Minneapolis Mayor Frey To County Attorney: Charge Arresting Officer In George Floyd's Death
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- As of yet, no arrests have been made, which Frey said inspired him to speak out Wednesday afternoon (19:21). WCCO 4 News - May 27, 2020
This mayor, in this moment, I've waited a long time for this. This man has empathy. This is a man of character.
Well stated!
I said the same. He waited all his life to make a speech like this, but it was well received.
You and I, both, my friend.
God Bless You and may George Floyd RiParadise
💯
Yes he is and we need more like him
If he does get charged, then the other 3 officers need to be charged as accessory to murder.
Exactly!
Yes. How could the other 3 cops just stand there? How do they not know any better?
Not if but when! I think chaos would arise if those 4 are free to go.
Up YourMom if you could explain? If I choked someone to death and my 3 friends watched...we’d all go to prison for murder. So what the hell are you talking about? Lol
@@aquacelot I think two of them got fired they had history of abuse of power one killed someone
I’ve never witnessed a Mayor stand up like this.
It really emphasised the phrase “a breath of fresh air” right 🙂
I hope that others states now will get called out for not standing up for the citizens and follow suit
Or any other politician!!
The guy seems more interested in arresting officers doing their job than finding out beforehand what lead to the arrest, before any of the video took place. 2:00, he doesnt answer the reporters question when asked about what the charges should be. He just says "based on the video" they should be charged.
@@timthielbar795 he was murdered
He wasn't resisting arrest, he was resisting death.
Never get that confused.
@Angry Pent You get that from your stanky, conservative think tank?
Well said!
@Angry Pent I don't care if he had the origin of corona in his pocket. Cops are not the judge and jury. Let the courts decide if that was even true or not. So a knee on the neck is in what police training manual
@Angry Pent so what is your source for this information and what relevance does it have
That police need to be put to death
About time that a public servant has had the COURAGE to stand up for what’s RIGHT! BRAVO MAYOR!!!
for real because shit come back on you when your bias
I’m sure it was all the phone calls and riots that made him make this decision
@Star Trek Theory we are not playing the "Probably Game" you. Hell you can be the same shit that you're trying to put on the mayor💯💯💯foh
Aye Nice Doubt it cause if that were the case we would’ve seen justice brought to these cops long time ago✊🏿
Dadirty hi.
Are you thinking? So its a black vs white issue claims the pimple faced mayor? Or is it really a gang thug cops issue. What about at least the 3 cops that watched? Why did they walk the man away from the supposed crime scene? Did they run out of cop cars? This police department is completely corrupted in my opinion. As are the city government and judges.
These things dont happen because of 1 dirty cop.
Never heard of this mayor until today. But wow, he’s handling this extremely well.
Lmao he either handles it well or sht will hit the fan over this. People are locked and loaded and even I felt ready to act seeing a man murdered like that...
That's what I was thinking, then I thought I better see what the comments had to say but regardless, he's right. This is messed up.
@@CoercedJab while I agree that he's feeling the pressure of a city on edge AND the eyes of the world, I honestly feel that this response is genuine.
Some things cannot be faked and this man seems almost as hurt over this as I am.
Imagine if someone had tried to intervene? They would likely have been assaulted and then charged with assaulting the police.
Disgusting. Full stop.
They would have likely been shot
Or have their necks been kneed too
Yeah but they might have saved that guy's life I don't think I could have watched the five minutes watching him get choked slowly I would have ran up and push the f****** officer especially if it was one of my friends
The cops would have shot them.
I probably would of been dead.
For a politician, he seems genuine. That is a rare feeling to get from someone in any office nowadays.
@raphael vitton I'm reading body language and listening to his answers. He is not doing this scripted since it is live. What are u doing? Judging based on prejudice?
He's just a good actor who has incentive. His police department has been one of many that are implying to the cops to get rough with people. This man knows these sort of things were happening, because there's been many, many complaints. Don't give him an out because he's a "nice looking young man, who sounds sincere". The only sincerity he has is his intention to save his own neck, at the expense of the cities, "spit and polish disciples in uniform". Chauvin, the cop who knelt on George Floyd's neck, had many complaints against him, and he's not the only one in that department that has complaints against them. YET...... they were still working, and the city was still signing their checks. There's absolutely NO question, that those responsible for George Floyd being murdered, sit in the mayor's office, the city manager's office, and the chief of police's office.
George Floyd committed theft with a firearm (was sentenced to 10 months
in prison), and then again on a separate occasion he robbed a pregnant
woman at gunpoint in her own home (for which he served five years in
prison), and he also served time in prison for cocaine on three
different occasions. He was on fentanyl and methamphetamine, and used
fake money when he got arrested. He got violent and resisted getting
into the police car which led to the cops taking him down. We can all
agree that if he was following the law this would not have happened to
him. On the other hand, the following is what happened to innocent
law-abiding Channon Christian: ruclips.net/video/ujBSkcwLb8s/видео.html (she couldn't breathe either).
You be the judge and decide which of these two scenarios is more likely
to happen to you if you are following the law. (Re-post and share with everyone you know until the knowledge of Channon Christian's death overtakes that of George Floyd).
He´s saying it! I can´t remember ever hearing a politician speak out that sincere, mindful and clear.
I don´t know him, but he sure must be a great Mayor to his city.
Exactly💯
I do. Obama. The fat orange hasn't even said a word about it. We all know why.
