The FBI is investigating the death of George Floyd, black man who was pinned on the neck by a police officer and later died in custody. Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison joins The Beat with Ari Melber’s breaking coverage on the latest from the FBI and the protests. While the officers involved have yet to be charged, Ellison argues a “quick arrest” might “make people feel better about justice” it is “important” for investigators to “take the time to make sure that these charges, if they are brought forward, stick.

  1. Go and ask the thousands of protesters milling in US cities while you are logged in to BU making an ass of your self.


  2. By the way. BU maybe centered in Barbados but it also has an audience in the USA. And many bajans got some relative living here.

    That’s aimed at the ones that trying to cry down Barbados and BU/ David for publishing this article


  3. @ John2 / @ Greene

    I OWE BOTH OF US AN APOLOGY.

    THERE ARE no CORRUPT AND DISHONEST POLICE OFFICERS OR DISHONEST POLITICIANS IN BARBADOS NEITHER IN THE DLP OR BLP.

    ALL OF THE WRONG DOING ON THE ISLAND IS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION AND I DO NOT LIVE IN REALITY.

    HOWEVER I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT ONLY CORRUPT AND DISHONEST POLICE AND POLITICIANS IN US AND ELSEWHERE ABROAD.

    BARBADOS IS INDEED PARADISE ON EARTH AND NO WRONG IS DONE THERE PERIOD.

    GTFOH

    ALL THE REASONS WHY BARBADOS IS A FAILED ISLAND WHERE ITS BLACK PEOPLE LOCALLY IS SUBJUGATED WHILST OTHERS LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHILE PRETENDING NOT HERE BUT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    WHOEVER SAID COMMONSENSE IS COMMON.


  4. @John2

    Black people should be connected. It should not matter the geography.

    Wrong is wrong.

    A policeman with a knee on a mans throat who was not a threat for 9 minutes is wrong. We have these old men with only time to dribble on the blog trying to obfuscate.


  5. Correction:

    I OWE BOTH OF YOU AN APOLOGY.


  6. RE Go and ask the thousands of protesters milling in US cities while you are logged in to BU making an ass of your self.

    I DONT CARE TWO HOOTS ABOUT he thousands of protesters milling in US cities I FIND THAT BEHAVIOUR TO BE REPREHENSIBLE

    AND I AM CERTAINLY NOT MAKING AN ASS OF MYSELF BECAUSE YOU CANT UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM COMING FROM


  7. Baje,

    i told you once we get to that bridge again you and i will discuss it to your heart’s content. hold your horses man. i am so if the Bim police are so corrupt something will surface soon


  8. Pressure on carotid artery cuts off oxygen to the brain. The old wrestling move the sleeper is an example. Continued pressure on the artery will eventually lead to brain death.


  9. And the blogmaster can careless what you think. He will share his feelings about this senseless act. If you do not like it you know what to do. You Christian you!


  10. ” the eggshell skull rule in criminal law HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PATHOLOGY HERE

    YOU CAN BREAK YOUR EGG SHELLS AND MAKE AN OMELETTE

    IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT THE AUTOPSY REVEALED THAT HE DID NOT DIE FROM STRANGULATION.
    I FIND THAT VERY INTERESTING AS EVERYONE WAS HARPING ON KNEE ON NECK

    I WANT TO HEAR SOME PATHOLOGY AND ABOUT CAUSE OF DEATH”

    i see you are trying to steer the conversation to where you are comfortable. but the fishes are not biting lol


  11. Baje. Again you are a big ass

    No one is saying nothing bad happens in Barbados

    I have heard story of police brutality
    The last time a police shoot and kill in Barbados it was all over BU

    And there was no mention of USA
    So now that there is killing in USA
    Why you trying to make the story about Barbados? Why?


  12. Nothing bad does not happen in Barbados


  13. Pressure on carotid artery cuts off oxygen to the brain.

    GOOD THAT MAKES SENSE PHYSIOLOGICALLY.
    SO WHY WAS STRANGULATION GIVEN AS A CAUSE OF DEATH ?

    RE You Christian you! YES THANK YOU SINCE 1968 AND PROUD TO BE ONE


  14. Even Trump has weighed in to say it is wrong what happened. Yet the man on the blog always pontificating about the bible continues to demonstrate stratospheric stupidity. You have no credibility as far as teaching the doctrines of the bible. The blogmaster has always subscribed to the view, yee shall know them by their fruit. Now we know.

    You may have the last word.


  15. Even Trump has weighed in to say it is wrong what happened.

    VERY GOOD THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGED THAT!
    AT NO POINT AND AT ANY TIME HAVE I SAID THAT IT WAS NOT WRONG!

    I HAVE PASSED THAT POINT LONG AGO!

