@Dupa Essex its your kind of mindset that keeps this poison alive in this country. For real change to happen it takes each individual person to change themselves and their mindset. We can't have real change as long as hate exists. Start with yourself then you can help other people
This is an outstanding gesture by this police department!!! I salute each and every one of you. As a black man , I applaud the chief for allowing this to take place!!!!!?
J-Byrd Lottery hey brother. It’s so sad what a bad apple mother fucker cop can do to an entire department reputation. Imagine a cop fucking your wife and setting up her husband with a warrant from another city outside Alexandria and put the husband in jail for calling his wife and not knowing how she planned with a sworn officer of the law??? Due to code of honor between them they destroyed a good man life
Because of this code of honor between cops they destroyed many innocent people lives. Some cops are fucking robots and being above the law they scare me
As a former resident of the State of Virginia, I take my hat off to the Alexandria Police Department.Thank You for this,God bless you! May we all come together one day in this great nation.
I understand that, but this shouldn't be just for cops it should be for everyone. A lot of people assume so much about different races/ethnicities or what have you. It isn't fair to all the ones doing right.
They ll has twelve of their deepest communist conduct their monologue then decide what s needed is more communism. Bigger advanced police state and needed tax to fund additional oppression
As I watched this video, I began to shed tears, because "Our People" have been deeply hurt/ killed by members of Law Enforcement OR incidents where "team officers" KNEW deep down in their hearts, their team "Officer" was doing something wrong, and wouldn't stand up and tell them, "STOP, YOU'RE WRONG, or just simply intervene and remove that particular officer out of the way, to REGAIN CONTROL of the situation. How do one turn their head away from someone being tortured? HOW?! As a Nurse, I have a duty to intervene/stop another Nurse from hurting/abusing, whether it's physically or verbally......that's MY DUTY....to cause NO HARM and to STAND UP to the ones that MAY cause harm......why can't they do the same.....Derek Chauvin DESERVES Capital Punishment by DEATH......the other 2 officers are just as guilty for restraining him, as Chauvin slowly take GEORGE'S LIFE away from him. Officer Lane asked his teammates, "Shall we roll him over?" You don't need to ask such question when you ALREADY KNOW what was being done didn't look or feel right....NOW, he wants to play, Mr Advocate.....He should have been GEORGE's Advocate like the TRUE OATH of Law Enforcement is SUPPOSE to do. And as for the 4th officer Mr. Chinese man, standing there protecting Chauvin from the crowd, he also chose, not to do the right thing........All 3 officers had a chance to make a difference.....they FELL! They FELL GEORGE, they FELL his CHILDREN/ HIS FAMILY......they even FELL their own families.....they FELL every member of Law Enforcement.....and they FELL the American People who believe in doing what's Right ......Sometimes you may have to stand ALONE in doing what's right.....and it won't always feel good......now, those 3 "ride or die" officers have not only messed up the FLOYD's family life, they have messed up their OWN LIVES and their families are also suffering from that ignorant choice they made that day......I'm sorry to post such a lengthy post, but I am angry and had to get it out.....to the officers that took out time to make this video, I say Bless each and everyone of you! Thank you! We are praying for you and we DO KNOW, everyone in Law Enforcement are not corrupt......whatever you do, please vow to make a difference.. Do what's Right......even if you have to stand alone.......

Because US police are so decentralized, all they can do is be an advocate. Unlike every other first world country, we let thousands of independent local local police departments make their own rules.

When there was jobs, pay hoing up, and Americans of color with America first instead of peoole of color, his approval eating started to climb. Then they went and nominated Joe Biden who spent a good portiin of his more than 4 decades of public life working against the black community, the democrats needed something to wedge the country. Play an us verses them so they released rioters from jail, backed off enforcement, and they will sit back come November counting the black vote. Because didn't you hear? Donald Trump is all the sudden a racist. They will tell you so by clipping statements out of context and ignoring the entirety of the statements. Its all a play by the democrats. They want, need the civil unrest to win 2020.
"I'm a black man first " this seems divisive in it's self. When we stop seeing ourselves as Black men and white men and just as men real change will occur.
