WATCH: Black Trump Supporters Respond To Video Of George Floyd’s Death
A Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer was recorded on video kneeling on a black man’s neck for over five minutes even though the man, George Floyd, was crying out that he couldn’t breathe.
Floyd quickly fell unconscious and died shortly after.
A second police officer who stood near the incident did nothing to intervene to help George Floyd’s breathing even as a crowd of outraged and concerned civilians yelled at the officers to let Floyd breath.

Newly surfaced surveillance footage reveals that the police officers were lying when they initially claimed that Floyd was resisting arrest prior to his death.

Harris stated that this horrific incident will further erode black American’s trust in police officers across the nation.
Harris warned viewers of the incoming avalanche from mainstream media reporters that will exploit Floyd’s murder to divide Americans.

Trump tweeted, “At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation as to the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd. I have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all of the work done by local law enforcement. My heart goes out to George’s family and friends. Justice will be served!”
Conservative activist Joel Patrick voiced his support for more protests if the district attorney does not charge the officers for murder.
