Stop the pain. Stop us from being tired. George called for help and he was ignored. Please listen to the call I'm making to you now, to the calls of our family and the calls ringing out in the streets across the world.

Agreed. Now everyone go home and stop acting like this is only a black man problem. I’ve see this shit it white hoods for decades.
Who is saying he deserved to die for $20?
Lots of people are killed that didn’t deserve it in a country with 330,000,000 people. The media focuses on this story to create division. Pure propaganda.
