The post includes a photo of the officer pinning his knee on Floyd’s neck alongside a photo of Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem while a member of the San Francisco 49ers. It was topped with the caption “This ... ... Is Why.” “Worlds honestly sickening. It really is..... no explanation,” Odell Beckham Jr., a three-time Pro Bowl NFL receiver who plays for the Cleveland Browns, wrote on Twitter.

When are they going to realize ' voicing outrage ' isn't working? Everytime a black person is killed they come out to do the same stuff and then move on. It's time for them to think of something different. Like, don't play another game until this happens no more.

Hypocrites only voice out when the issue is convenient.

We need more voices ... This is almost getting outta hand 😟🧐

The unarmed black man didnt die...the unarmed, cuffed Blackman was killed by strangulation right in public view.

Has this guy ever 'voiced outrage' when African Americans killed policemen or whites? Or that between 1976 and 2014 African Americans murdered almost 200,000 other African Americans? If not, he is a racist.

this is why

What is'forgery in progress'? I'll bet it is non-violent. Why didn't they just..... Too late now.

Blacks life matters, it's so disheartening to watch a fellow human being killed in a broad daylight, all because he is black

Meanwhile in Chicago over the weekend. Deadliest Memorial Day weekend since 2015 and NO protests ? NO global coverage !

How many times must people show outrage over killing of unarmed black men before it is stopped? All of it has become a vicious cycle of killing of unarmed black man - Outrage -Accept and move on -Another killing of unarmed black man..like that like that. Enough is enough!

Where's KingJames's outrage for a million people in concentration camps?

👍🏾🔥💥👏🏽

MUR-DER.

Very unfortunate incident. But I didn’t hear any outrage over the killing and shooting in Chicago last weekend!

NBA athletes should refuse to Play until Justice is served to unarmed Blackman. LeBron James put your money where your mouth is. KingJames NBA NBA

Always glad to hear his opinions on anything...🙄🙄🙄

Another one using the race card

Horrible situation. The cop will rot in jail. Having said that, can he help out some inner city youths to prevent them from being slaughtered by gang bangers in the Chicago streets or nah?

YAWN

Of course, he never misses an opportunity to incite rage and divide by race

Shocker...
