  1. No. Why Not? Doesn’t this indicate the injustice of the police force, police procedure, police arrest policy, and justice, court system? Floyd’s death is more than one black live. We need to recognize this is a systematic problem. We need to fix it from the root.

    1. I think his incident is the straw that broke the camel’s back, and we’re fighting back this time because justice failed us in the past.

  2. America is burning to the ground & Nero is hiding in his basement bunker. What a coward!!!!

    1. KamekoBruns trump is a racist , good only for the white and rich who condones police brutality and the rest of the government officials are scared of the police forces for some reason but yea he part of it

    2. ILL Skillz What’s wrong with President Biden? Why doesn’t do what candidate Trump does like play golf or start a feud with social media.

    3. H’e a bunkerbaby! He’s a trust fund baby, so are ALL his kids. The man’s gone private his entire life, a white billionaire but he’s not “elite” Give me a break. Hes a born again christian who admits he doesn’t know the difference between the old and new testament, can’t site a favoite passage . He shot at peaceful protesters with rubber bullets to get to a photo op in front a Chruch that despises him and has put out a statement ALREADY condeming him
      Watch for Trump to begin attempts to wildly expand his powers. Beware of National State of Emergency, Trump can greatly increase his powers without congressional approval. these are very scary times, can you imagine if Obama had acted like a dictator like Trump? If a black president mobilized the army to attack American citizens on American soil?

    4. He’s nursing his bone spurs until he can go golfing again, but rest assured, I’m sure he still has access to State (oops! Fox) News.

    1. When you know who learn from the history, saw this.

      Amazing America already ▽ here.

      The Korean people fought against Unfair military violence with blood,
      And they brought down a dishonest president Park,
      Someones say “rooftop Korean”,
      Never say that, if you dare not like the Korean, don’t mention Koreans.

      By the way,
      If you want to say that,
      *You should be fight against Unfair military violence with the protesters.*
      Make America better than now.

    1. @joe coder doesn’t hurt when you got it wrong, it’s the police pride and autocratic attitude not blacks being in America, but go on with your ignorance.

    2. joe coder looking for attention I see bless your cold and soulless heart sir may god help you find your path in life

  3. Good morning America! Just waking up from a crazzzy wknd & having my Morning Joe covfefe with a sweet dash of Mika. Working the cobwebs out. Phew what a crazy wk & wknd. in tRumps topsy turvy whirlwind world. tRump threatened “They loot we shoot” & he threatened to “sick vicious dogs & ominous weapons on protestors” protesting in front of the White House while the coward was cowering in a Bunker just like Hitler. tRump plays the part of Chief Arsonist fanning the flames of division & racism while shortly afterwards pretending to play Firefighter. The man is a dangerous fool & hopefully this will be the end game for him!

    1. Do you remember a few years ago when an intruder got onto WH lawn and the dogs were sent after. After the SS told us about the dogs. One likes to play ball and the other likes belly rubs or something. it was funny

    2. Baby drumphf No. Liar. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding‼️abundant‼️with faith ✝️ and love ❤️which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’, 1Tim1:14,15

  4. How about a federal background check for police officers when they apply for the job ,,including previous jobs and disciplinary action

    1. How about people quit being criminals so the police don’t have to worry about being killed each and everyday.

    2. Wendy’s Garden what about black People. Latinos all people should have to do this shouldn’t they.

    3. it takes two years to be a cop in Sweden, you have to go to take a psych exam, physical, know how to swim and have a drivers license. In america it’s a 22 week course and 2 yrs of college- any major doesn’t have to be criminal justice they’ll waive it for a military service equavalent. They need FAR more training and they need to start everything over. It’s a testosterine filled bastion of white priviledge that’s antiquated.
      If this is how FOUR cops behaved IN FRONT OF CAMERAS, when they knew a crowd was watching…. imagine what they did when they didn’t think anyone could see or record etc. When they KNEW their behaior was bad/wrong. VERY chilling.

    4. Christina McKenna All they need in America is 22 weeks of firearms and deadly weapons training. If you were an American cop you would absolutely agree with that after your first night on the job.

  5. Those police officers taking a knee show the approach leaders should take to tackle the protests. BTW, police taking a knee, total vindication of Kaepernick!

    1. And the entire Republican Party, ridiculed Kaepernick, for his stance on police violence against blacks. Totally disregarding his right to free speech.

    2. The police taking the knee show clearly that the problem we face is not so much with individual police forces (and I’m not trying to minimize this very real problem), but rather a systematic problem we have in this country because we’ve never come to terms with the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow and the tactics of today’s Republican Party to suppress voters. We don’t need reform in police departments, we need a change in the business model of our country.

  6. the country is under poor leadership right now there are corrupt criminals running the country right now taking america for all its got please protest like that to remove the cancer from the oval office.start there.

  7. Wow, at the first sign of trouble, The great one goes RUNNING (F the bonespurs) to hide in a bunker. Our Leader is a Coward!

    1. Yes, and don’t deprive me of my guns, but it’s all right to deprive a woman of her right to choose.

  8. Riots? Looting? .. it (started?) when POTUS claimed “I can shoot somebody at 5th Avenue, and …” NO consequences! That spirit was released and can now be seen everywhere.
    It is the Job Loss and the EXTREME painfully JOKE: $ 1200 for (minimum) 10 weeks with no extension, NO future. AND all the rest of the tremendous Relief Funds in the big pockets of …? FOLLOW the money, it call$$$$.

  9. We can’t breathe until United we stand with liberty and justice for ALL! ❤ 🇺🇸 and all the races in it

    1. thy are facing the death relax about that . watch them get dead one by one in street

  10. All four cops. Arrest them all. One held his knee on his neck the other two on his back while one stood guard. All four are murderers.

  11. “Every where the forest was thinning. Yet the trees kept voting for the axe. For the axe was clever and had convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.”
    __Turkish Proverb

    1. “There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees. For the Maples want more sunlight and the Oaks ignore their pleas.”