I'm sure he's a great mayor...really!! But when he referenced the main question he had wrestled with over the past 24 hours I couldn't help thinking: "How can I best use this opportunity to get re-elected?"
I have a good one to in Boston
Waited until after the riot though. So much destruction the tax payers will have to pay for. I guess better late than never though.
I see integrity in this guy. That's absolutely beautiful and powerful. Godspeed, my brother.
So do I
Agreed
It seemed at some points like he was about to cry. I'm glad he is doing the right thing.
this is a prime example of using his white privilege justly.
He wont last. He just lost the votes of the unions by attacking the police.
When the mayor of a city has to “beg” a county attorney to press charges, that speaks to an even bigger problem.
Isn't that something! It was obvious that justice should be served automatically, rather than the Mayor pleading for justice!
Facts sir
There's separation of powers even on the city/state level. The mayor doesn't typically intervene in the job of the county attorney.
When good men stand idly by, atrocities are left unchecked. Taking a stand now will set the precedent for the future.
Marques Hardison federal corruption
All the police officers at the scene should be charged, they aided the act...
Ian Knight if it’s not your fault then there’s no need to be ashamed
I agreed but the one that murder Floyd they should give him electric chair.
For what? More fake news to create race wars? ruclips.net/video/oZyIDRwTFLk/видео.html&bpctr=1591179223
Poor officers though. After all they served this country
Their police chief is no better, he has skimmed off 16 of 17 charges against him, and has been quoted saying "I've shot three men and none of them bother me". Nice leader! He's no longer with them, thank god.
This young mayor is speaking up for the community actually doing his job this is amazing! We need more people in power, not greedy power hungry machines!!
This is what it looks like to do the right thing.
James Rieger finally a whit guy that is not trying to twist to fact
What about the other three cops who helped kill him though
Claude Williams 💯 humans forget we’re all just a fragile sack of organs & they have no power given to take the ONLY life of another, especially an innocent
Hes jumping the gun. This should be done behind the scenes. Hes publically pressuring the DA
I wish all people would do this
I hope this Mayor goes far he is very transparent and passionate for his community.
Ebony Gibson Agreed 💯%
I like him
We'll see
maybe president?
I've met the mayor Jacob Frey in person at his office and he seems very nice and I really liked him.
Every officer there should be charged; the man with his knee on his neck 1st degree; the others felony murder!
It's coming.
1st degree murder is a planned murder. The murder wasn’t planned so I would say let’s not overcharge someone’s crime because we are asking for justice, overcharging him would be injustice. I would say it’s maybe a 2nd degree murder but I know that man and his team needs to be behind bars, aiding in a murder is murder too!
EyE 4 AN EYE.....GRANDFATHER LAW....IF YOU KILLED.BE KILLED OR LIFE INTO THE HARDCORE UNIT
@@henryng149 Thanks for putting it in a simple factual perspective to enlighten people who are of no legal mind.
This outrage is only because he was black the officers in the case of tony tampa were not charged (tony was a white man)
I have so much respect for this mayor. He didn’t drag his feet and he’s calling it for what it is. We desperately need more politicians like him.
Im sure he had to collect his thoughts but he is speaking out, good for him.
Autobot Diva I’m sure he did but he ended up doing the right thing.
I can respect a guy that keeps it real with the ppl.
On god 👏🏾
This guy spoke the truth. But fellasone thing 4 sure he will be gone soon = death. They gonna kill him 2... They will find a way 2 kill him...
Sad thing is, if this wasn’t filmed, there wouldn’t be any charges.
No shit!!!!
Well I mean, that is the law
Not true Eric Garner, Alton Sterling, Tamir Rice and many more were murdered on film and nothing happened
Oh, you're absolutely right about that.
If the deceased had been White,& the cop black, would it been national news?
I have never seen a mayor with this much courage and passion. You hear about how all politicians are insincere. Mayor you are the real deal.
I really wish our president was the same way . I want Jacob Greg for president 2020!!!
*frey* I hate spellcheck 🙄🙄🙄
He seems like he is very real......
That’s how a “politician” should talk, act & behave. Pure class.
All four of these officers should be thrown in jail IMMEDIATELY.
PERIODT!!!
No justice. No peace. ✊🏽
hang the knee officer
WHISPER responding to violence with more violence (lynching) is never the right way to go about protesting something, we just have to arrest the officers responsible, let them stand trial for murder, and any reasonable jury would probably convict the officers
Why just jail, they all need to be sentenced to DEATH
I'm pro law enforcement and conservative. What happened in Minnesota, I was really disappointed and disgusted. I want that cop held accountable.
Agree
We can be great human beings regardless of party 🙏🏾
Oh really, then you're late for being disgusted with this type of police brutality, it's being going on for a while now, you didn't know.
Thank you for the honesty sir. 👏🏾👍🏾
@@colorpurple4623 ?? He just said that he's disappointed and angry with this specific situation. He never said anything about previous murders.
It’s a damn shame the *MAYOR* gotta tell the attorney to do his damn job 😠
Damn good point
EXACTLY!!
Prosecutor should have already done something he should be fired plus this guy has my vote next president elect if he runs
Unions keep the attorneys from prosecuting cops sadly. They will refuse to work with that prosecutors which will hurt everyone it’s ridiculous
Facts
Over a thousand people've been arrested these last days, yet they cant arrest THREE people?!?! Three people who watched him getting murdered and still did NOTHING? Y'all this is america..
