Donald Williams claims that the officer whose knee was on George Floyd’s neck knew what he was doing.

Williams explained to Cuomo, as he can be heard explaining to the officers in the video, that he’s been trained in martial arts, and said that he told the officer whose knee was on Floyd’s neck exactly what he was doing.

“I told him it was a blood choke,” Williams said. “He knew it was a blood choke. He looked at me when I said it. He put his head down. He did not make any more gestures. He did not say any other thing.” Williams, like Floyd’s family, believes the other officers on the scene are just as responsible for Floyd’s death as the one who knelt on his neck because they didn’t stop it. Williams called them cowards. And what he witnessed will stick with him for the rest of his life.

“Seeing another man that looks like me, that feels like me, that has the same complexion as me, lose his life to another man who had no…he had no feeling,” Williams said. “He had no remorse. He had s**t in him. He had no feeling. I don’t even think he had a heart at that moment, and he’s gonna feel that for the rest of his life, just like I’m gonna hear my man say this: ‘I can’t breath. I want my mama.

George Floyd protests: Video footage goes viral on social mediaProtests over the death of George Floyd while in police custody broke out Wednesday night, with protesters and rioters calling for justice -- and the scenes in Minneapolis, Minn., Los Angeles and other parts of the country could be seen in footage circulating on social media. Insane. What Target or Wendy’s has to do with the killing of George Floyd. I just hope justice is served. Stop calling them protests. They are looting riots. 'Protests'? Vandalism, Theft and Violence are by no means 'protest'! Justice should be done, but injustice does not justify injustice, unless it wishes to shame the name of victims.

Ex-cop: Video of George Floyd feels like a monstrous rerunThe widely-circulated video of a Minneapolis police officer with his knee on George Floyd's neck is horrific, says law enforcement veteran Cedric L. Alexander. But in too many ways, it's a re-run of Eric Garner and the wrenching phrase 'I can't breathe' - and a sobering reminder, despite the firing of the four officers involved, that all police officers are only as good as their training and the culture that surrounds them.
