Kinda 'slow' in coming, but then again a LOT of things in the United States have been SLOWED DOWN because of the Virus... But, there are people with NO PATIENCE anymore.. their response is to begin LOOTING and BURNING and throwing Rocks at Cops!

buzzfeed maybe y’all should sit this one out

“Knelt” interesting choice there. Kaepernick7 knelt. Literally because of shit like this. You can’t be this obtuse.

“Knelt”, yeah ok!!! Kinda like “placing someone’s hand around a neck” instead of choking!

Ticket straight to prison!

ZoeTillman what a crap journalism is this from your colleague.

The media sucks...

مطي Murdered him

Knelt? Was he praying, too, ? Way to be a BIG part of the problem.

Death penalty

He knelt. He probably thought it was a cute little joke for his other white supremacy bros. They probsbly had a fun little laugh about kneeling. Premeditated with nalice of forethought.

Murdered.

The fuck?! Who wrote this headline?

You spelled MURDERED wrong...

Murder!!!

'knelt'?

buzzfeed get it together, don’t be dumb. Use the correct wording please. The piece of shit officer MURDERED GeorgeFloyd

BuzzFeed, I am not a fan. And really not a fan after this headline. Aren't they supposed to be, you know, representative of the issue? Knelt vs suffocated. On tape.

Killed, murdered...not knelt. GeorgeFloydWasMurdered

“Knelt”

Murdered.....not just knelt...murdered

Knelt? What a joke

colin kapernick knelt. derek chauvin committed murder.

Knelt=cut off blood supply. Get your headline straight.

You mean MURDERED, don’t you? Don’t soft step this shit! That pig murdered GeorgeFloyd: period.

You spelled “Murdered” wrong

Lol “knelt”

Murdered.

“Knelt”

The Minneapolis Police Officer Filmed Murdering George Floyd While Casually Posing With His Hand In His Pocket Has Been Arrested - there, fixed it for you.

'Knelt on'? Da fuck is that?

you misspelled 'killed'

You misspelled murdered

Knelt Do better

Irresponsible headline! Should have read Office who intentionally killed George Floyd has been arrested and charged with 3rd degree murder and Manslaughter...

He wasn’t praying. He was murdering Mr. Floyd. Call it what it is, ffs...

Murdered. He. Murdered. George. Floyd.

NO. The Minneapolis Police Officer who KILLED George Floyd has been put into protective custody. NOT arrested. FakeNewsAlert

You spelt executed wrong

You spelled 'murdered' wrong.

'Knelt on'. You fucking people.

Murdered

So now murder is called kneeling?

Knelt One of these knelt, the other killed!

KNELT

Murdered. The word you meant was murdered.

who murdered*

Murdered. The word is murdered

**who killed George Floyd

Fire your headline writer. Oh and F U with this garbage. We know what we saw

You’ve had NINE HOURS to revise this or take it down. You’re choosing not to & it’s disgusting. Protestors have “knelt” peacefully; without harming others. This officer *MURDERED. do better.

'Knelt'? Wow. Maybe BuzzFeed's HQ is going to get CNN'ed now.

murdered*

Change the headline jeez

Whereas in HK, no police officer was arrested for misconducts over the past year

Oh buzzfeed and their white supremecist agenda 😒

I believe you mean ‘the murderer that happened to be an officer of the law has been arrested’

The Minneapolis Police Officer Who Murdered George Floyd Has Been Arrested. Fixed it for you. You are part of the problem

“Murdered.” I’m glad I don’t follow you weak bitches.

he murdered him. he didn’t “kneel” on him. he was GEORGE FLOYD’S MURDERER.

You mean “murdered”? Good grief

He didn’t kneel on him he Murdered him

In murder cases they charge people who were part of the crime with a criminal offense known as being an accessory. It would seem that every officer at this scene should be charged.

So sad that this news tweet has to be a like.

It would’ve been a lot quicker if you used the right fucking word: murder

Why the hell is this not 2nd degree?! Aside from a child who the fuck doesn’t know that cutting off someone’s air supply will kill them?!!WTF!!

This headline sucks

Really Buzzfeed let me help you out, no charge, “The Minneapolis disgrace of a human who MURDERED George Floyd has been arrested” There, I fixed it for you.

Why is it so hard to get this headline correct? “Disgraced former police officer who used excessive force against George Floyd has been arrested for third degree murder.” I fixed it.

Murdered

....do better

Kaepernick knelt.