It makes so sense and wonder why were angry ✊🏽💔✊🏽🖤
In that order. I'm confused. Their arresting Protesters wanting Justice but, Not arresting the Officer that caused the protest to begin with. Makes no sense
@@str8thang33 period
So I have talked to someone in law enforcement who is down for the cause and they said that it could be a good thing, that they are gathering evidence to put in the strongest charge possible. Time will tell of course but hang in there.
Iesha Renee none at all but Hey This Is America Black Lives Matter ✊🏽🖤✊🏽🖤
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
One of my absolute favorite quotes!
We should refer to the whole of Letter From a Birmingham Jail. This Mayor is not an example of the white moderate that MLK warns of. Instead this Mayor is displaying the exact action and character that MLK called for from our white counter parts.
That is the truth. I hope injustice ends every where very soon
I love it when the white supremacist quote MLK so often because he was a black man FOOOL who thought trying to be peaceful to those who want us dead was a good idea..
The other cops could have told him to let him up at anytime and after you hear he can’t breathe.DO SOMETHING
All 4 should be behind bars! They did nothing- NOTHING to stop it. Not one second of concern, care or respect from those other 3 officers!
If you want a vision of the future (2020), imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. George Orwell
They did the opposite they stopped people from helping that’s even worse.
@@adamsilesia5753 you people like to make everything about rAcE !1!1!
Those stupid officers aren’t cops they are jokes! A cops job is to protect citizens not watch them die!!
exactly only the bystanders had sum sense
"black men had been put in prison for far far less" well spoken! This guy seems to actually care
Weren't you swooned by words with Prez O.
When will you get enough of slick words by actors?
YES I JUST PRAY FOR HIS SAFETY...
Sean Blackwell you prefer them to speak at a 3rd grade level and still produce small results?
It's strange that all these incidents of deadly racist police brutality always happens in big deep-blue Democratic cities across America like LA, NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, DC, SF, Seattle, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Minneapolis, etc. Apparently, the Demotards prove they still are the "Party of Slavery and Lynchings." Clearly, there was some sort of "stop and frisk" order in place from the white Demotard Mayor of the city to brutalize blacks in the mostly white libitard city, and he has installed a black police captain (i.e., a "Captain Tom") to do his bidding and throw the stench of racism off himself for this racist policy like white Demotard always do. The mayor is trying to save his own @$$.
Rodney Boehner Joe Arpios cases? That’s Arizona, Republican. Aubrey shooting was in Georgia... republican. I could go on and on, it’s a power trip from the officers I don’t think it has anything to do with political affiliations. Not to mention you’re bringing up the Democrat party from the 1800s which all political commentators know platforms switched.
It seems like The 'Other' Officers have been unidentified… But they are : Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng
Put there addresses out there for the world to see
@Miguel Del Real thats just too far
@@CultReport They aren't at their houses anyway. They need to be held accountable. Street justice is much faster and more efficient.
@@trevorskates94 yeah, but doxxing those cops may put their families at risk, they had nothing to do with this.
Shame on them all
If you do nothing, when you’re in the position to do something, than you’re part of the problem.
FACTS
Not really, if any of those bystanders where to walk up and try to push the cop off him, they would have been shot
Bish they weren’t in the position to do anything less they be killed as well
agreed
But he can't do anything, he needs the DA to do that. Separation of powers is a thing
This is the youngest and the most intelligent mayor I’ve ever seen. We need more like him....
Exactly what I was thinking. This guy looks really young but I'm liking him
Lol what's so intelligent about this?
Its pretty simple. Some dude was murdered blatantly. And he's calling out blatant biases that's protecting the given murderer.
@@TheVoltaire1 get out of here
He’s 40
Who gives a shit what she looks like, what she said is true
Any "good cop" who stands by and does nothing ceases to be a good cop.
Shawn M. Schmidt EXACTLY!
Hate to say it... But same with the bystanders
Ceases to be a human being.
If I was a cop I would of helped
@@isoufo bystanders couldn't do anything, the officers kept telling them to stay back and when they came forward he brought out a can of Mace. They repeatedly told the officer to get off his neck after he stopped moving and to take his pulse.
To everyone saying he doesn’t care about black people or the community or justice, and only cares about “re-election” he was literally a civil rights lawyer for years before becoming mayor and literally ran his campaign around this stuff. He was also told point blank by protesters that they wouldn’t vote for him unless he committed to abolishing the police department on the spot. And he still refused, instead to reform the system and so forth. So I don’t think he cares about re election as much as what he thinks is right for the community. And he definitely cares about his community whether he makes the right decisions or not. I don’t agree with everything he says but I’m just pointing this out. Don’t polarize. Please. People criticize trump and republicans for polarizing and dividing. Now is the time more than ever to show the distinction and be better. And not fall into the same boat of polarization. There are shades of grey in everything and just because someone feels they should go about “change” a different way, it doesn’t make them an “enemy” or somebody that doesn’t “care”.
Yes and hes a democrat, not a conservative.
The other 3 should at least be charged with accessory to murder.
Exactly.
Yes your honor o7
Mom Vaz you are exactly right! All FOUR need to be charged!
And publicly executed
Mark Cullenane something
Wow, Imagine if this wasn’t recorded? I promise you that police officer would still have his job.
The police report is a joke total lies !!!
