5. America may not be worth saving. We will know November 3.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

17. You got that right.

I just can’t do it for four more years. All the hate, on top of a Pandemic which he will never get us over on top of blatant in your face racism - the depression and anxiety keep threatening to overwhelm.

[Funtatlaguy]

22. Hang in. Register people to vote if you can.

9. Another reich-wing post-natal abortion.

Is this what the "Christian" dickheads voted for?

[Skid Rogue]

10. Yes, yes, the video is horrifying...

but I can't listen to the audio. I listened to it once, that's all I could handle. (Hell, I can't even handle that.) This is so painful and I'm so sick of this happening time and time again. This nightmare needs to end!

Kneeling on a suspect's throat for 15 or 30 seconds to calm down a struggling suspect can be understandable. 7 or 9 minutes is way beyond reason.

Then it has become deliberate.

12. .

This tears my heart out.

[sheshe2]

13. Me too, lunatica.

[mcar]

14. Saw Eddie Glaude Jr on PBS NewHour just a bit ago

and he brought this up. He broke up, the interview, Amna Navas, broke up.

[yaesu]

15. George Floyd called out "mama, mama I'm through", this breaks my heart. nt

[sheshe2]

16. Mine too, yaesu.

[spanone]

18. I saw the video when it was first broadcast. It was an execution. Nothing less. IMHO.

God help America.

[sheshe2]

20. In broad daylight and on camera...he was 'lynched'.

God help us.

19. 🕯️😢

[sheshe2]

24. I know, iris.

21. If the cop is not convicted by a jury

last night's riot is going to look like a five-year-old's birthday party.

[Blue_true]

32. I agree.

But the police union lawyers will seat an all White or close to all White jury that will somehow find a reason to free him. I thought that the cop in South Carolina that shot a fleeing man in the back after taking a target practice stand would be convicted of murdering the man that he shot, but a jury set him free.

So, I have little faith in juries delivering proper justice when cops kill Black people. So far, all we see is them losing their jobs with the department that they were with when they killed people. The lone exceptions have been the female cop in Dallas, the two Black cops in New Orleans that killed a mentally disabled kid riding in the back of his parents car -the kid was White, and the Somali-immigrant cop in Minnesota that shot and killed a White woman on her poach.

23. Truly disturbing. Chauvin is a sadistic psychopath & should be locked up for life.

Colin Firth starred in the 2013 movie, The Railway Man, and there's a scene in it where his character cries out for his mother. I could barely watch/listen to it. That is beyond disturbing that a grown man is tortured to that point. Anyone involved in perpetrating an act like that should be removed from society permanently.

26. Thank you for your link, I made a note of it.

I agree 100% with all your points, ARP.

Welcome to DU in these hard times.

[ARPad95]

30. You're welcome and thank you for the welcome to DU, sheshe2!

I just realized the movie is based on a true story.

[sheshe2]

31. I saw that it was based on a true story.

There was a link where you can watch it for free.

[brer cat]

25. I didn't know that, sheshe.

How heartbreaking! I hope there is a place where he has been reunited with his mother in love and peace.

[sheshe2]

27. I hope they are reunited in peace, brer.

From all I have read about him, he was a good man and a mentor to young black men.

I grieve for him and all that loved him.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Oh god, that is so heartbreaking.

I go between outrage and deep despair over this. It makes me feel literally sick to my stomach. I only hope that this can be a turning point for this nation with regard to police violence and the brutality directed toward African Americans and other minorities in this country. This has got to stop.

And until Trump is gone, it won't. Yes, these people will still be racists, but he emboldens them, he encourages them, he legitimizes them and he lets them believe that there will be no ramifications if they act out on their most vile impulses. It is time that we had a government that lets LEOs know that there will be a policy of no tolerance and severe punishment for this racist brutality going forward.

[BigmanPigman]

29. Oh fuck!

Fuck his murderer and accomplices and Dear Leader! I am once again crying ...caught between sadness and anger. Fuck this shit!
