officially over. Everyone can go back to work now ...except the people that weren’t really contributing to society anyway, y’all can protest, or riot, or loot, or murder people, or burn down your own cities

You won’t see this on foxnews - wonder why? 😂😂

I support BlackLivesMatter and punishment for the cops and also justice for George Floyd. But karmically speaking, GeorgeFloyd was a hardened criminal and probably got what he deserved. Look up his long record, the partisan media is silent.

Oh my GAWD.

Mr Phionise also spoke out against the people who are burning down their cities as well as other acts of violence.

Ateast government in US listen to its people. In China and in the Philippines, you might end up in jail 🙄 US diversity and strong culture makes them beter human.

Breaking: In no way is this a photo op.

If only questions were raised as to why these instances keep happening in democrat controlled areas. I'm sure one way or another it'll be Trump's fault as usual with the House Judiciary Committee these days.

Oh my God more criminals in Washington DC

I hope they wont try to arrest him too

Oh my God more criminals in Washington DC

What is there to testify on? Everything was caught on video.

Why? I wouldn't... grieving is a process. It's been enough committee meetings.

Because he’s an expert on the subject not emotionally charged ....

Umm so what actually makes him qualified? You all talk about the president using props? This is dems using this man as a prop for the election!

Peaceful protests for George Floyd prevail in New Jersey, despite history of racial tensions with policeFor the past week, tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets -- in the U.S. and all over the world -- to voice their anger over the tragic death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody with a white officer's knee on his neck. In Newark, civic leaders, police and mayors I was five when the race riots were going on in my hometown of Somerville. I didn't understand racism then, and I don't understand it now. To all racists, and would be racists that are confused by the numbers of white people standing in solidarity with people of color in condemning the murder of George Floyd, the message is clear. NOT IN OUR NAME