Would the cop have his job? That’s a good joke! Guy would prob get a promotion
Afraid you're likely right.
However I don't approve of the looting by opportunists
I believe that statement to be very very true
I happy to see the Mayor stepping up even if his staff told him not to comment he spoke the truth!!!
he was at the mic alone, no one around him.
@s b Why is that? Cause he won't stand behind the blue line? He won't burry the fact that he killed that man? Oh yeah there are all good ole guys, right?
When is this Mayor going for President - He actually seems like a genuine human
Yeah, he would make a good president because he said himself in another interview that’s trump knows nothing about weakness and leadership.
mizanur rahman he def would. Trump wants people like you out of the country so I hope you REALLY dont supprt him
@@mizanurrahman-oz7oj what are you basing your opinion on? Bet you can not answer.
Wow....i can't believe this mayor is actually fighting for justice to be served. This is amazing.
I hope he stays safe
Everyone is taking about that one cop who killed him, but what about the other three?! All four of them need to go to jail.
Arrow Strike agree👍🏻
Exactly.
they’re definitely accessories to murder !!
Amen to that.
I agree 💯 they a need to be charged...
This mayor a real one. I didn't expect him to answer the questions like this.
Right? I was like DAMN...
I can see him as President
right ,made me uncomfortable a little bit, dude seems like he's upset for real , looks like he wants to get them personally.
he's a smart guy, reminds of Trump.
@@trubeleiverz4723 as well he should be.
Charge him now lock the 4 of them UP. Lock Them Up
You made my pause raise and I'm not from American but this is what a human being would do who has a good heart. I think he'll make a better president than Trump can and will ever be
May God may always keep you and your family safe always and forever
The electric chair is best.
Deborah Armstrong. If a black man commits a crime. Does the black man have the right to a fair trial? Or does only become racist if a white man kills a black.
What does colour have to do with anything? Is there a different law between black and white, white and black murder cases?
Those cops should not be free this evening.
They should already be locked up.
This mayor is right.👍
Agree.
Too think you actually think the mayor cares is funny... if there was a minor up-rage the most the officers would have received was slap on the wrist one month payed leaved or Id like to call regular vacation... no this time people began to wake up and riot and ofcourse they comply in the only way they truly can ever understand or they just simply fear it... which is why it’s dumb to accept what he says as truth.
Pinning someone down by their neck till they die. Yeah, its murder. Period.
All men are created equal. Even police officers must be held up to the standard of the Law
No it’s not it’s a tickle fight
If its not murder then we can do that to cops right?
Agreed, but i think they all should be locked, it's just as evil of them to just stand there while a man is pleading for his life, on top of they they blocked people who clearly wanted to render medical assistant
As a #black man with a black #son i could almost #thank this #evil bastard. Because he set off a #chain reaction 10 times greater then #Black #Lives #Matter movement which i have to say i never #supported. Because if #police protect millions of #black people everyday we have no #right to declare our lives greater then any other #color! ALL LIVES MATTER! And good police prove this #EVERYDAY. Its not a black person in America that want call police in there time of need,when we know they force is 95% #White! That's trust regardless of what we want to believe as the African American Race.🙏🙏
He really is furious about this situation and you can hear and feel every emotion through his voice. I salute this man! Thank you for trying to bring justice.
Fatima Creations ,,,, I’m a pretty good on this about people,,,,This gentlemen is for real,,bless him.
No, he's upset that his city was on fire and has negative attention. I think he cares, but i think he's mostly feeling pressure
He’s a human with a soul, anyone with a soul and watched that video was emotionally destroyed. I think he tried to let his emotions pass before taking action, and that took one night. Awesome person, police need to know policing is for our protection and service, too much do they destroy the lives of others and destroy the constitution. They fire police who uphold the constitution and keep the egotistical monsters on board. I’m a conservative, and as Jesse Jackson once told me when they were starving Terri Shiavo, “Civil rights are for all mankind, it is not republican nor democrat.”
He is an idiot saying what people want to hear..he is full of BS
Yes I’m in tears and I have chills listening to him I salute this mayor
“Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?”
He is
Nichole ! Soon he will be in hell ok !god never forget him and no one forgive him to !
Tomislav Pavlović No he is not in jail, he is in detention awaiting his "sentence". He must go to prison for murder, and not for manslaughter. He is a fake policeman. He is a murder and he needs to go to Jail for murder. Nobody has the right to kill someone like that. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿✊
Hoa Binh Le Let’s make sure that what God wants happen and start now. #Justice
police should go on strike if officer is charged .......... why was floyd there .......... oh yea he was commiting a crime thats why cops were called ..........floyd was trying to offload fake money ...... not saying he deserves to die ........but he aint innocent
He didn’t die an hour later. He was killed at the scene.
Yea, shits sick. You can see the officer start putting all his weight on his neck
Definitely died at the scene I don’t know why some media reports keep saying he died later on
@Nghtly 2 If you can't breathe, you can't talk
Agree
I Agree
And the other police officers, who stood around and watched, should be charged as accessories to murder.
That's not how that works... otherwise so is the girl recording it for tiktok
Yes they should!!!
