This was really awful — and sad.
And it clearly shows police brutality.
Minneapolis police officer was filmed kneeling on a black man’s neck on Monday.
The victim said he couldn’t breathe but the police officer kept his knee on his neck.
The man then died from the arrest.
CNN reported:
Four Minneapolis police officers have been fired for their involvement in the death of a black man who was held down with a knee as he protested that he couldn’t breathe, officials said Tuesday.
The FBI is investigating the incident, which drew widespread condemnation of the officers after a video showing part of the encounter circulated on social media.
Mayor Jacob Frey said the technique used to pin George Floyd’s head to the ground was against department regulations.
After several minutes of pleading with an officer pressing a knee to the back of his neck, the man appeared motionless, his eyes shut, his head against the pavement.
Officers responding to an alleged forgery in progress Monday evening were initially told that a person later described as the suspect was sitting on a car and appeared to be under the influence, police said.
No excuse for this B/S
This cop was so stupid to do this, especially knowing that he was being videotaped and also taped with many cell phones. As a result of this idiocy, there will be many riots for several days with destruction of property and injuries against Whites. All 4 of these cops need to have all of their assets taken away to help pay for any and all damages. Incidents like this help prolong the idea that all Whites are racists against Blacks. The 4 cops need to be lashed to posts and whipped daily for their stupidity.
