Don’t just investigate Minneapolis Police system, Investigate America’s police system.

'...This is the first time that the State is launching a civil rights investigation into the systemic discriminatory practices...' Hmmm... Tells you all you need to know about the need for reforms right there.

When you get through talking charged the other 3 public servant.

[Traffic]

Hope he's not all talk & no action. #We'll see

[ImAlecPonce]

That’s a good first step, but we need the same in other states as well.

[DJdoppIer]

That's nice. So when are you going to arrest the other 3 officers???

[wandawatson]

ALL OFFICERS SHOULD BE LOCKED UP THEY WERE ALL DOING IT TO HIM...IF SOMETHING ANIT DONE WITH THEM THERE WILL BE MORE THE JOB THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

[demarcuscousinsrdcousin]

Here they go with the People of COLOR phrase

[saearc]

To calm the riots, we need those 4 cops to apologize...We had 8 yrs of Black President and years of Black elected officials in major cities who are getting huge salaries, what have they done to improve the lives of their communities? Let them come up with a plan.

[TRUTHSEEKER-ehlz]

WE SHALL SEE.
NOT THE TIME TO LIE !!!

I don't speak ASL but as I watch Nic Zapko interpret the governors words, I'm sitting here like "Yes, girl! Tell me what happened! Tell me what's up!"

[a.nnganga]

Release our Brethren that are rotting in your jails wrongfully!. NO MORE KILLINGS of Our Brethren!. NO MORE JAILS for Our BRETHREN!.

[mtvg]

Video shows 4 officers murder a presumed innocent man! All 4 should be in jail facing Murder Charges in the 1st Degree and it should be elevated due to the murder being committed by Officers of the Law. There's no justice! It's Just Us!!

[johnhardin]

I love just watching the sign language translator

[righteousone]

This action needs to be a Global investigation into all Police Department large and small... Weed out the Tares amongst the

[jillgran]

This is what comes up when I search MN current news.. Walz, 2 years ago. He's so absent and disconnected to Minnesotans, I have a hard time believing we re elected him.... so frustrating.

[melme]

Sounds good to me. But what about the co-killers and why only Murder in the THIRD degree?

[CK-TN]

The governerd needs to be investigated for violating Minnesotans civil rights. He’s a real pos!

[stevegage]

we keep waiting for the other 3 to get arrested.... no no peace... wake up

[dech]

May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you. Thank you Governor Walz. And yes the other three officers heard Mr. Floyd’s please and had a responsibility to stop the officer who was pressing on the man’s neck. They have been fired and if fired the department admitted a wrong was done. Charges are in order.
