wrote on Facebook. “I can assure everyone, me or any of my deputies will never treat anyone like that as long as I’m Sheriff. This kind of brutality is terrible and it needs to stop. All Officers involved need to be arrested and charged immediately. Praying for the family.”Typically, police call for patience and calm in the wake of a use of force. They are reluctant to weigh in on episodes involving another agency, often citing ongoing investigations or due process..
“Any minute progress is seen as miraculous because so little has been done for so long,” she said. “It’s nothing close to progress or what outrage would be taking place if it was a white man as the victim of this assault.” Melina Abdullah, co-founder of Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles, said she wasn’t “particularly moved” by the relatively few police who voiced outrage.
Abdullah said the three other officers who witnessed Chauvin’s actions and did not intervene contributed to a long-standing system of police racism and oppression against people of color. “We’ve got to remember that it was not just Officer Chauvin who was sitting on George Floyd’s neck,” she said.
Police everywhere in the world the same and in many cases worse.
AP throwing gas on the fire as usual.
It's an empty promises as before and just a lot of bullshit.
No matter the color or ethnicity, people should be treated with the dignity that comes with humanity.
DBChirpy these statements have been made numerous times. Bad cops keep their jobs. No real justice is happening. Time for the Blue Line to clean house. 1 bad cop spoils the whole bunch. abc cbs nbc cnn foxnewsradio
George Floyd was murdered.
No more brutal police beatings of people in handcuffs and no more holding people down by their heads/necks who are not fighting back. That would be a great policy

Super empty words no one believes you ACRB
There are laws in US that are geared at protecting animals from cruelty. Where are the laws to protect a human from being cruelly treated by those who should serve and protect its citizenry? Are animals more important than humans?
American cops? Must be a cruel joke against black folks.
These are all big words🤐 What is required are actions in the form of arrests + charges + prosecution =
We sometimes have to take the good with the bad. If they say it, I will accept it as silence is no longer an option.
TananariveDue They simply don’t want the smoke where they stand. That’s it
Hey I’m pretty busy so I don’t have time to read the whole article does it say in there that they’re all gonna resign or no?
JUST WORDS Every police chief who is saying this has a half dozen people working for him that he knows is a Klansmen
They have had their chance for many years to clean up their act. Way to late to be sorry now. Time to stand up to the racist corrupt police and governments in the USA, UK and around the world.
Хорошие слова
Empty words indeed! If members are sincere, they’d be sure their unions didn’t protect brutal and murderous cops!
Truly bold of the police nationwide to take on the powerful pro-custody death movement. Seriously, what numbskull would speak out defending the officers killing someone?
Thin thug line is bleeding and revealing it’s true colors ThugsInBlue
Cops need to hold cops accountable! Law Enforcement needs to hold each other accountable!
NATO ie No Action Talk Only .
This is called human rights of United States of America 🇺🇸
Arrest the cops.
Condamner les actions de la police de Minneapolis suite à la mort de George Floyd, c'est bien, mais appliquer la loi et rendre justice c'est mieux.
Minneapolis is just the beginning. Its coming to your town too. The time of cops protecting bad cops is over.
Thugs and criminals have joined the police
The Police have the same problem that Catholic priests have. It's been ingrained in their systems to protect each other at all costs, so the good ones won't, or are afraid to out the bad ones. If they won't get rid of the bad ones, they'll be remembered by what the bad ones do.
Empty words for sure. Thugs needs to be arrested
cop words like this are always empty. dismantling them entirely is the only solution.
too late. good cops no longer exist. unless you stand up against your racist brothers, you aren't a good person.
I would like to see the missing video and the coroner's report.
Doesn’t matter. The mob wants to loot.
They are just empty words. The police are not non-biased honest brokers in this discussion, but represents a darkness in our society that can no longer be tolerated. It's time for them to stop brutalizing people
Sifill_LDF Talk is cheap. Actions do not correspond to talk, where police departments are concerned.
Police academies everywhere are complicit. Imagine how many incidents are not caught on camera?
Fake words. Blue protects blue.
And still no arrests....
This is yet another lie from AP. A few police chiefs have said something. Not 'police nationwide'. And most likely the ones blabbering are Democratic party hacks.
theyve been doing this since the slave patrol days. policing is beyond reform. ACAB
Everyone in this country thinks police stations are full of Serpicos when there are none. None. There are no good cops.
Tell me, show me, where and what police or sheriff precinct in America there are NOT men like Officer Chauvin & others who helped him or stood by! Please TELL ME WHERE THESE PEOPLE IN BLUE & BROWN WORK so I can live & BREATHE there! Racism is a plague worse then CV-19!
As long as Chauvin is free they are empty words. He must be arrested, charged and face the death penalty. whitesagainstwhiteracist
Don’t BELIEVE SHITT
Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will NEVER help me.
Yeah. They r full of it! Police around the country and world have done this SAME exact thing! They all need to burn and FEEL what they’ve done to “Black” Americans!GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydMurder
And that’s all they are, Empty Words. What happened in Minneapolis was Criminal, a man, a human being was killed. No more, Enough.
It’s not gonna be good enough until the murders stop 🤷♀️

R.I.P. George Floyd
They had to say sumthn.
Yeah sure. Pigs protect their own.
If the police actions in this case are justified in any way, then the police have too much power and authority and it must be removed. The police have also abused their use of guns and the guns should be removed. Police in other Countries don't shoot on site.
There need to be an over haul of the USA laws against black people. The police are doing what they are taught to do. Until race is no longer a factor we will always have these things happening. Unless there is another motive for killing healthy black people.
A MSM network reports that neck compression was authorized by Minneapolis PD. (No justification.....just saying)
Has any of the big media looked into Floyd and cop previous encounters? Seems like they have a past
Some civil rights advocates will not be happy unless the whole city is burned down. When you have everyone in unison condemning the actions of that murderous police officer and you still have riots, it begs the question of whether we are done as a civilization.
'custody death'. Quaint.
Who is at fault for the death of George Floyd, was the actions of Derek Chauvin that of a renegade cop or is there a systematic issue at play?
Thanks. Thoughts & prayers to y'all as well.
These above the law police force need to be taken off the street and retrained! They give the real men and woman that dedicate their lives to protect others a bad name!
they are all putting out statements in an attempt to prevent protests, looting and rioting in there own jurisdictions....
ONE DIRTY COP CAN TARNISH THOUSANDS. POLICE UNIONS QUIT PROTECTING THE DIRTY ONES. REWARD THE ONES WHO ARE COMPETENT AT WHAT THEY DO.
Then they're really not going to like what the asshole HennepinAtty has to say:
I'm glad to see other departments speaking out so forcefully. But when will charges be brought? It's been days.
Are they critical of the Minneapolis police union and their president?
They are upset is akin to a magician showing the audience the secret of the tricks.
That’s a start. Words are meaningless without action.
Mr. Floyd's murder and the need for the officer(s) to be held accountable is the ONLY thing this nation is united on.
custody *murder