There is nothing wrong with the distinction its becomes and issue when dont respect the distinction. It is what it is and as Black men and women we are viewed differently so that distinction have to be made because you can take off a uniform and no one would know that you were a police officer but you can not take off your beautiful Black skin. I want you to see me for who and what I am but I also want you to Respect me for who I am and that I'm different. Educate yourself.
Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge and address such a serious and profound act and time in police and American history. We write the stories that our children's children will one day read. The Alexandria Police Department's story will be one of healing. God speed
As an APD retiree this video shows the continued commitment we have to the community. I don’t know a single officer, active or retired, that saw Mr. Floyd’s death as anything other than a horrible murder.
If APD could write the book that other agencies had to follow, that would be something. It's unfortunate that many lack the will to change their ingrained department culture, and even those that do might not be able to afford it due to inadequate funding.
These aren't the days of the late 60's & early 70's where Native Americans & people of color were randomly shot/killed being hunted down for sport & fun with no retribution. Actions like these are taught, teach peace ✌as children and they'll follow, but if teach hate, bully, and haze and this is the outcome.
@Dodge Ram there was one that knock him down. There was another that wanted to help and another officer pushed him on. This is the problem right here. For so long if 1 messed up or used unnecessary force. The other cops turn a blind eye. That has to end
@@hawkmn7277 I’m calling you out for your BS lies here. I was a working cop in the ‘60s and we DID NOT hunt ANYONE down & shoot them for sport. You sound like another keyboard commando hiding behind the safety provided by the working cops & members of the military that willingly go in harm’s way. It’s pretty easy to throw rocks from the cheap seats when you’re a sniveling coward!
I dated a cop for many years and I have cousins that are in the police force and they are amazing at what they do. But when you say that not all police are bad please also remember that not all black men & women are threats either.
Thank God where I live we don't have problems with the police where I live. Plus the county I live in is mixed. Maybe cause it not big like New York or California. I don't know. But we get along with cops in this city. We respect them and they respect back
GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR GOOD OFFICERS OUT THERE IN THE FRONT LINES OF OUR SOCIETY. I HAVE SEVERAL FAMILY MEMBERS SERVING. THEY ARE GOING THRU THEIR OWN STRUGGLE. EVERY MAN SHALL BOW & BE JUDGED BY THE ALMIGHTY KING.
This sounds good. I pray that they "all" are sincere.God bless the ones who see black people as humans .We are all of "one race" and, that is the " human race* Officers, please stay safe.
My dear sister i dont know why we humand cannot or are incapable of calling things for what they are if brown chicken and white chicken and black chicken Are all chicken why font we see a white men a blackmen a brown men Are all human beings we were all created by god almighty just the way we are
These officers should be the role models for every other police department in the country!! I wish I could have gone back to the 1600's and stopped the British soldiers from bringing the African Americans to the U.S. and sold as slaves!! If the roles were reversed, I would be asking for the same exact thing... equality. Please know that not every Caucasian person is racist, myself included. I have more black friends than white. Maybe bcuz I'm Italian and all my boyz say that Italians are black people on the inside with lighter skin. Lol. Maybe if we bring prayer and God back into our society, things will change.
I would say give them the benefit of the doubt man they are copsyou're not perfect none of us are they all wear the shield man I was once in that predicament where I wash you know I never got any of this problem but I know it's likely wear black and blue and we're shield so give them the benefit of the doubtnow this is the time that everybody has to come together to make it work and clean that mistake up and make it right for the better world for all of us to live thank you
THANK YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS SO WE WILL ALL BE WATCHING TO SEE THAT YOUR ACTIONS FOLLOW YOUR WORDS !! IN GOD WE TRUST !!
That first sentence got to me right away....a “passing away” is what you call a natural death, not the way George was brutalized until he could no longer breathe. By the very ones who’re SUPPOSED to serve & protect
I understand your pain and anger. I feel it too. However, they are speaking from a place of sincerity. They could have said nothing, but instead chose to step up and speak out. That's very powerful!!! We have to remember that every officer would not have done what those four did to George Floyd. Don't get caught up in his choice of words. It's hard for many of us to find the right words to say after seeing something so evil occur. Know that his heart is on the right side of justice. May the God of Heaven bless you!!! I pray that He heals your hurt.