Both cops needed to go to prison or we will be doing jungle justices from now on
Even that Aisian looking, Eat everything that moves bastard was even watching while his fellow cult member sacrificed or black father, uncle ,brother. ... I'm bleeding out blood from my eyes right now from bawling
zeth fox that’s dumb and a lie. You expect more from a random black woman than the police ?that’s telling and had she or any of the people there had done something, engaged these monsters in blue, they would have been shot at or also detained in that manner
Finally, a politician that can speak coherently, with emotion, and seeking justice. This is a great mayor. Bravo!
Sounds like a whole lot of blame-shifting to me. Why was that cop employed in the first place??
do you think they have a question on the application that says: are you a racist and will you kill black men? how would they know that he would do this.
FuggelKatten it’s been reported that the officer in question has had some 18 reported incidents of aggression, agitation or excessive force. If that’s true, why was he employed?
That's more the broken out dated system. In dire need of a revamped system. Back ground check. Psychology evals on the regular. Reports against officers actually being taken seriously. Some people become cops because they want to do the right thing. Others do it because they are bullies an like the power trip.
You can spot out the weird over powering cops a mile away, makes me wonder how they get through the system. You can tell they don't fit in with normal people
Why is it that the mayor HAS to request that the officers be arrested, should’ve been arrested as soon as they saw the footage
Still free though
@Zeek Banistor it was literally a 10 minute video where you could see the man struggle and then straight up die under the officers knee. look it up bro, just cuz you didnt see it doesnt mean its not there.
Because the the Police are Racist, and they ain’t gonna get their own arrested but let’s hope this Mayor gets justice.
Police forces are Institutionalised Racist including the UK STRAIGHT UP.
The government is reaping what they have sown.
That is one understandably pissed off mayor I’m surprised he articulated himself so well. We need justice for George Floyd! Press criminal charges ASAP!
Was hard holding the tears back while watching this. R i p george floyd you will be missed
So Glad to Finally see a Politician I can believe. He really wants justice for George. You can see it and feel it in his words..Mayor Jacob I salute you from 🇬🇧
I DO NOT WANT THEM TO JUST PRESS CHARGES..
THEY NEED TO BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!!
FOUND GUILTY!! AND FORCED TO SERVE THEE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME!!😎
THAT'S WHAT JUSTICE LOOKS LIKE NOT JUST-US
@@drum420 think about all those people watching this *maniac cop* kill this man, all the while begging him to get off the mans neck. He cannot claim the man was resisting, he was handcuffed with two cops holding him. He cannot claim he was in fear of his life, he was kneeling on the mans neck nonchalantly with his hands in his pockets. *I'm like the mayor, I see no reason why this cop is not locked up.*
And to top all that off, *the man asked the cop very politely to please get off, I can't breathe.*
Why is he the one pissed off? He's the one that's in charge of his local police, If he hires a police chief that is incompetent in their hiring and training procedures, that's ultimately on him, not the police.
EVERY officer at the scene was complicit in Floyd's death by not stopping Chauvin
Exactly and that shit needs to stop.you see even another officer do wrong stand your ass up and say do something or go down with them.PERIOD
@Leopold lol then your a follower and a coward, grow a pair
Yes, every one's all 4 or 5 together in hell after justice's also the universe was observing thoses criminals called peace officer's

Real talk!!!
I'm very proud of this young man who share how he really feels for the family and the city!!!! It's time to seek justice America!!!!!
PRAISE GOD FOR THIS MAN, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS IN POLITICS WHO IS NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK UP AND SPEAK OUT THE TRUTH. 👐👏👏🙏🙏🙏
hes only doing it because people are raging on the streets and there is hard evidence on this. you dont wanna how how many cases get shoved under the rug.

Finally, was hoping someone actually praised this mayor. This is how a leader acts, it's unfortunate that it's so rare. All cops at the scene should be charged at least with accessory to murder. They stood there and let his death/murder happen
Agree
I get what you're saying but at the same time when a world leader is saying terrible things people won't stop talking about how terrible they are. Maybe if we spent as much time praising the good politicians, we wouldn't get so many bad ones.
Imagine if this wasn't filmed they will said, He died on Covid 19 virus...
We also wouldn't have buildings being burned and looted.
Nah, he died with meth in his system, obviously doctor prescribed for his COVID.
@Delphi Oracle
No they cannot say he died of covid-19 we all saw George Floyd get murdered live on camera. Delphi Oracle you really are clutching at straws that don't exist you sound so pathetic.
“I do not want to get into the fundamentals of different classsifications of MURDER”. He called it as it was. Murder.

He did!! Had to rewatch it to be sure. He's trying his BEST to keep his composure but for a blatantly obviously MURDER like this, it's impossible not passionately speak out about this and I commend him for being able to even keep it together like he did. He says what we're all thinking
“Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail? If you had done it, if I had done it, we would be behind bars right now... We cannot turn a blind eye. It is on us to see this for what it is and call it for what it is. George Floyd deserves justice.” Thank-you, Mayor Frey.
surprisingly well said by Mr Mayor

The murdered victim was UNARMED and NOT resisting arrest. He said several times he could not breathe and BEGGED for his life. It's all on video. These people should not only be fired, but they should also be charged with murder.
We all know the answer, because he was a cop. Anyone remember years ago before cell phones with video if this had happened there would be a whole lot of "he must have been doing something if this happened" and the like? As much as I dislike what cell phones (and other forms of video recording) have become they have been a huge boon to proving cops often do wrong either intentionally or by accident.
You killed him and you need to go to Prison !
