This morning, Fox news showed about 20 seconds of the new George Floyd body cam footage while still pushing the original message (Sandra Smith). They showed about 3 seconds of him saying "Don't Shoot Me" then they immediately went to the part when he was on the ground and Chauvin was about to take a knee. Didn't show one bit of his erratic behavior and inability to follow simple commands. Or his buddy, who was also black, that walked away from the incident unscathed.

The media is PATHETIC! ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC! President Trump was 100% correct....then ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. I'm sick of it.

Floyd was an a-hole. The cop is supposed to be a professional and deal with assholes professionally.

Dude kept a knee on his neck for 9 minutes. frick Chauvin.

None of that makes these rioters right. frick all of them, too. But, let’s not act like the cop wasn’t an overly officious tyrannical dick head.

There is nothing more relevant to this story than Floyd saying "I can't breath" well before he was on the ground.

And the most relevant point BY FAR is that he asked to lie down.

The truth matters.....and folks are dying over this nonsense.

The fact that the DA intentionally withheld the live video is criminal. If another country's news outlet didn't leak it we'd never know.

That's easy for you to say because you have the luxury of NOT dealing with the George Floyd's of world everyday for the past five years.

Have some perspective.

I agree. That officer probably had done that hundreds of times in his career and he hit a perfect storm this time with Floyd and the bad habit bit him in the butt. Actually bit both of them in the butt I guess you could say

Do you think that is what killed him? Autopsy showed, according to a Tucker Carlson clip, that the guy had four times the amount of fentanyl in his system that is needed to kill a person. One of the side effects of the drug is shortness of breath. Autopsy revealed he had several narcotic drugs in his system.

I didn’t raise my hand and take that oath. I didn’t accept that job. Chauvin did that.

I know people who are scared to fly. They aren’t helicopter pilots.

If you can’t be professional....get out of the profession

So immediately all your dumb arse comments were about the incident, which we can both agree and disagree on. The point of the post was how it was covered.

I would LOVE to see that footage with a police officer narrating through it, pointing out all of the things that arse clowns like you don't even realize.

Anyone who thinks Fox has their viewers’ best interests in my mind are just as stupid as liberals who believe the same of MSNBC or CNN.

They are the enemy of the people . I don’t know how anyone can say otherwise that is familiar with what has transpired over the past 4 years . Me personally I was saying this in 2009/2010 with the Obama presidency how the media hide his corruption , and incompetence in office .

Boomers need their confirmation bias and talking points from Hannity.

"While it was shitty, i don't think it was on purpose."

I assume you mean Chauvin did not intend to kill Floyd. If so, I think all right-minded persons would agreed with you. However, Chauvin had his knee on Floyd's neck "on purpose."
