It's a pretty powerful video.

I don't know what they're going to do in America. You need the police. The people who think you don't are a minority.

However, you have a much wider amount of people who think they need reform and a police force who are resisting. There seems to be little self-awareness about why people are angry or that they need to change.

You need someone to step up and try to reach a consensus that brings the institution of the police - if not all the officers - on board. Better training, more accountability, better recruitment and management.

That video of Geroge Floyd was sick. They just didn't care. He couldn't breathe, he wasn't resisting arrest and people were begging the police officer to let him breathe but the officer just sat there with his knee on Floyd's neck and he slowly died calling out for his mother. Even after he passed out, down was knee. And this was the police, what can you do if the police are the ones doing this? If someone pushed the officer off Floyd they would be arrested and best or subjected to the same violence at worse.

And it was all on video and the officer wasn't arrested until the riots started. If there was no video that police officer would be on the streets today.

I don't know how they're going to solve this.