I love how this mayor repeats or rephrases the questions to make them clearer for himself and for all listeners. And I love his answers more: honest and consistently for the sake of justice.
I like him too, seems like a decent guy.
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Who the hell cares! I dislike how you’re so star struck over this mayor while the topic of interest is about a loss of life. Keep your obsession to yourself.
@@chauncollins7616 I respect your freedom of expression. All I did was express my appreciation for how the good mayor clearly and honestly articulated his stance on achieving justice for the terrible loss of life. Now I'm not American, nor do I live there in the US. Still, as a human being, I sympathize and I'm in solidarity with all those who seek justice for George Floyd. I know how it feels like: two of my uncles, my mother's brothers, were killed in their fight against social injustices, being labor rights activists. And no, I'm not obsessed with the good mayor, but I am impressed and wish him all the best.
Karlo Silverio Sevilla You should open with that first, however I do apologize for the outburst but you must understand this situation isn’t a light issue. If any of us were in this particular situation we all would be very passionate about this very heinous murder. I also would like to extend my condolences to you and your family. There’s no way I can remotely feel the void you have but from a basic and humane understanding I’m truly saddened by the news of your loss. I just feel the this isn’t the time nor platform to praise the mayor about how articulate he is; not now!
This man spoke more honest and sincere than Trump has ever spoken in his entire life
Moron.
yeah yeah dont u people ever ever stop being so ignorant and all ways trying to discredit our president our president is just as angry and just as up set about this whole thing and has made and said it himself so stop with your ignorance everyone wants to see justice done period so there is no need for your ignorance in trying to once a gain use a mans death as an excuse to attack our president sorry but your ignorance is not needed let the man rest in peace and stop with your stupidity and ignorance no one wants to here u
that Orange Pinocchio is a compulsive Liar in the flesh to get more votes & a real COWARD
@@sowhat8642 but this mayor and the governer are the ones responsible for that cop being on duty with a bad resume before the Floyd incident, they then were the one responsible to order his arrest immediately even before the situation had to reach the President. It was President Trump who even ordered the FBI to investigate on him.
These two Leaders (the Mayor and Governor) instead of sending police to stop the violence they call them off and let the violence continue.
Not mentioning the fact that the states sparking with these crimes are Democrat lead.
I don't know how you find a way to blame President Trump on this.

SWEET JESUS A REAL MAYOR!!😳
A REAL PERSON A HUMAN BEING!!👍
He really is and passionate
Just because he says so, doesn't mean that the it is really going to happen lmfao.. when was the last time the beast system told you the truth... NEVER sounds about right.
He murdered him his buddies did nothing everyone goes to jail that's our request ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!
@Truth-or-nothing nope murder 1
Execute them all life for a life.
It’s not a mere request my friend. It’s our demand.
"Request?!" No you demand!
@@ladydragon7777 Yup!
The fact that we have a mayor that has shown so much empathy is so refreshing. The entire community of minorities deserve this justification.
This man is a racist lol yall need to do research before claiming he needs to be president or praising him. Hes using this to fix a tarnished image. Look up his time in office and tell me this mfer ain't racist
Top Dog he could possibly be looking for the black vote, but he sympathy was unmatched in the end of the video. watch it.
@@topdogalpha "using this to fix his tarnished image"
.........
Are you serious? If he didnt say anything people would claim he doesn't care about what happened. Tf is wrong with people. Love the ones that hate you even more.
Yeah, he's really a good actor🏆
@@Cam710 I agree with you
I like his spirit, he seems like a decent soul.. Respect brother respect ✊🏽
Seems to think he is prosecutor, judge and jury.
EVERY SINGLE COP THAT WAS THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME FOR NOT STOPPING THAT POS COP!!!!!
Absofuckinglooootly
Like the black cop that was there and just let this act of racism happen, eh?
GreyBeard 19kilo Exactly. The pigs obviously had a grudge against that guy. No need to kneel on top of the mans neck whilst he was defenceless. Corruption at its finest.
charging people left and right
@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol Any officer that was there. It doesn't even matter the race. It doesn't matter the race of the victim either.
Honestly this is probably the first time I feel like a politician means what he’s saying. Respect ✌🏽
I thought i was the only one. He had my undivided attention, and gave me goosebumps. Bravo to this man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ray facts 💯💯
I can tell on His breathing and the colour or his checks that he Is upset and angry, this Is what a real human looks like.
Been so long since ive seen areal human on tv! Like you, i was watching him with a very keen eye and i must say i approve. And i never say that.. lol
Hang em!!!!!!!
👏 a real human being
Thats called angry white man.
ANYBODY would be upset if someone was pinning them down in a way to where they could not breathe.
The mayor is so anger about this, and we are all too. Fed up with Officers murdering and not arrested.
One of the things he said that struck me was “had anyone of us committed this crime they would be in jail right now, why is he not in jail?” That’s deep for a mayor to say that.
True
It’s sad that the mayor has to push so hard to get the cop arrested. We all saw the video, wtf is there to investigate?
Indeed!!
The union... look at that cops history. They couldn't fire him all those other times either.
Arrest him and then the riots end, until the verdict where it will be LA 1994 again fuck me.
Imagine suffocating a guy over a counterfeit 20 dollar bill smh
Is that an example or was it really a 20 dollar bill? I heard he allegedly forged but I’m really hoping you’re using an example.
are you serious?!