If the police was this sincere and did their work we wouldn't have issues. This is a ploy, it's a diversion lol. These muppets are the puppets of the puppeteers. This is just a setup. No man should be killed in the way George was killed. That aside, it seems George was known to the cop Chauvin. He was also an actor. This is a diversion whilst we are running one way the "elite" are planning our future into the New World!
it's probably just 1/4th, since they do shift work, the other shift would have ended a 12 hour shift probably hours ago and barely has time to get home, showers, sleep, get food ready, get uniform ready, and get back to work to do it again. These are people that have to respond to high steaks emergencies, and you literally cant take everyone off the road, because crime doesnt stop for a cute little video
Because its all a puppet show. Don't believe their LIES! They must obey the rich elites, and they will change back to their old ways as soon as things go back to normal. Proven 100% of the times this has already happened. Don't get fooled again.
Yeah but then they bring in the dog then the dog gives a false alert about 50 percent of the time and they search your car anyway you can't win unless you have a camera rolling on the officer then your still at their mercy. If there is one cop there that is all pumped up on ego, then shit hits the fan and guess what ain't nobody believing you,so it's your word against 4 , 5 ,6 cops who's going to win this battle ( physically or judiciously) in other words who you think they gonna believe. Your screwed but guess what that's what they call justice
I started over 35 years ago. During 90% of the time I felt exactly how the black female officer felt. Caught in the middle with a community that didn’t always embrace police officers while trying to maintain my black identity in a white dominated agency which had a few racist cops in key positions. I often felt over looked by the black community and my talents untapped by the department unless it was solely to benefit department heads. However if we don’t get more black community members to join agencies change will be un impactful.
That was Noble of the Alexandria police department. I appreciate everything that the Alexandria police department has done for me and the community, thanks for serving and protecting us
Have you felt the pain of the oppressed. See how quick you would have screamed calling for a lawyer to your aid because you belong to the privileged lot.
I'm also arab/Asian I know what racism feels like. I understand why these protests are happening, blacks were also promised 40 acres and a mule and never got it only more oppression. It's Bullshit, They helped build the country.
Mark Myword come on why do you always gotta look for the negative. Why can’t you just believe these cops are actually good cops. No one says there isn’t bad cops, you can’t judge all cops from a bunch of bad apples. Grow up
Mark Myword no they become bad cops when they racially profile victims.....when they use their Badge to enforce there own personal hatred towards other humans....good Cops do there job! Which is Protect and Serve!
Everyone in this video as a whole are very candid and true heroes in my eyes, this community is where I want to leave with my family because I can tell from the chief's down to regular officers they all are very good individuals who may have many differences but, know how to do their jobs without conflicting they're personal feelings into the profession.
@@aprilmay1061 what's wrong with my agenda of exposing lip service? You dont think Black people have heard lions service from white authority figures before?

Thanks for doing this officers! It is good to hear and know that there are good cops out here!

We must all have mutual respect for each other when both the citizens and police officers interact with one another. Respect is earned, not demanded. The good cops should be able to weed out the bad cops without fear of retaliation. And maybe, just maybe, the public will begins to restore the faith and trust on those that are supposed to be there to serve and protect.
@@elvinexell I don't have all the answers, but as long as we have hope and adhere to our faith, goodness will triumph over evil. Together, we must all contribute our grain of sand and be a part of the solution and not part of the problem. We must all stand up against racism, injustice, and inequality. Only then, we can begin to heal this nation.
What else can you say, when you get cough on video. Tomorrow you forgot and you kill again. I say there should be a law, where if you forget to turn you chest camara on and you kill you should be charge with murder.

I come from Alexandria in Scotland, my brother in law is a retired policeman & a good and decent man so I am well aware that the police are a force for good and that any institution has bad apples. I worked for many years in Washington DC, loved my time in America & loved the American people. I am so pleased to hear you Officers standing up for the ethics you signed up to, I applaud you all, God bless you and keep you safe. I don't like to be political and would normally avoid being so but..... I am sorry, Donald Trump is making America the laughing stock of the world. For your sake and for the sake of all of us, please vote this man out in November. Take care.....your post was a wonderful testament to morals and common decency. X
These words meant nothing if "will do better" kind of jive are not put to practice as shown in many press recordings that shows police brutality continues unchecked even as you all speak now.