Knelt? Really cancelbuzzfeed

MURDERED.

Knelt is the wrong word

Murdered. Slowly and torturously murdered George Floyd. No one is protesting because he knelt on George Floyd's neck. This is a horrible headline. Do better. BlackLivesMatter

WTF !!!! Headline!

You need to correct your caption from “knelt” to murdered, bye.

it was a murder, buzzfeed. the officer is a murderer

Fix your headline! He wasn’t praying. Damn!

What’s his name, and why didn’t y’all put it in the header instead of what’s in there 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

Weak headline. Just WEAK

He murdered Floyd -- get your headline right. 'One of the officers who murdered George Floyd'

Murdered.

This is kneeling:

KNELT? c'mon

Charge his ass with murder in the first degree and throw him in prison for life.

Come on FFS fix your fucking headline 🤦🏻‍♀️

You spelled murder wrong

SebasEstra16

Knelt on his neck? You mean shoved his knee into his carotid? Murdered? Killed even?

*who slaughtered

*who murdered George Floyd

1 down 3 more to go!

Who knelt? Who killed.

it’s who murdered you waste of a news outlet

MURDERED

Murdered

Yeah he knelt on his neck. And continued to do so until the man was MURDERED. Maybe you should put that as your headline instead of sugarcoating it. Makes you no worse than the murderer of an innocent man or the other cops that did nothing as it happened.

You spelt murdered wrong

Who MURDERED...

Correct your words.

Killed

Knelt? Come on! Do fucking better!

The kind officer wasn't stopping to pray for Floyd, dear. The cop MURDERED him.

*killed

MURDERED George Floyd.

Assassinou.

Knelt? He knelt? Fix your headline!!!!

KILLED, not knelt

We need justice in this ASAP

You misspelled 'murdered.'

murdered*

*murdered

You are using the word 'knelt' to soften the blow, which obscures the facts, which dismisses our cause, which renders our 'fight' useless. Lets reconsider this headline.

Fix the headline buzzers

What White Liberal at Buzzfeed wrote this?

Inject hiv virsus to him

I believe you mean murdered, but ok.

murdered.

Come on y’all can do better than this. First of all USE HIS NAME! DEREK CHAUVIN put it out there in the street like he put Mr. Floyd in the street. And you can follow it up be he KILLED Mr. Floyd.

Great, but it's probably for his protection... we will see...

you spelled murderer wrong

**murdered

Makes you look like a dummy. Say killed. Or better yet, murdered.

You really couldn’t write the words “Who killed George Floyd” or “who suffocated George Floyd”, huh? Knelt?

LizLizzerd Not knelt... M U R D E R E D.

We need to see his arrest!! We can not confirm that!

Gtfo with this

This headline is shameful. The word is killed. Or murdered.

Murdered*

KNELT?!?!!

*Murdered

Knelt?! Tf?!

The outlets avoiding the phrase 'officer who killed George Floyd' look like clowns.

Now hopefully it gets the same fair treatment that everyone else receives when arrested : Put into a holding cell with 20+ people for 72 hours till charges are formally made...

*Murdered

BuzzFeed, there is a list of commentators here that you might want to consider hiring to fix your problem with piss poorly written headlines

sithley Now what about the others who just let it happen

You muttafuckas are some bullshit.

MURDERED. Come on Buzzfeed, call it what it is.

KNELT? NO HE PUT ALL HIS WEIGHT ON HIS NECK. STOP TRYING TO BESAINT THE MURDERER BECAUSE HE IS WHITE!

He MURDERED George, stop trying to hide what he did.

Murdered*

C’mon Buzzfeed. Control of the narrative is crucial

We now need riots to arrest a murderer?

What dummy wrote this and what fool approved it? This is kneeling stupids.

Minneapolis police officer who MURDERED*****

*KILLED god damn! Why is it so hard for you to spell “killed.” He killed George Floyd. Wasn’t just simply “kneeling.” “Kneeling” was what Kap was doing when shitbag realDonaldTrump was calling him a son of a bitch.

Colin Kaepernick knelt on a football field. This dude straight up murdered.

It’s about f*cking time

CONSIDER THIS FOLKS!👇🏾 If officers are trained to make “snap decisions”, Why did it take 9+ minutes for this officer to realize that the amount of pressure he was putting on Mr. Floyd’s neck was going to kill him?

Best news of the day. Now, the other 3 accomplices must be charged.
