For families who have lost loved ones to police violence, the killing of George Floyd tears at old wounds and compels them to speak of those they've lost.

The Sheriff’s Department said Twyman was previously convicted of carrying a loaded gun and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was on probation at the time, and deputies had been trying to arrest him for several weeks. Twyman’s parents say they believe the shooting constituted excessive force and have filed a civil suit.Ryan Twyman left behind three sons, ages 3, 2 and 1. The oldest, his father Charles said, reminds them of Ryan.

Inspired by former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, he decided to kneel during the national anthem. “It felt good to take a knee,” he said.His junior year, Murphy transferred to a school in a conservative suburb of Sacramento and said he had friction with the coach in part because of his desire to kneel, and ended up not playing that season. The school district said that he was never on the team and that its current policies allow kneeling.

He credits the teenage girl who recorded video of the Floyd incident for bringing it to light, and ultimately for the charges the four involved officers now face.

ridiculous far left media lost their minds

💯

Grant should still be alive, I couldn’t find the story on Murphy. The others got shot for doing stupid shit. anitachabria should do a better job with their thug to martyr conversion attempts

PoliceBrutality in the USA is just mad! I tell you what, would not be tolerated here in Scandinavia at all! Again, of course we wish our Police was better armed, faster when attacking that Breivik alt right mass murder of left children in Norway? 98% of them were teens!

It’s hurting me...

I always thought serve and protect, included the criminals.

I lost millions of Indians what about the Latinos?

I support the family who lost a relative who where cops killed by criminals BlueLivesMatters

Sad that people are blaming cops because there relatives where killed committing a crime , if anyone is to blame its the family for not raising there kids with moral and ethics not to commit the crimes in the first place

گُه سر در مجلتون 😂

I guess the victims of gang violence don’t have any wounds

the times' long, emotion-drenched article on the families that have had family members who were police officers or law enforcement personnel killed in the line of duty is NEXT sunday.........right?

So it’s just one sided? Unfair reporting. The community bears responsibility for their actions as well. Tough love y’all needs to happen. Blame can’t be one sided.

Stop committing crimes and this stuff won’t happen folks.

Stir. The. Pot. Facts and actual numbers don't lie. fakenews

« from a criminal to a hero in a moment », this can only work in the US! This incomprehensible veneration will only stir up more hatred.

Too many of us are being killed by police!! Then the local DA’s present a case to protect the cops not our loved ones they murdered or our families. jondvictor504 justiceforjonathanvictor

it was necessary to keep their loved ones from crime in time

The 1st paragraph is WEIGHTED WITH SO MUCH PAIN & TRUTH. My nephew killed for being in a single vehicle accident in Baldwin County, AL.

Police violence my ass. They died because they were committing CRIMES

Surely black lives matter, but only for those who behave right and do things right. Protests should not be any excuses for anyone to achieve their own selfish purposes like abreactions or riots.

Police violence, eh? The police just running around rogue all over the country attacking and assaulting people and destroying property? The lying, liberal activist operatives in media continue to stoke divisiveness, delusion, and mayhem with headlines like this.