I felt this way until I found out that 2 of them were still in training and he was their training officer and they asked twice if they could turn him over so he could breathe better. And one of them ran to the ambulance to administer CPR to Mr. George while the medics set up their IVs.
I thank them for their courage for speaking up on wrong is wrong !" and to be law abiding officers. My prayer for America Know Jesus,Know Peace and Receive Justice, No Jesus,No Peace and we will never receive Justice. My President 4life is Jesus 2020 and beyond - Romans 10 : 9

It is what it is and as Black men and women we are viewed differently so that distinction have to be made because you can take off a uniform and no one would know that you were a police officer but you can not take off your beautiful Black skin. I want you to see me for who and what I am but I also want you to Respect me for who I am and that I'm different. Educate yourself.
That was BIG... someone please send this to the White House
Please don't destroy our city that's all I hear.
Proud to know my father “last call sign off retired” was once part of this department
Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge and address such a serious and profound act and time in police and American history. We write the stories that our children's children will one day read. The Alexandria Police Department's story will be one of healing. God speed
As an APD retiree this video shows the continued commitment we have to the community. I don’t know a single officer, active or retired, that saw Mr. Floyd’s death as anything other than a horrible murder.
If APD could write the book that other agencies had to follow, that would be something. It's unfortunate that many lack the will to change their ingrained department culture, and even those that do might not be able to afford it due to inadequate funding.
These aren't the days of the late 60's & early 70's where Native Americans & people of color were randomly shot/killed being hunted down for sport & fun with no retribution. Actions like these are taught, teach peace ✌as children and they'll follow, but if teach hate, bully, and haze and this is the outcome.
@Unknown Soldier it changes now. Now it changes. The people are crying for change. I think the voice of the people will be heard
@Dodge Ram there was one that knock him down. There was another that wanted to help and another officer pushed him on. This is the problem right here. For so long if 1 messed up or used unnecessary force. The other cops turn a blind eye. That has to end
@@hawkmn7277 I’m calling you out for your BS lies here. I was a working cop in the ‘60s and we DID NOT hunt ANYONE down & shoot them for sport. You sound like another keyboard commando hiding behind the safety provided by the working cops & members of the military that willingly go in harm’s way. It’s pretty easy to throw rocks from the cheap seats when you’re a sniveling coward!
These are the types of cops i remember growing up. My dad was a cop and he felt the same way . ALL COPS ARE NOT BAD
I dated a cop for many years and I have cousins that are in the police force and they are amazing at what they do. But when you say that not all police are bad please also remember that not all black men & women are threats either.
Sam Antoine agreed i had some friends from high school that were black and we had a good relationship
May the most high richest blessings be upon all the good cops that out there genuinely serving and protect.
"To the politicians and leaders, ask yourselves...are you just filling spaces and occupying places?..."
And Pocketing Salaries they haven't Earned...Claiming Expenses Fraudulently etc etc
Thank God where I live we don't have problems with the police where I live. Plus the county I live in is mixed. Maybe cause it not big like New York or California. I don't know. But we get along with cops in this city. We respect them and they respect back
Just getting free money. No public servant should become a millionaire through their job.
The words are deep. Thank you officers.
🙌
Alexandria Police Department I am very PROUD of you!! Thank you!!
GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR GOOD OFFICERS OUT THERE IN THE FRONT LINES OF OUR SOCIETY. I HAVE SEVERAL FAMILY MEMBERS SERVING. THEY ARE GOING THRU THEIR OWN STRUGGLE. EVERY MAN SHALL BOW & BE JUDGED BY THE ALMIGHTY KING.
This sounds good. I pray that they "all" are sincere.God bless the ones who see black people as humans .We are all of "one race" and, that is the " human race* Officers, please stay safe.
in these time we should stand as one and as a mob
My dear sister i dont know why we humand cannot or are incapable of calling things for what they are if brown chicken and white chicken and black chicken
Are all chicken why font we see a white men a blackmen a brown men
Are all human beings we were all created by god almighty just the way we are
Thanks for you positive comment.
