1. All lives matter and machine going to MN and fueling the fire was crossing the line .

2. Pelosi just thanked floyd for dying? Or is she thanking chauvin for murder. Disgusting.

3. Great. Except Members of the Congress have nothing to do with the decision of a jury and court in the city of Minneapolis. So they can stay out.

4. Every life matters get off it

5. We all feel pain and we all bleed the same color.

6. His last words: I can't breathe. Why didn't he say I'm sorry for defrauding these folks and seeing that he was remorseful the grip on him might have been released? Anyone that has ever been a victim of crime would have breathed a sigh of relief. Chauvin was not tried by a jury of his peers. Everyone knows that when it comes to police, it is them and us. A black officer might have pounded Floyd until he was senseless. Who is to blame? Chauvin 10%. Floyd 90%. Police are not expected to be saints. They have a difficult job to do and cannot allow themselves to be influenced by how bystanders believe they should conduct themselves in this kind of situation. Given his condition, Floyd might have dropped dead from stress while merely standing up.

   In a wider context, by his action in which he had to be forcibly removed from his car, Floyd essentially declared his right to commit crime. Police are continually squeezed between two opposing forces and when our lawmakers do not stand behind them, they cannot help but be cynical, believing that their sacrifice is in vain.

   Sentence should be apportioned based on fault. If Chauvin is given twenty years it should be reduced to ten percent of that with time to be served two years.

7. Yes blm so does slm llm everybody matters..

8. They are never brung up on charges. And accountability? Really ? 1 hold to account that OMMAR said you don’t say America 🇺🇸Like you say alquaeda. Where is the charges ? Swept under the rugg ? Just like Maxine waters saying you call them out you make and cause a scene nothing done the evil 👿 witches are stil there nothing done. 3. All democrats voting on Lies/Hearsay to impeach a president because the f hate his guts why else would Nancy Pelosi rip up them important papers right in front of the world 🌎. All of them are evil 👿 and out for their self. They are destroying America 🇺🇸☝️Day at a time.

9. Chauvin deserves a long prison sentence. However, please put a cork in Maxine Waters and her rhetoric.

10. Chauvin should get manslsughter. Definitely jail time but George wasn’t a saint nor did he deserve to die. But to become a martyr these days, I need to be on a tons of drugs most my life, be a violent criminal, steal something from a store?

11. We need to call out the US #GOP Representive who said he voted for the #GeorgeFloydBill by mistake. Let's know him/her for what she/he stands for. The court and jury have spoken. Thank you prosecutors thank you jurors. The #USHouse of Representatives have signed the bill. #USSenate needs to stand for the people of America to ensure that the senseless and reckless acts that we continue to see in the Police brutality comes to an end. #MSNBC #BBC #NYTimes #Wallstreetjournal #AJC #Globe #LATimes #CBS #CNN #ITV #Aljezeera #Skynews #Univsion

12. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

13. Something, someone is trying to divide us , cause America is so diverse . divided we fell , United we stand. As a black immigrant myself if any attack will come from another world no matter of what kind of treatment I had received from the white race I will fight side by side to protect America . I just pray that we stop that division cause our ennemis are watching, that’s their strategy. Create divisions among all the nationalities in the US . Then they will come for us . Please my fellow mans in America be awake., black or not if anything I’ll fight against the ennemis . United we stand and conquered. God bless the United State and the peoples Amen.,

14. Pelosi literally thanked Floyd for dying.

15. Yes justice matter .

16. No Black
    No Brown
    No Yellow
    NoRed
    No White
    One race.
    All Human!

17. Criminal lovers make 🤢🤮

18. Derek Chauvin should receive a "minimum" sentence of 20 years.

19. Nancy needs to RETIRE !!!!!
    The bubble she has lived in has made her tone death.

20. A disaster of hopelessness.

21. The death of the communists in the war was for the sake of wealth, and it was in vain
    The death of a religious man in war is good for humanity and justice.

22. I love how whitey saying "the jury was spineless" and "the trial was a farce" as if we don't all universally have access to the 10 minute video of Chauvin publicly executing George Floyd that leaves nothing about the crime of murder to the imagination.

    What a bunch of deplorable a*sholes.

23. it will be overturned

24. Sentence 45 2life should been capital murder that was reckless how chauvin did

25. My heart breaks for George Floyd, RIP. He was murdered and a family, a city and a nation became traumatized. I am so sorry.

26. OMG, he didn't call out to his mom. He called out to his girlfriend

27. Thank you George Floyd? And she's looking up like he's a God or something? How about David Dorn, he gave his life in all of this

28. A Nancy Pelosi, say his name. Say David Dorn. Give him the respect for his life taken as well as you've done with George Floyd