    Yet the man on the blog always pontificating about the bible continues to demonstrate stratospheric stupidity
    I CAN PONTIFICATE ON THE BIBLE BECAUSE I KNOW IT WELL
    I ALSO KNOW PATHOLOGY WELL TOO

    . You have no credibility as far as teaching the doctrines of the bible.
    I HAVE CREDIBILITY WHERE IT COUNTS LOL LOL
    WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BIBLE DOCTRINE SIR?

    The blogmaster has always subscribed to the view, yee shall know them by their fruit. Now we know.
    WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
    THAT YOU CANT UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM GOING HERE?
    YOU DONT KNOW A THING ABOUT ME


  16. Speaks fir youself. I can tell of having two officers pulling me over after midnight with guns drawn. Asking form my license and insurance Then to finally tell me that one of my head lights was out. Guess what color were the cops.

    Black man driving old car late at night
    Cannot tell how many time I got pulled over in that old car. And everytime it was at night. White cops. And some bogus excuse

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    @ John2

    YOU ARE WAY TOO STUPID FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

    EVERYONE WITH A DRIVERS LICENSE IN THE US KNOWS IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITH EVEN ONE HEADLIGHT OUT AT NIGHT IT IS A DRIVING INFRACTION WHICH IS A TICKET OFFENCE.

    AT MIDNIGHT WAS THE COPS WHEN PULLING YOU OVER SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT YOU WERE A BLACK MAN OR WERE THEY PULLING THEIR GUNS POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF BEING LATE AT NIGHT AND MAYBE WASN’T SURE WHO WAS IN THE CAR MAY or MAY NOT HAVE A WEAPON INSIDE.

    THE FACT IS THAT THEY DID NOT BEAT YOU, SHOOT YOU, CALL YOU RACIST NAMES, OR DETAIN YOU AND DID NOT VIOLATE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL OR CIVIL RIGHTS.

    YOU ARE A REAL REAL ASS, BREAKING THE LAW AND WANT TO JUSTIFY THIS AS A RACIST INCIDENT WITH 2 WHITE POLICEMEN AFTER MIDNIGHT AND YOU LEFT IN ONE PIECE TO GET HOME SAFELY THAT NIGHT.

    I MAY ADD YOU ARE BOTH SILLY AND PATHETIC.

    IN BARBADOS BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING LOCKED UP OR FINED FOR BEING OUT AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT BY BLACK POLICE LOCALLY AIDED BY YOUR BLACK BLP GOVERNMENT FOOL..


  17. And yes Barbados is paradise it is not perfect and a lot of shite does go on there

    But same thing dus happen every place including the USA which you rush to defend

    You mean there is nothing good that you can find in Barbados?

    We is the worst thing in the world and all the other countries good?

    @ Greene the eggshell rule just means that Chavin cannot use it as a defense to cause reasonable doubt against a murder \manslaughter charge i.e. Chavin’s defense becomes flimsier.

    @GP don’t “jump in glee” yet, a second autopsy has to be done but Chavin is hardly out of “hot water”.


  19. RE @GP don’t “jump in glee” yet,
    I AM NOT JUMPING AT ALL I AM JUST ASKING REASONABLE QUESTIONS ON THE BASIS OF MY KNOWLEDGE OF PATHOLOGY

    RE a second autopsy has to be done THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME

    but Chavin is hardly out of “hot water”. I DONT CARE ABOUT CHAVIN—-HE HAS APPARENTLY BEEN ALLOWED TO DO AS HE LIKED IN THE PAST, WHICH HAS LED TO THIS


  20. GP you are being a nuisance and disingenuous. With the eric garner situation the media and activists are quick to call any situation where a suspect says I can’t breathe strangulation. Strangulation will give a more visceral response than brain anoxia (I think that is the term because hypoxia means a lack of oxygen, you may correct me if I am wrong)


  21. Please, David! He also used a white supremacist mantra from some old riots – ” when the looting starts, the shooting starts
    The man talks from both sides of his mouth. Surely you know that by now! Don’t be satisfied with crumbs man.

    This is the man who said they should grab the kneeling NFL “SONS OF BITCHES” AND PUT THEM OUT OF THE STADIUM for protesting against the same police brutality.

    Black people are not allowed to protest, even peacefully. So apparently that kneeling is also “reprehensible’.

    ( Screw Amy klobuchar! It has already been decided that she will not be president. And if she is Biden’s running mate, it is highly possible that neither will Biden be president. He has already been warned. They would let the whole house burn down)

    Dr. Lucas,

    Yes, I get mad and very hot-headed very quickly at injustice caught on video. But you, with your “cool head” want to take up arms against Bajan Moslems for something you believe, without any evidence at all, that they are about to do.

    I rather keep my hot head. You can stay there with your cool one.

    Baje,

    Our disagreement is actually not on the substance usually. It is about the degree.

    RE With the eric garner situation the media and activists are quick to call any situation where a suspect says I can’t breathe strangulation.

