Chauvins knee was still on George Floyd’s neck even when the paramedics arrived and George had stopped moving- The paramedics had to make Chauvin get off of Georges neck. Don’t tell me that Chauvin didn’t kill that man.

[@jerkchickenblog]

INTENTIONALLY. Cold blooded murder, which is the reason he had his hand in his pocket to pretend he was being nonchalante. That's a PSYCHOPATH right there.

[@Shakor77]

He not only killed him but was making sure he was dead by refusing to step of his neck even after the paramedics said that he had no pulse. It was a straight out execution.

[@brightemerald3924]

His motive was to kill Mr. Floyd. He thought he would get away with it like previous police officers have. Maybe not this time. I think they recruit officers from KKK pods. They are sickly racist and view black lives of little value.

He had Covid he even says in the video I’m gonna die it’s the Covid 3. He was asked to be put on the ground 4.He said he couldn’t breathe long before he was on the ground 5. The cops were being extremely patient even though he was resisting arrest and acting like a crazy person 6. The police were waiting on an ambulance to assist him 7.A Knee on the neck cannot kill you alone nor did the officer have any intention of killing this man 8. The official report showed that there was no evidence of suffocation due to compression of the neck and esophagus 9. This man had heart disease 10. What officer Shoven did by restraining this very wild and unpredictable man that was resisting arrest was in his police training!

I couldn’t even finish the video of George Floyd dying actually being killed!! I just hope he’s looking down and knows that what he went through is going to change the way that things are handled in situations like his. His death is going to demand respect and equality and change the world in ways that he never knew he could. RIP George Floyd 💔.

It was there that I was blessed with the opportunity to experience being a minority (if only for a time). I love all and never thought I carried any prejudices, but it wasn’t until I was submersed in a black and brown community, that I actually realized I carried some fear because I didn’t understand what it meant to my fellow colleagues, to be black and brown. I opened myself, to overcome my buried fear....fear feeds prejudices. I love all, believe in absolute equanimity, and am so grateful to read your comments. As a friend, a fellow human, i would gladly hold you and hold you, to share your tears and to know you aren’t alone. Now, let’s get some justice for these beautiful families who have wrongfully lost their own!!! Hey, have a beautiful day.

My condolence to the late Floyd family's and to all the people of colours who lost their love ones in a race related act of crime.. Insya'Allah we will heal and one day we all will find equality with respect to one another regardless of colours, race or religion❤🙏
