'If you got a chance to know him, you would have loved him,' George Floyd’s brother Rodney said on MSNBC. 'You can't name someone that never had a great experience around him.'

"I mean, he had a great understanding of life and [he was a] great people person — walk in a room and absorb the whole room," Floyd said."He was an all-around man, and good to his family, kids, mother, brothers, friends. He would help anyone who needed help."

Video of the Monday night incident showed a white police officer with his knee on Floyd's neck as Floyd pleaded,"Please, please, please, I can't breathe."

MSNBC I'm pretty sure there was one woman who didn't have a great experience around him -- the woman whose home he invaded and robbed at gunpoint.

MSNBC RIP George. I watch the ugly video where the police took your love live. It is so painful to die like that.

MSNBC What's the rogue officer's name?

MSNBC Why is this tolerated in the US. The rest of the world is horrified

MSNBC Doubtful.

MSNBC All he wanted was some groceries. First degree murder File it Minneapolis

MSNBC “It took everything he had to get the words out, to push enough air out of his lungs to produce the words, hoping that the officer would hear him and care enough to lift up his knee.” Read more at

MSNBC he looks like a very nice man.

MSNBC A Prayer for your loss

MSNBC We're tired!

MSNBC Choking an unarmed United States Citizen to death in broad daylight is homicide and the officers should be charged, not only fired.... NYPD Chokehold Death Ruled a Homicide - ABC News - via ABC

MSNBC The only way change will happen, is that the CivilRights division, revamp the corrupt FBIMinneapolis Division, and start to dismantled some Minnesota local police departments for civil rights violation! Mike Freeman needs to do his job, but he is racist and bias too!

MSNBC The police came after George Floyd because of an alleged forgery. Wells Fargo once cheated on their customers (opened 2 Mio fake accounts). Did the cops come after the CEO crushing his neck? Wells Fargo's toxic culture reveals big banks' eight deadly sins

MSNBC Some vigilante justice could be justified in this instance. But a life of prison, having been a dick ex cop would suffice. Hope Bubba pounds him regularly.

MSNBC So sad 😔 JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

MSNBC The crazy thing is that all this went down allegedly over a fake $10 bill. WTF?

MSNBC When he begged 'Please don't kill me'/that was overwhelming 😔...... All four must be charged & that police officer who deliberately & slowly made us 🌏 watch. He must face ⚖️.

MSNBC Do we know the reason of a such act of policeman?