Imagine if you were unaware the bill was fake Just to be killed without knowing why.....
He was literally high on Cocaine but okay buddy
@@shadowspade2286 no he wasn't lmao
Knowledge. Understanding and wisdom. You are a young smart leader. God bless u Mr Mayor. Respect!
Eddison Shumba YES YES YES!!!
Yesss there is one white person in amerikkka that understands what is going on
Amen 🙏
Eddison Shumba I have been hoping for this day to come in my lifetime where a government official stands up for the rights of black men and against a police officer. Much Love to all!
Lasna34 or he feels strongly about an innocent black man murdered by the police, like many others in America feel right now? Just a thought.
I really love this mayor Jacob Frey he is very honest and he is justice and fair. Good job mayor v need more people like you here and in the world
The mayor is an ass kisser. He gave that speech to try and keep BLM from burning the city down.
This Mayor is young. I think it says a lot about his passion and moral compass. This truly and really gives me hope that this generation and the next will be all-right. It’s the old political leaders that often are small minded. I love seeing a Mayor speak through his heart like this.
Much love , respect & solidarity from The Netherlands.
We truly feel for the situation, for what happend to George Floyd.
Maria Mena he’s 40
We need more people like this Mayor in leadership, believe me law enforcement also support and understanding this Mayor.
"speak thru his heart" LOL the dude is trying to staty elected and not lose the black vote. sigh, idiots
@@eaSTS9 you're what's wrong with the world
Execute the cops and jussie smollet
They've ruined AMERICA
I’d almost given up on the human nature- it’s so refreshing to hear and see that justice is bestowed let it be black or white - bravo! Well done young man you have my 💓
Yes ma'am he touched my soul. As a black woman with 3 children his presence and becoming aware of him ...something just feels good. He is a blessing. May God expand his territory and authority.
Not to mention that gorgeous head of hair! Lol
It wont be justice until the cop that did this is in prison for life.
This is the first and the most honest mayor I have ever seen in my lifetime and a very fair man! I wish we could have a president like that! The country would be much better and a lot more peaceful to live in!
" I wish we could have a president like that!" WE DO!
I love this man! Amazing mayor !
@@TBPollock tell me where I can find trump's comments on this.
@Benjamin Doris Funny thing is tho.. that acting quickly and taking good measures has improved ratings for all the leaders that have done that, sadly he took a different route and even worse is bolsonaro (be grateful that the US isn't ruled by a guy like him)
@@miink1y if this wasn't on video, this so-called mayor wouldn't be saying a word and you know it. If he was serious he would have spoken out before now. This is not a black and white issue. One officer was Asian. This is what you get with Democrats. Race, race, race.
What a great Mayor, shows compassion, he was clearly upset at this brutality beyond words.
You can hear a sincere outrage in the mayor's voice! I wish more mayors in the country were like him. He's got some BIG balls! Hope these officers end up where they belong, in jail for murder.
Yep all of the officers should go to prison. If it was a regular citizen who was with someone that committed a crime they would go to prison too. It's the same thing. They stood there & allowed it to happen.
We all brothers and sisters. Together we stand ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Well that's very subjective... Thats wat we hope for..... Buut that aint the shit thats happening clearly
Amen. This goes beyond race... black, white, Latino, doesn’t matter.. wrong is wrong and that poor man was murdered. 🙏😔
Dillon A Beautifully said, my friend.
yes together we will rise
I agree and it dosent matter skin color, this is about unity!
Mayor Jacob Frey is a good man, and I wish him the best.
T S, yeah facts. Someone like him would make a great president.
WHy we got the old boring biden and not this man running for president so much charisma like John F Kennedy!!
Ok. Run for president.TODAY. RIGHT NOW. YOU GOT THIS
This mayor is such an exceptional leader. You’d expect political leaders siding with the cops or throwing it out there being “what a tragedy” and move on. Mayor Frey wants true justice and even want the officer to be charged. I don’t think I ever seen a mayor to make such a call, let alone being so vocal about it.
Yeah he hard body. Real man i can respect right is right wrong is wrong on this 1
This IS LOVE, REGRET, RESPECT, ALL POSITIVE ENERGY, MAYOR OF THE CENTURY 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
camera not only caught the murder but how he enjoyed it with a murderous heart
The man looked Demond possessed
it'll all show in court hes gonna get cooked JUSTICE will be served....
@James Fahnestock 100%.
depraved indifference
@Jack Flash STFU....Y R U H
ALL OFFICERS 👮🏻♀️ THAT STOOD STILL AND WATCHED ARE ACCOMPLICES
Surely so is all the people recording and standing there no?
snapfries did the people have as much power to stop it as the cop did? Didn’t think so.
sean spence literally just because he was black?
@@xxxtentioncord5649 You think a cop can stop another cop's arrest? not how it works, not unless they're of any higher ranks
Failure to report makes them all equally guilty whether the arresting officers participated or not.
He has empathy and that shows his integrity as a human being . It shows in his face that his conscious could not let this go on without any real actions. God bless you Mayor!!
Yes, he looks genuinely hurt and appalled.
Khan. Ain't The Most High Good!
Lmao
Yeah well God protect that man cause he’s another Pres. Kennedy ... stepping up against injustice and the evil forces will come for him.😢
God bless this mayor seems genuine and very caring wish him nothing but the best and success as a mayor and a person very appreciated politician this guy is.
