BREAKING NEWS: Police Kneels In Solidarity With US Protesters Across America by bcomputer101: 4:03am On Jun 01, 2020
Miami witnessed a peculiar sensation as Police were seen kneeling down for protesters.

This gesture is coming as an apology for the death of George Floyd. It also served as a demonstration of the cops' commitment to ending police brutality in America.



The Death of George Floyd has sparked renewed interest on the subject of racism. 

George Floyd was murdered by a White policeman who pinned him on his neck with his knee. He continuously pleaded for breath before he died.

His death recalled the murder of other black men such as Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, among others.

As a result, there have been massive protests around the US cities such as Louisville, Minneapolis, Georgia among others.

In the manner which the White Cop was killed, that is, by kneeling on Floyd's neck, Miami Police knelt in a similar manner to plead to the protesters. They also went ahead to hug the protesters.



Other cops were seen carrying banners bearing inscriptions such as "end police brutality now".



This is a commendable display and it portrays the American police as a very intelligent organization.

African police force can also emulate such noble acts in times when the actions of a member of the force destroys the reputation of the police force.

Awww, Tears won't stop running down my cheeks for our black bothers. Florida police really did well.

They were shipped there in chains.
They broke the oceans in half to be in US.
only to meet nothing that wants them.

The Miami-Dade County Police knelt together with protesters not only to show solidarity but to pray with them. It's certainly a good move to help de-escalate the situation.

Rubbish. They re all the same.
In apologising, the police dey mock them.
How them go use the same kneeling position as apology?
For all the police wey kneel down, all of them na white!

So, they are telling the black protesters say them go still kneel down for their neck.
This is not an apology but mockery.

I don notice one trend,
White police go kill black man.
Black go protest in an uproar.
Them go sack the police or charge them to court.
Black go come mellow.
Police no die, but the black man go don die go.

May this cycle be broken in Jesus name. Amen
