Relatives of an unarmed man who died as he was being detained by police last year say they recently viewed body-camera footage of the incident that showed Alabama officers kneeling on the man’s neck while he repeated “I can’t breathe.”

Many officers took George Floyd's death as an instruction manual on what to DO, instead of what NOT to do. Hope the officers involved suffer the same fate as the murderer in uniform in Minneapolis.

Oh my God!... This Cruelty in America HAS to 🛑 NOW!!!... I DETEST these UGLY, Disgusting So-Called Law Enforcement Creatures!... They are NOT Educated!.. Too many are Sick, UGLY HATERS of Mankind!... The rules need to change for people in this once respected profession!

my mom always said “dont try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.” now this saying wasnt originally about cops but i think it applies pretty well. perhaps we should stop expecting pigs to sing and replace them with something that can actually sing.

Release the video. The Black man punched in the jaw in Jacksonville, Florida Ben Crump the lawyer is on the case and the video was shown on CTV News the Dutch-Canadian tv caster you could tell he was disgusted by the video.

Why? So the media can ignore it? Just like how they ignore that cops kill more whites each yr? Not the kind of stat that gets play. The Right will always back the cops. At least they'll pretend to, while ignoring what they did on J6. The Left only gives a shit if the victim had more melanin.

So, if he didn't have heart issues, having a 180-lb guy kneeling on his neck wouldn't have been a problem?? Huh. Tell you what! Let's test that hypothesis. Let's have a 180-lb guy kneel on the cop's throat and we'll see what happens!

Any police officer kneeling on anyone’s neck should be fucking fired and brought up on charges of deadly force. If they kill someone: First Degree MURDER. No One Should Be Trained To Use This as a Tactic for Restrainy.

‼️LEGACY MEDIA FAILED USA, NORMALIZED TRUMP & FAILED to frame Dump’s fascist threat to US Democracy + FAILED to boost BIDEN’S historic ACHIEVEMENTS that saved USA ECONOMY FROM POST-PANDEMIC RUIN: now look at the mess we are in #SupportLeftWingVoices #BoycottLegacyMedia #VoteBlueAndGetOthers2JoinU

It never stops. How many more must die before law enforcement behaves as responsible law officers. If we cannot trust men/women in blue to protect us even as they enforce the law, it undermines our faith in government. A few bad apples ruin the reputation of those who serve and protect with honor.

The man may have had medical issues BUT his death was caused by an Alabama police officer’s knee on the man’s neck. If you’re black or brown don’t stick around in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia, oh Texas (not exactly the south but aesthetically the south)

No more denial: this is what they WANT & are giddy that they have the full support of this horror administration. Are we thinking forward to the fact that many local police are on board, and the demented thing in the Oval Office has a Fox-guzzling, testosterone-fueled US military behind him?

That is 3 in Alabama that have died at the hands of the police, but unfortunately those deaths are not getting the national coverage they need to get, because I am frightened it will only get worse

If the #WashingtonPost maintained a steady stream of exposing #Police #GestapoTactics, they could achieve what decades of #HumanRights #protest hasn’t managed just amplifying the #Degradation & #plight of #oppressed #domestic #populations isn’t enough

NEW: Despite being caught in a 2021 video ripping out Shantel Arnold’s hair, sheriff’s Deputy Julio Alvarado failed to report the incident. A new law authored by Arnold’s attorney will mandate excessive-force reporting for all law enforcement agencies. @richardawebster.bsky.social @veritenews.org

The family just saw the video and are suing to have it released. He was also white. Everyone should be outraged but the outrage you saw when George Floyd died was because the abuse that black people suffer from the police has been going on forever and the population had had enough.

That, and there was video evidence of it the same day. There was no time for any news outlets to spin it. The backlash was fierce and immediate. Combine that with an especially hot summer during an election year in the middle of a pandemic that the executive was fumbling? Perfect storm

He was CHAUVINED. There's a precident for this. Charge the police officer with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter and violating a federal criminal civil rights statute.

Since the federal government is what it is, only the local media and media at large can help this person - along with people in the community making a whole lot of ruckus and putting pressure on state AG.

George Floyd died in 2020 after a Minneapolis officer knelt on his neck for over 9 minutes while he repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe.” The Alabama case echoes that tragedy nearly word for word proving nothing’s changed. #ThatsTrue #ICantBreathe #AlabamaJusticeIsnt

I wish more people would realize that George Floyd & Derek Chauvin knew each other previously as security coworkers at the same bar. His murder wasn't about race but was about George being able to expose the truth about Derek.