    WELL THEY ARE WRONG TO SAY SOl

    RE Strangulation will give a more visceral response than brain anoxia BUT THERE ARE SPECIFIC FINDINGS TO BE SEEN TO DIAGNOSE STRANGULATION. APPARENTLY THESE THINGS WERE NOT FOUND.
    DID A BOARD CERTIFIED PATHOLOGIST DO THE AUTOPSY?

    THE REPORT DID NOT MENTION ANOXIA IT SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF STRANGULATION.


  25. I ONCE HAD A WHITE POLICEMAN PULLED ME OVER IN THE US AFTER LEAVING A NIGHTCLUB AT ABOUT 2AM IN THE MORNING.

    I HAD SEVERAL ALCOHOL DRINKS PRIOR IN THE NIGHTCLUB.

    I WAS ASKED TO STEP OUT MY VEHICLE AND TO FOLLOW SEVERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO SEE WHETHER I WAS IMPAIRED AS HE SAID HE PULLED ME OVER AS I WAS SWERVING WHILST DRIVING.

    I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD JUST MOVED TO THE AREA AFTER JUST GETTING OUT THE MILITARY AND WAS HEADED BACK TO MY NEW APARTMENT.

    I WAS TOLD FROM THE TEST GIVEN THAT HE FELT I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE BUT WOULD GIVE ME A BREAK AND NOT TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

    WITH THAT I WAS HANDED BACK MY DRIVERS LICENSE, INSURANCE DOCUMENT AND GIVEN DIRECTIONS TO THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO MY APARTMENT.

    THIS WHITE POLICEMAN DID HIS JOB IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, HE WAS ALONE AND APPROACHED MY CAR WITH HIS GUN DRAWN INITIALLY WHILST ASKING FOR MY DRIVERS LICENSE AND INSURANCE.

    IT WAS CLEAR HE WAS DOING HIS JOB WHEN HE APPROACHED THE CAR.

    MANY POLICEMEN IN THE US HAVE BEEN GUNNED DOWN OR RAN OVER WHEN STOPPING CARS DRIVEN BY WHITE, BLACK OR HISPANICS THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE DAYTIME FURTHER MORE AT LATE NIGHT HOURS.


  26. MR GREENE
    RE i see you are trying to steer the conversation to where you are comfortable. but the fishes are not biting lol

    DONT WORRY SIR I AM VERY COMFORTABLE JUST BORED
    I NOT STEERING A THING I JUST JOINING IN THE DISCUSSION, AS YOU NEVER KNOW HOW EXPRESSING YOUR VIEW MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

    the fishes are not biting BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING TO DO SO
    THIS IS FUN


  27. GP I have not seen the autopsy report but very often autopsies are performed by the county coroner. County coroner’s do not have to be board certified pathologist. A second autopsy was ordered I suspect because the coroner is not a pathologist and a more thorough one is needed. Only a pathologist can do such


  28. So baje you ass

    That was in the 90 on a very well lit highway. It was so bright I did not even know my light had gone out until they told me

    Now you want silly me to believe that this was SOP for cops for when they pull over anyone at night?

    Then why didn’t the other cops who pulled me over at night didn’t have the same approach? A few of them were alone

    Actually I think it was the car that used to attract them to me
    After I changed to a newer model I got pulled over once for speeding

    Now tell me why wood you pull a gun to tell me my headlight was out?

    If I had made a sudden move for my wallet ??
    Another dead black man at the side of the road fir whatever bogus reason those two had come up with?

    I never when through anything so in Barbados. The good thing silly me kept my head on. That’s why I prefer my kids to be raised in Barbados – one of the reasons


  29. Anyhow. The discussion strayed

    It not bout me and my experiences

    The whole day all u doing is deflecting that USA so damn good and Barbados so bad

    The young man was murdered in the USA that what this is about


  30. SOME OF YOU ARE WAY WAY TOO NARROW MINDED.

    NO ONE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE OUTRAGED THAN MYSELF SEVERAL DAYS AGO WHILST HAVING DISCUSSIONS OVER DINNER WITH A GROUP OF BLACK AMERICANS LIVING OUTSIDE THE US WHO ALL AGREED WITH THE PROTESTS FOR THE WAY HE WAS MURDERED. THE REACTION FROM US AND BLACK AMERICANS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME IF IT WAS BLACK POLICEMAN IN THE VIDEO COMMITTING THE SAME MURDER.

    BLACK AMERICANS DO NOT TRUST POLICE PERIOD EVEN THOSE WHO LOOK LIKE THEM.

    NOTE KAPERNICK AND OTHER NFL PLAYERS DID NOT TAKE A KNEE BECAUSE OF WHITE POLICE BRUTALITY AND MURDER SOLELY THEY TOOK A KNEE FOR POLICE BRUTALITY AND MURDER PERIOD WHETHER THE POLICE OFFICER WAS WHITE, BLACK, ASIAN OR HISPANIC ALL WEARING BLUE UNIFORMS.

