  1. To the George Floyd’s family . I’m so sorry this happend to George . This should have never taken place . After having watched the video and his pled that he can’t breath it was done by the officer on purpose and he needs to be punished by the law . My families heart goes out to you .

  2. They should arrest all of the officers who committed this crime but this has nothing to do with looting n vandalism…my prayers out to the family🙏

  3. From Europe, wishing you to RIP George …… AND *******SHAME ON THOSE 4 PEOPLE***** 1) DEREK CHAUVIN 2). THOMAS LANE 3). TOU THAO and 4). ALEXANDER KUENG (Disgrace to the police force), and those who did NOTHING to stop this ±

  4. SO VERY SORRY FOR HIS SON AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS I AM SO HOPEFUL THAT YOU GET JUSTICE AND THE SYSTEM ARREST ALL COPS INVOLVED AND NO PROTECTION IN THE PRISON THEY SHOULD END UP FEELING THE PREJUDICE AGAINST THEM THAT SAME WAY THEY DID THEIR JOB!!! SHOUDNT HAVE BEEN ON THE FORCE!!!!

    1. When they are sent to prison they may not make it through the first week . Those brothers in there will make sure of that. They would be better off hanging themselves

  5. Just stop the protest…USA to Big for that, Communism want to crush USA, they use the Floyd issue to be they movement, beware, USA is the best home for the black, even better than Africa, we all know that, Jesus Bless George Floyd and Jesus Bless America

  6. I wish the family would make a statement to stop the riots and looting! Understood Floyd s death was totally wrong , but there are CITIZENS that have no part of Gerogre s death . It is more than senseless ATTACKS on businesses and ATTACKS on other citizens is just as Wrong!! It is more than i’mportant that the family speak AGAINST riots and looting that will only cost tax payers more money !! If you want to protest do it at City Hall and police Dept!!

    1. Listen to the statement. It does call for peaceful protests, along the lines of what George Foyd wanted.

    2. @Victor Thuronyi I heard the family s attorney speak the words of Thomas Jefferson, he failed to state that Jefferson never spoke about riots or looting!! No one made that clear as far as I know.. Radicals will bring in martial law enforcement. Curfu is enforced already! Other states we’re not even near the incident nor involved! Floyd s family has not been firm to stop the rioting and looting! Praying they will make more efforts to stop the violence!!

  7. The orator of the george floid family, the atorny is right, and he is right when he promounced, “lets take a brake for GeorgeFloid…” people take a break and heal, the nation needs to heal. Violence is not the way. As there is a God, there will be Justice.

  8. These demonstrators are amazing!!!! Please however begin include the black lives being killed abroad by US foreign policy!

  9. Man, I don’t like hearing Mr. Crumb coughing. Please protect yourself. We need you.

  10. Really need some backing music.. can I suggest two..
    Queen…
    Another one bites the dust
    Or
    The prodigy…
    Breathe

  11. RIP George Floyd, and we will forever remember him. He WAS tortured. I support peaceful protests. However, shame on the people who take advantage of his death and loot the stores. That will NOT send a message, just make your cause less supported. Violent protests would just make #blacklivesmatter worse. PEACEFUL PROTESTS ONLY.
