    A black man died in Minnesota after an arresting officer kneeled on his neck and wouldn't release even as the man begged for his life and continously repeated that he couldn't breathe. The cop only seems to press his knee harder into the man's neck. Bystanders on the sidewalk can also be heard asking the police officer to remove his knee.

    After awhile EMT's arrive. The officer fails to even remove his knee as the EMT takes the man's pulse from his neck. The officer only removes his knee after that then helps drag the man like a rag doll onto a tarp that has been placed on the ground next to them.

    The FBI is investigating. The mayor and governor have called this disturbing. This officer should go to jail. He should never where a badge again.

    I don't know for a fact, but i'm pretty sure when a person dies, their bodily excrement lets loose. Piss and shit.

    With him not moving and him peeing himself ( sure looks like the growing trail of liquid is coming from about where his waist would be)

    That should have been an indicator to check his pulse and get off him.

    Sad.

    • Four Minneapolis police officers involved in Monday's incident have been fired, police chief announced

    Sadly this isn't something that will change anytime soon. Until our government removes the racist system they have built into America, we will see this over and over again with no end.

    It doesn't matter which party, or president, we have in office. Bill Clinton, G.W. Bush, Barack Obama or Donald Trump. The racist system is still in place. They literally don't care.

    We witnessed a murder watching that video. As somebody who was a Military Policeman for 6 years, there was no need for that restraint once the officer had control of the situation. You don't even need training to recognize that. Not only should the officer who stood over the man, that officer facing the camera should be charged with accessory to a murder.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The people who got upset about Kaepernick protesting police brutality against black people really had their priorities in order.

    The people who got upset about kneeling support police brutality, so they must be thrilled with this outcome

    Are they enforcing them with murder? If so, then I suppose I'd be just as angry?

    are there police enforcing lockdowns by sticking their knees on throats and killing people? I would be opposed to that.