I’m actually proud of how fast we as a society have condemned and acted against this injustice done to George Floyd.
Yeah definitely better than the two months it took to arrest Ahmad Arbery’s murderer
Matthew McCallister true but it shows how bad racial inequality is in our society when we are almost surprised about that
Ben 1410 sadly true
It definitely was the impact of ahumads case.. maybe people are seeing how this IS a racial issue
Don’t be proud of shit. Nobody gets points for saying that murder is wrong.
That police thug had 8 minutes to contemplate the situation.
8 minutes of hearing Georges cries
8 minutes to realise he was hurting him
8 minutes of bystanders telling him to stop
But for those 8 minutes he shoved his knee into Georges neck.
MURDER.
These cops are either with the American people or against the American people enough is enough
J W get your facts straight. He was not resisting. They subdued him. There were 4 officers on scene. Stop with the BS please and call a thing a thing.
@UCsCIB62UoLg1pFHfyUGmOxA an unconscious and dying man is NOT resisting. The man had peed and his nose was bleeding. This was no issue of resisting arrest. If you haven't, watch the video if you can find it. This was cold blooded murder and it was done out of spite for the onlookers begging for the man's life.
@UCsCIB62UoLg1pFHfyUGmOxA I guess you saw another video so please release it. The one I saw had a cop holding a handcuff man with his knee on his neck. Thanks for enlighten us
He also had 8 mins of by standers begging him to stop and asking him to check George’s pulse! People telling him that he was killing this man! But he was cold, he was showing no remorse and he was displaying the highest level of evil!
He is right though, if it was one of us, we will be rotting in jail the same day.
Nightclaw even if a by stander pushed the officer off him they’d be charged with assaulting a police officer.
Fr
Tyler you are defending wtf ppl are crazy
Coyote112 12 ........ you know that bystander would have been dead
I am proud of the Mayer and he is explaining as best he can
Thank you Mayor Jacob for speaking the truth 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If you wanna be a cop you need to step in when you see someone dying.
You’re damn fuckin right mario
just dont step on the neck
Too bad the majority of cops are cowards.
Johnny Karte And most are crooked and are controlled by their higher ups. You see the Seattle officer who got fired for speaking up about other officers forcing stay at home order unlawfully?
I know it’s difficult to choose between an arrested suspect and your fellow (brother) officer. But as a sworn police officer having taken the oath to serve and protect the innocent, when you see wrong and injustice being done, step up and do the right thing. Do your badge proud, do your family proud and most of all, when you look into the mirror, do yourself proud.
This is why the police doesn't want you to record.
Facts
Truth.
Nonnof Yobiznes one thing I can say from experience if they don’t like the camera he has something to hide. There’s a lot of very good cops outstanding cops out there that have that at swear to the house and protect us those police officers don’t mind me having a camera they are OK with it because you’re not doing anything I shouldn’t be doing God bless you all I was joking about being a present you pay for way too serious on here yo lighten up man pray for his family bless
Lol they have body cameras
I record police in N.C.
The assisting officers should also be prosecuted they were preventing the public from saving his life
I agree.!
If they did allow the public to push the officer off, it would have escalated into a riot and more people would have died.
HERE HERE!
Totally agree, they are also guilty. They didn't help, they did not do their jobs correctly and because of their negligence a man a dead.
On Tuesday afternoon, the office of lawyer Tom Kelly confirmed they were representing one of the officers involved in the case, and confirmed his identity as Derek Chauvin
Im tired of even hearing "white and black". Im tired that is still a difference. And that nothing changes in the community. But Charging all these officers for threatening essential human rights is definitely something to begin with....
I wish we could live in a world where we don't use the term white and black in any way, except for a persons visual description...
🤝
unfortunately racism exist ...
Go to Zimbabwe everyone is Zimbabwean even white people are called Zimbabweans it just that the country is broke😢😢😢
All 4 of the officers should be arrested for murder.
Tortured
No. Only one was on his neck.
The man who did it yes. The other 3 charged as accomplices.
@@chuyistheshiz6811 "To serve and to protect". They sat there and WATCHED this incident which they could have prevented. Send there ass's to jail as well.
@@chuyistheshiz6811 the other three did nothing to stop him. The officer that choked the man wasnt following protocol, and the other cops are supposed to step in when that happens.
“We’re not talking about a split second decision that was made incorrectly” well said mayor ♥️🙏🏼
Agreed. That was a very good point.
One of the best statements I have heard from a politician ever.
A politician that calls for charges based on an internet video? Please watch more politicians and make sure you vote
That's because his ass (job) is on the line and he knows this
Absolutely 🙏🏼
Guy sounds like the worst type of politician..
Says more about you, then about "politicians" . But thats cool. Just saying.
"IT IS ON US LEADERS TO SEE THIS FOR WHAT IT IS. AND CALL IT WHAT IT IS"
Our City deserves Justice.
The WORLD deserves JUSTICE.
Wow, Minneapolis has a young, articulate, and passionate Mayor. I hope that one day I can get a Mayor like Jacob Frey in my city.

Yes
cha not really unfortunately

Exactly!
WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO START WALKING THESE PEOPL OUT OF THERE OFFICES LITTERALY!!!...WE NEED TO REWRITE THE CONSTITUTION!!!...CAUSE THEY ALREDY VIOLATED US UNDER THERES....REVALUTION TIME!!!

At least
Nope death penalty
