's final minutes and started a worldwide movement -- is getting an award from a prestigious nonprofit.
PEN America announced Tuesday they were honoring 17-year-old Darnella with its annual PEN/Benenson Courage Award. The org's CEO,, says,"With nothing more than a cell phone and sheer guts, Darnella changed the course of history in this country, sparking a bold movement demanding an end to systemic anti-Black racism and violence at the hands of police.
She’s a coward and should be arrested for filming it and not calling the cops or helping
For what?
Courage award huh?. Ima leave it. I’m off this
They'ed better not.
She was so brave to stand there and watch someone die
Why?
Yeah maybe they should have called a ambulance and thinks that their video & surrounding the cops delayed help for him and now the protests from that video caused dozens of deaths & billions in property damage but hey let’s give them a trophy.
🙄
bruh
Purrr💅🏾
Please stop my death instead of recording it
Why ? 🤔
Peruzzi If this was a Nigerian teen? Desmond Elliot would've cough. ion know who we can really trust as a politician again!😭 EndBadGovernmentinNIGERIA
Awesome
She should have been better helping not only documenting the killing. Courage is takes effort! Like kicking of the police officers from George Floyd’s back.....
🙏🙏
frfr.
Why?
Why?
Dumb
I hope she doesn't accept the award. You can't accept an award off the death of someone , it just seems nasty.
I don’t see what’s so courageous about video taping a guy being choked to death if she would’ve dropped kicked the cop and tried to save him then I would totally agree that she deserves this award
The new participation award goes to....
That dog that was chasing down a terrorist is a better option for this award🤣
So we getting awards just for pulling out our phones recording 12ops kill our Black brothers and sisters
An award for being responsible for billions of dollars of damage and countless loss of jobs and businesses, where are peoples values these days?
What?wow lmfao
aking4democracy Brave. Courageous.
She deserves nothing. We saw the bodycam footage.
Courage? Cmon......
Participation trophy. That’s why this generation is so fucking soft.
An award for standing there making a video? Lmfao
She deserve it.
Why?!
She filmed a man being murdered. Hows that courage?
And some counseling too, I hope.
I'm sorry 🙄, buy yeah, let's applaud a teenager with a phone who recorded something. All teens record!
She could of saved his life but just filmed thats not courage
I mean... it's good that she caught it on camera. But ain't nth courageous about taking out your phone and recording something. But good for her I guess

So she gets a pat on the back for not helping a man that was being killed in front of her? Hm
Um wtf not how that works
I just wished she recorded the beginning of it all
Really she taped a drug addict acting stupid that had a heart attack that's all
Idiocracy.
Courage for what? For pressing record on her phone?
For filming a career criminal ?
Ummmm what? So it’s courageous to video someone being killed? It’s courageous to intervene and save someone’s life! Ever think about that? This is the adult equivalent of a participation trophy sodumb
Don't they know there's another flavor name of the election now?
Courage award? Didn’t know recording a person getting murdered instead of helping could get you a courage award? Coward award maybe? That would make more sense.
George Floyd was a loser
So now it is courage to stand there recording shit instead of actually doing something...like stopping someone from being killed.
Wow, amazingly stupid
Don't you Americans think the boy who confronted the school mass shooter and saving multiple lives along the way should get this award? ..... y'all delusional or what ?
Do you guys post anything that's important, or just bs to keep lieing or dividing ppl.
💩
Real courage. Your kidding I hope.
That is not courage. Better look up the definition again.
She should get the same reward George floyd did
This is stupid courage would be going up and helping him not being a coward and recording it lol
Let’s face it, she only recorded so she could become famous and wanted the attention for herself. What an ignorant person to try and get fame off the death of someone.
Why stop there? Probably deserves Nobel Peace Prize too because the violence could have been worse if not for that recording right? 🙄
Courage award? For standing there watching a man die...🤔 I don’t see it...
given awards for standing by and watching someone die..all those people watching should be so proud..stand by and do nothing there, then go protest by grabbing a tv and ps4 from target later
She deserves it Amen
Oh come onnnnn....she`s a fucking hero all of a sudden. To funny LMFAO now part of the same clan as BruceJenner CaitlynJenner weird damn world we live in now.....
Maybe some Award would be appropriate (good Samaritan or something) but 'courage' seems a little off the mark.
But if the two white girls that were also recording would of got that award blm would of had a riot
Presented by tmz lol
What a joke
I’m outraged, I blame Trump for this!!!
IM FUCKING DYING LMAO 🤣 💀 😂 courage award for recording 💀 😂 🤣
Video recording an overdose gets a courage award? Our friends in the hood seem to forget why there are so few successful prosecutions of their buddies. It’s called reasonable doubt!!!
she only recorded before his death. He died in the hospital of an overdose
An award!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
I have seen a lot of videos of people who over dose. First person ive seen who recorded it get an award
It needed to be openly heard 🖤
Could have helped by tackling the cops of his neck. Instead of filming a snuff film. Jus sayin. Anyone who records a crime is a complicate piece of garbage.
LMFAO
It changed and saved so many lives.. we will never be the same people after that day we should not be... say his name... Black lives matter.... congrats to her .. she stood strong in her truth.. 🙏🇺🇸🙏💙🙏🎭🙏🌎🙏☮️🙏
Hmmmmm how about step in Courage for not putting the phone down and helping this poor man?! Fuck off
Why🤔
