Gov. Andrew Cuomo Discusses George Floyd Protests

Gov. Andrew Cuomo used his daily coronavirus briefing to discuss the George Floyd protests.

This is the kind of speech, although short in length, that should be heard nationwide. It would help set the tone for more justice in our nation.

[@justcheckinxx]

I agreed completely. As a leader, you should not support division or blame a particular group. You should recognized the problem, acknowledge it and suggest change. That's what I saw with this governor even though I don't live in New York.

[@smmargret6300]

You got to be kidding. Do your research. He is the big problem in N.Y. Also, there was a direct order that came from him to house COVID people in facilities that house elderly people. Consequently, a lot of them contracted COVID and died. He later took down the direct order from the internet....Now he is blaming the facilities for housing the COVID people.

It also means denying the existence of a pandemic while sending all the working class folks back to work, and damn the number people who die! Yeah man, Trump!

[@Jay-cp9kd]

While we all agree Floyd’s death was wrong and the cop deserves to go to jail, THERE ISNT AN EPIDEMIC OF COPS KILLING INNOCENT BLACK MEN in this country. Even tho CNN wants to keep saying it, the facts just don’t support that claim. (Michael Brown wasn’t innocent... Trayvon was killed by a Latino guy etc...) However, like 30 black men get killed by another black person in Chicago every weekend, but that actual epidemic is ignored because the media can’t try to blame it on Trumps alleged racism! Nobody sees a problem with that?

"George Floyd must not have died in vain." Well said, Governor.

[@nathanjamesbaker]

@ Wow, you're so clever. Thank you for blessing us with your wit and charm.

[@user-wq5fj4pl3d]

@ The official post-mortem examination of Mr Floyd by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office also recorded evidence of heart disease and recent drug use. It said he suffered the cardiac arrest "while being restrained by a law enforcement officer" on 25 May. The findings were released shortly after those of a private examination that was carried out by medical examiners hired by the Floyd family. This report said Mr Floyd died from asphyxia (lack of oxygen) due to a compression on his neck and also on his back. It also found the death was a homicide, a statement from the family's legal team said. "The cause of death in my opinion is asphyxia, due to compression to the neck - which can interfere with oxygen going to the brain - and compression to the back, which interferes with breathing," Dr Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner, said at a news conference on Monday. Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for the Floyd family, said: "Beyond doubt he would be alive today if not for the pressure applied to his neck by officer Derek Chauvin and the strain on his body by two other officers." He added: "The ambulance was his hearse. ( BBC, 2nd of June, 2020). I guess it depends on your judgement. No matter what, I hope nobody including yourself and myself don't have to endure what he did, no matter our cholesterol levels. Good luck and have fun with that kind of regulated police and justice system.

[@transylvanianite3391]

excessive force should be defined by one standard that is equal to the same standard applied to citizens

[@transylvanianite3391]

@solomon kane Kelly Thomas choked in custody 2011 research it, there's a pattern of abuse

Excessive force cannot be defined. It's completely subjective. Furthermore, no two situations are identical, much less hundreds of thousands of police contacts per day. Sometimes no force is needed, other times a sniper needs to take out the subject with a headshot, and all levels of force found between. The idea that a cookie-cutter standard can be developed is absolutely retarded.

[@transylvanianite3391]

@ Its retarded and sadistic for anyone accepting the status quo without some improvement like in a shooting that took an innocent life the officer was responsible for, and then shifted responsibility to a suspect that was a hundred miles away is far fetched. In a separate tragedy, the Kelly Thomas 2011 incident is the most egregious way a human life was taken(who was innocent). Anyone seeing this incident would expect there was no limit of excessive force allowed or no standard to be required as they were exonerated. And it can be defined, legislation when is passed, period.

[@lukepurnomo4165]

This is about HUMANITY! not about black or white. No human can accept killing. Killing is a big and heavy thing, that is why it comes with a big consequences. the president is the one that has to be responsible for what happens, he is the one that governs and he is the one that has the power of control, not police.. when the president fails to provide security and safety to its citizen, the citizen screams because they are the victim. The citizen has been being harm so many times, please don't hurt them more. When your kids is crying and screaming, please don't hurt them more..

Yeah, the leader of The Cry Babies. Coumo-"We need help, we need ventilators, we need money"....he's in one of the richest states and he can't pull it together on his own? What a joke. This is your leader? A guy more worried about his TV appearances then figuring out how to help the vulnerable in his own state. A real leader goes to the business owners in the commmunity and figures it out. Or picks up the phone and takes care of business.Not blame and begs for help EVERYDAY on tv. He's the Gov. if he had any balls he would have handled his state himself and NOT killed all the people in nursing homes. Florida and Texas took care of their own sh$t without having to whine and cry to the federal government. You don't see them EVERYDAY on TV whining and blaming others for their state being a chaotic sh$thole. Now he's got someone else to blame the rioters.

Good speech. But people are tired of speeches and biased news reporting. The the anger goes back to Tulsa Ok, Rosewood Fl, Wilimington NC, Forsyth Ga...these cities were looted, destroyed, people murdered, officials illegally removed, cities forced by gunpoint out of their homes. The people that committed the crimes never charged even though the murderous thieves were seen driving cars, wearing clothing, and eating off the dishes of their victims. They took the money out of their bank accounts. They stole jewelry and business equipment. Today, business that take advantage of minority communities and hire race soldiers will be paid by their insurance companies for any incovenience. The citizens of Tulsa, Rosewood, Wilmington and others places have NEVER BEEN PAID.

I agree, esp given what we've seen of Biden and his progressive cognitive decline. If he had real ethics, he'd back out. He likely doesn't remember what ethics are. Chris Cuomo would work, but his brother would become even more insufferable than he is now. There'd have to be a timeout for Fredo until Chris was out of office. And no nepotism, where he suddenly becomes the most qualified applicant for W H Press Secretary. Because we could see that sh*t coming a mile down the road. To drain the swamp you REALLY have to drain the swamp. Only the most qualified folks get the jobs. No more quid pro quos with ambassadorships or other appointments. Trump has highlighted the impact of corporate corruption like none other. Hopefully he'll go to prison for it along with Barr, that fat ass MF!