    AT LEAST IN THE US PEOPLE MARCH AND REACT FOR THEIR FREEDOMS EVEN AT PERIL AGAINST ANY PERCEIVED REPRESSIVE SYSTEM WHILST MANY BAJANS WOULD PREFER TO LOOK OUT AND PRETEND IT IS NOT HAPPENING THERE LOCALLY BUT ELSEWHERE.


  31. Last on this

    A few of the other cop that pulled me over
    Even though they alone had their hands on they guns but the gun remain it the holster

    It the two with the gun drawn that was the most frightening for obvious reasons including they shooting blacks reputations


  32. RE GP I have not seen the autopsy report but very often autopsies are performed by the county coroner. County coroner’s do not have to be board certified pathologist. A second autopsy was ordered I suspect because the coroner is not a pathologist and a more thorough one is needed.

    YOU ARE AGAIN TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SUSPECT WHAT NOT WHAT YOU KNOW

    RE Only a pathologist can do such REALLY?

    BELFIELD BRATHWAITHE IS NOT A PATHOLOGIST EITHER BUT AS CORONER HIS PATHOLOGY REPORT WAS THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT SENT JUMAN TO JAIL IN LIKKLE BARBADOS


  33. @ TheOGazerts

    As the father of a young black male, I always worry about him. But when I examine the risk/benefits I prefer that he takes his chances here.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I SHARE YOUR SENTIMENTS 100% FROM MY EXPERIENCE LIVING IN BOTH USA AND BARBADOS.

    USA HANDS DOWN.

    BARBADOS IS THE ISLAND OF BULLSHITTERS WHERE MIA B*LLS THEM WITH A 14 INCH DILDO AND THEY WILL CALL IT AN ENEMA.

    GUESS IT IS MUCH EASIER TO LOOK ELSEWHERE AND NOT DEAL WITH ONES OWN REALITY ON THE GROUND LOCALLY.

    Just as they deserve, make examples of all of them..

    “A lawyer representing the family of Ahmaud Arbery has said that the US Department of Justice is investigating his killing as a possible hate crime.

    Lee Merritt said federal authorities are not only pursuing the hate crime line, but are also investigating two local county officials, George Barnhill and Jackie Johnson, who recused themselves from the case shortly after the killing in February, according to several news reports quoting him.”


  37. Teen Behind George Floyd Video Says She’s Traumatized by Online Abuse

    Darnella Frazier, 17, was the person behind the camera that recorded the heinous killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN. The now-viral video lit the match of civil unrest in Minneapolis and sparked solidarity protests across the country. However, the teen says she is traumatized by the online abuse.

    “I don’t expect anyone who wasn’t placed in my position to understand why and how I feel the way that I do,” Frazier shared on Facebook. “I am a minor! 17 years old, of course I’m not about to fight off a cop I’m SCARED wtf. I don’t give 2 f**** about what y’all would’ve did because was y’all there?? NO. Fighting would’ve got someone else killed or in the same position George (may he rest in peace) was in. If it wasn’t for me 4 cops would’ve still had their jobs, causing other problems.”

    In a clip with the news outlet Now This, Frazier said, “I watched this man die. I was the one that was recording the whole thing. I’ve seen him die. […] I posted the video last night, and it just went viral. And everybody’s asking me how do I feel? I don’t know how to feel. … It’s so sad, bro. This man was literally right here, 8 p.m. yesterday.”

    Check NIKE shoes and Betsy Ross flag!

    Rush Limgaugh had a ball.

    He raised millions from Americans pissed off with Kapernick and NIKE.

    Produced “Stand up for Betsy Ross” tee shirts and donated millions to charity from the effort.

    Americans are pissed off with Kapernick.

    Kapernick showed himself to be fundamentally dishonest and got himself nailed for his efforts..

    I am tired of the protests and call for justice by the black community in the USA. They should armed themselves and start an urban warefare in that coutry. They have enough guns in the system. Any other group of people wouldn’t tolerate that crap. Justice like they don’t tolerate that in the hood. The US military is poor at fighting urban warfare. With the history of maltreatment of blacks in that country, makes you wonder the lack of a black militant organization like what emerged in Palestine.


  45. What exactly is a white Hispanic?


  46. Here comes BU resident racist. Waiting to see how he spins this senseless killing into the fault of the victim or the black community.

    Claude Mckay said, if we must die, let it be not dogs hunted and penned in an inglorious spot. But rather, let us faced the cowardly lot, pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back. That should be the battle cry, to hell with protest. Those are for the timid and the weak.
    You think, the white minority in South Africa would haven taken this oppression lying down. Hell no!
