The Minneapolis police department fired four officers Tuesday after a black man died Monday night after being taken into police custody, the mayor’s office said.
The department’s decision follows an announcement earlier Tuesday that federal and state authorities had launched an investigation into the incident after a Facebook video surfaced of the encounter.
Will they be getting compensated 🧐
One day black people shall rise!!!!! The roles will reverse.
His name is GeorgeFloyd and he was neck kneed to death ...exactly like execution by hanging. MinneapolisPoliceMurderdHim
Good.... next charge them with murder.
They should be arrested...
Just as violent felons do not represent the U.S. populations these former Police officers do not represent law enforcement. They are now criminal suspects facing potential manslaughter charges.
He was murdered
The murder perpetrated by four Minneapolis police officers confirms TWO facts: 1) GOOD cops are the EXCEPTION; 2) BAD cops act like thugs and with impunity because they know police unions exist ONLY to protect bad cops
I'm sick, Why couldn't the officer let up, sit him up, put him in the patrol car. How many times times do you have to say to someone pressing on you neck that you cant breathe. The other one justifying it, saying he can talk. He called out to his mama, nose bleeding... Murderers
SenRickScott stole a billion dollars from Medicare, this guy got executed for pocket change
They should go to jail for murder! Enough is enough!!
He has a name and it’s GeorgeFloyd
FIXED YOUR HEADLINE. Breaking: The Minneapolis police department fired four officers after a black man WAS MURDERED after being taken into custody, the mayor's office said
Rewrite the headline. He was murdered by 4 cops while already in handcuffs and pinned down... he didn’t die after being taken into custody. he was murdered right there on the street
they should go to prison for murder.
If cops were called for someone else causing the death of a civilian, they would arrest and charge with murder instantly. How can cops, not be held even more responsible than the average person for the same thing and instead they tolerate it? Wtf is wrong with people over there
Black man has a name, George Floyd He didn’t die, he was brutally murdered SayHisName MinneapolisPolice
Fired? How about arrested?
Let’s hope that murder entails more than getting fired.
The person DIED! And all they did was fire them? Really? Is this american justice?
good
Good Now arrest them
He was murdered by those cops. KillerCops
That guy was someone's son, or dad, brother or husband. WTF. Lock those killers up!
ok good. Now NYGovCuomo GovWhitmer CAgovernor chicagosmayor need to go! 4 more tyrants, then come back get Gates and FAuci
TowerOfBabelCa Their future.

He was MURDERED
Officers did not get due process
Inexcusable. Plain murder
Charge them all with murder! But all the “good” cops will come out and support them.
Another lesson learned at a persons life ...as pride tag. This is a very horrible event.
Fired cuz it went viral. Had no one video the murder, they would have gotten away with it
Lockthemup
Murder should be the charge
*AFTER THEY KILLED AN INNOCENT BLACK MAN*
The useless black men still sleeping with their enemy's. All white they are not Jesus, you must wake up and fight for your right.
Please tell me that's not it?! This needs to go wayyy further!
Correct headline would read “...fired four officers after VIDEO SURFACED showing...”
Not just that,the should be arrested .
I’ve seen this video and It’s haunted me all day. How this is happening in this day and age is grotesque. They should be standing trial for charges.
Not enough. The whole system must be reviewed, I’m not American but news appear everyday are disgusting and show the lack of responsibility
That’s a start. Now charge them with murder and a hate crime.
That was fast, and rightfully so. Such men are a disgrace to their calling and an embarrassment to the overwhelming majority of good and decent police officers.
Also this
Now charge them with murder!
No jail? Just getting fired and inevitably rehired by other racist blue bloods?
Say his name...
It still bothers me that the spokesperson even fixed their mouth to say they realized that the “suspect” was suffering medical distress...as if the video doesn’t show the officer being the reason he was suffering medical distress.
Fired!!! Absolutely! Stop hiring 💩 humans! Train better! Manage better
Why was he taken in2 custody -for rolling his own cigarette, or what?
Why? Oh it was caught on camera. Never mind... will get them back soon after a well deserved paid holiday.
Great. Let me know when they’re also arrested!
Now the DA had better bring charges on all 4
America needs to stop lynching black men. This man had a knee on his neck.
He didn’t “die.” He was murdered, on video, and all of us — even we lifelong supporters of police — saw it. That officer deserves the death penalty, which Minnesota doesn’t have. The FBI investigating so the ball is in the US Attorney’s court.
When will they be prosecuted.
Murderers!!! Lock them up!
Glad they’ll be out of work for 2 weeks until they’re hired by a neighboring force! Put. Them. In. Jail. How many times do they need to get away with excessive force until we need to put a deterrent in place.
no masks or social distancing. call 211
Not good enough. Arrest them for murder.
They are a total disgrace.
ये काला गोरा का क्या नाटक चलता है अमेरिका में
What is wrong up there guys...
