New George Floyd Evidence Shows He Pleaded 'I Can't Breathe' Over 20 Times | MSNBC
If somebody said “I cannot breathe” once – I would do everything in my power to ensure that they could breathe. I thought the police have a duty of care. Obviously this is not the case with these police officers
U.S police motto till proven otherwise: turn off body cam and proceed to escalate or create a problem.
IF THE PERSON CAN TALK – HE CAN BREATH, AM I WRONG?????
@watermelon detector Yes – They are gasping for breathe. Seriously the guy died so that is more than enough evidence
“If somebody said ‘I cannot breathe’ once – I would do everything in my power to ensure that they could breathe”
So you’re _that_ gullible, huh? Good thing you’re not a cop! I can hear you now:
“Freeze! Police! Put your hands in the air!”
Suspect: “I didn’t do anything.”
You: “Oh! OK, you’re free to go.”
@bricology I did not say that the guy should go free. But if you have a knee on his neck and he says he cannot breathe perhaps letting him breathe and stand up would be the right course of action. He did have handcuffs and four cops around him. He was not going far.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE OUR WORLD WOULD BE IF JUST ONE OF THOSE VILE MURDERING, WATCHING COPS HAD SAID, “HEY, YOU’RE KILLING HIM…LAY OFF”???!!!
Nah they have an agenda par for the course.
JUST IMAGINE WHAT WONDERFUL THIS WORLD WOULD BE IF WE ALL LIVED LIFE LIKE GEORGE GUN-AT- PREGNANT-WOMAN FLOYD
No kidding! I feel like the mental anguish can be focused into change but I wonder what the actual financial cost is?
This really makes me sick to my stomach….I want the cop to read this out loud in court before he is sentenced
JUST IMAGINE WHAT WONDERFUL THIS WORLD WOULD BE IF WE ALL LIVED LIFE LIKE GEORGE GUN-AT- PREGNANT-WOMAN FLOYD
Agreed. That “police” should have to read EVERY WORD GEORGE FLOYD SAID FOR THE FULL 8 MINUTES AND 46 SECONDS.
watermelon detector even if that were true, wich it isn’t, that justifies him being killed by police in this appalling manner? You serious?
@Marlene Sollgruber i have 2 higher educations and work as doctor in Europe and i can tell U that gentle giant was HIGH and with drugs in his system. He resisted arrest
watermelon detector maybe we saw different videos! When he was killed he was handcuffed and on the ground! And by the the way ,I’m not sure what you being a doctor has anything to do with this! But actually I’m a doctor in Europe too, have been for 30 years! 😂😂😂
How awful. It really is disturbing 😢
RIP George Floyd 🙏🏽
JUST IMAGINE WHAT WONDERFUL THIS WORLD WOULD BE IF WE ALL LIVED LIFE LIKE GEORGE GUN-AT- PREGNANT-WOMAN FLOYD
That officer with his knee on Floyd’s neck knew what he was doing. He looked right at the camera as he strangled a man to death with his fellow officer’s watching him do it.
I don’t want to hear that Floyd wasn’t a model citizen – the police here in the U.S. aren’t
supposed to be executioners.
Exactly. NO POLICE OFFICER has the Right to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
💯
@Heather Hent444 he was HIGH, he had meth and FENTANYL in his system. I have two higher education and work as a doctor. Yiu aint smart enough to tell me about the Reason of oxymortia of career criminal
@watermelon detectorSure you are…..
@Heather Hent444 whats your education??? A waitress??
This revelation just made a bad situation even worse.
IF THE PERSON CAN TALK – HE CAN BREATH, AM I WRONG?????
@watermelon detector Yes officer Chauvin, you’re wrong. Ask your doctor.
He needed to hear the bones crack in his next to believe him. Anything shy of that in his ears/eyes meant what he was doing was ok.
No Empathy whatsoever from those law enforcement officers, to have the ability to understand and share the feeling for another.
IM AN OLD WHITE MAN……AND THIS BREAKS MY HEART!
Me too man
“I’m dead.” This is harrowing. Harrowing.
Maybe those ex-officers should stop breathing and see how it feels to be brought to the brink of death But don’t let them die. And see how fragile life really is!!!
Cops may lie, but video doesn’t.
Chauvin enjoyed killing Floyd. He was not concerned in the slightest. All he had to do was take his knee off Floyd’s neck. He didn’t.
JUST IMAGINE WHAT WONDERFUL THIS WORLD WOULD BE IF WE ALL LIVED LIFE LIKE GEORGE GUN-AT- PREGNANT-WOMAN FLOYD
@watermelon detector HE WASN’T “HOLDING A GUN” WHEN HE WAS MURDERED BY COP, RACIST TROLL.
What Camden, NJ did with their Police Department “reboot” should be the new model nationwide.
Psychopathic “police”,..
JUST IMAGINE WHAT WONDERFUL THIS WORLD WOULD BE IF WE ALL LIVED LIFE LIKE GEORGE GUN-AT- PREGNANT-WOMAN FLOYD
@watermelon detector HOLDING A GUN TO SOMEONE ISN’T A DEATH SENTENCE, RACIST TROLL.
watermelon detector // All caps equals empty barrel,..
This made my soul cry omg the wrath of God
Do you cry about pregnant woman was gunned by Floyd?
🥺 it irritates me when people mock George Floyd with the I can’t breathe plee.
Turns out the cops are Bigger Monster then we learned, and they are still trying to spin it!
MSNBC covers how many times George Floyd said, “I can’t breathe.”
MSNBC doesn’t cover the hundreds of black on black murders since June.
@The Wraith Funny since we know you people only bring up those death to downplay the current situation and we know you really dont care tho 🤔🤔
George Floyd was more of a man than those LITTLE white cops!
