  1. They just joined the police. They were ordered to be on duty – they simply kept the spectators out of the line. If they are sentenced 3 years, why do not prosecute those spectators?

  2. Tao should have gotten more just for his arrogance during that altercation

  3. What happened with Mohammed Noor and Brian Cummings?

  4. This isn't about justice, this is all political .

  5. Really? Let's forget about what he was doing to even be in that situation. It's his own fault

  6. So did you all ever rebuild the 100 plus buildings Black Lives Matter burnt down?

  7. its so simple… dont choke to death an unarmed suspect in handcuffs…how hard is that to comprehend???!

  8. Cops where I live are already afraid to do their job.

  9. Ridiculous. Why can't we find any Cops for 500 Alex.

  10. A bit off topic but remember friends. July is the 5th straight year of 'White History Month', started by the great Pastor, Jesse Lee Peterson (a black man), "July just feels white"—the great Jesse Lee

  11. George waved his rights multiple times. Fentanyl Floyd died because of his own actions and health issues.

  12. Biden told all the criminals in the world that it's ok to do counterfeit money, be on drugs, resist arrest and if you die from the police because of your actions, Biden will call your parents and tell them sorry. Also give your family millions $. Where do I sign up? Embarrassing

  13. Only 3 yrs. Wtf. We have black lives getting way more for just weed possession.

  14. There was this racist cop that spoke on this case, he even said the only cause of death was discrimination. As a police officer he explained that the man was already in cuffs, the knee on the neck was “inhumane”. That should say something

  15. Tose tree police officers are completely innocent. Chauvin is guilty so much for not estimating how long can choke Floyd and should get sentence like that Somali officer for stupid mistake. 3 years or so. These ridiculous penalties are only because Floyd was black and USA is scared of blacks. United States of America like I immigrant I can say a p.. at yours justice system. Cowards.

  16. GDMF Floyd and his kind are all POS.
