Oprah Winfrey Says George Floyd Won't 'Just Be a Hashtag'

"His family and friends say he was a gentle giant," she wrote."His death has now shown us he has a giant soul."

In a statement posted to social media, which included an illustration of Floyd, Winfrey said she has not said anything until this moment about the events that transpired Monday in Minnesota because she was having a hard time processing what she saw: a black man, held down by police officers as one white officer knelt on his neck. Floyd would die from his injuries. The officer who kneeled on Floyd was arrested and charged with murder shortly before Winfrey tweeted her statement.

New video which shows Floyd being held down by other officers furthered her devastation, Winfrey said. Those officers will all likely face charges, authorities said Friday.

hmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

Which was the gentle part? The part of him that was committing felony fraud or the part that was committing armed robbery?

Why doesn't the police officer have a giant soul? But what is a champion soul ? What is a leading didactic soul ?

Oprah needs to tell everybody to GO HOME.

Was it a personal vendetta?

Why isn't sedition, arson, and destruction as an enemy of the United States a forfeiture of rights for deportation?