May God bless you
Human Race! Human Race! Human Race! We are one race, Human Race!
These officers should be the role models for every other police department in the country!! I wish I could have gone back to the 1600's and stopped the British soldiers from bringing the African Americans to the U.S. and sold as slaves!! If the roles were reversed, I would be asking for the same exact thing... equality. Please know that not every Caucasian person is racist, myself included. I have more black friends than white. Maybe bcuz I'm Italian and all my boyz say that Italians are black people on the inside with lighter skin. Lol. Maybe if we bring prayer and God back into our society, things will change.
Killing a person remains a crime no matter what race they belong to.
I would say give them the benefit of the doubt man they are copsyou're not perfect none of us are they all wear the shield man I was once in that predicament where I wash you know I never got any of this problem but I know it's likely wear black and blue and we're shield so give them the benefit of the doubtnow this is the time that everybody has to come together to make it work and clean that mistake up and make it right for the better world for all of us to live thank you
Give that officer 150 years in prison for killing George Floyd.
THANK YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS SO WE WILL ALL BE WATCHING TO SEE THAT YOUR ACTIONS FOLLOW YOUR WORDS !! IN GOD WE TRUST !!
Amen sister well said. The world is watching
Yeah maybe if there was something put into action. All you were hearing there was a bunch of words.
Amen
I love your comment! We are watching them like never before!
Well spoken....
Thank you so much Alexandria police officers for speaking the truth. You guys are being human. I feel better watching this video.
Facts
"The truth? You can't handle the truth".
Punish the dirty cops who abuse their power
Thank you!
As a former Alexandria resident, I appreciate this display of empathy, compassion, responsibility and accountability.
I commend each and everyone of these officers. God bless them all!
For what... what exactly did they do besides give lip service?
@@arrellehnisrael8229 They most likely didn't kill a United States Citizen just for the heck of it that's a start.
Crap
@@arrellehnisrael8229 👈🏼 Agenda troll. Coming in every section to spew his hate. 👀👀👀👀
@@devinesent7696 You mean while they sit and watch Black unarmed men die with impunity and say nothing for how many years???
This restores alot of faith. Who said words don't matter?
Here's some of the words that matter.
"Halt! Freeze! Let's see your hands!"
Thank you for speaking out on injustice, and thank you for calling the incident what it is MURDER! You all have restored a little hope.
We are one, we must come together to show why the people can overthrow a corrupt government
@pete b no. But it's a start for future generations
if cops arent in the front line to to overthrow the corrupt then how can a common citizen whos not even aware of their rights.....
And long overdue
That first sentence got to me right away....a “passing away” is what you call a natural death, not the way George was brutalized until he could no longer breathe. By the very ones who’re SUPPOSED to serve & protect
I understand your pain and anger. I feel it too. However, they are speaking from a place of sincerity. They could have said nothing, but instead chose to step up and speak out. That's very powerful!!! We have to remember that every officer would not have done what those four did to George Floyd. Don't get caught up in his choice of words. It's hard for many of us to find the right words to say after seeing something so evil occur. Know that his heart is on the right side of justice. May the God of Heaven bless you!!! I pray that He heals your hurt.
I noticed that too. He didn’t pass away he was murdered period
WE LOVE AND NEED GOOD POLICEMEN
These testimonials are so important; thank you, Alexandria Police Department 💗
Well said
@Nobody here but us Chaotic Neutral chickens the fuck is wrong with you dude?
they are truly sincere. read my comment. stay blessed.
Lies , hanging is the punishment for treason by sedition every day police commit this hangable offense
There are lots of good cops, here are just few of them trying hard to de-escalate the heated emotions. Thanks you for all your service. Salute.
Every righteous police department should be doing this.
I absolutely RESPECT these officers!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Sounds like a cop salad tosser.
Thank you for what exactly?
Thank you for trying To break the blue wall of silence and speaking your mind it takes a lot of courage to apologize. I respect that
If the police was this sincere and did their work we wouldn't have issues. This is a ploy, it's a diversion lol.
These muppets are the puppets of the puppeteers.
This is just a setup. No man should be killed in the way George was killed. That aside, it seems George was known to the cop Chauvin. He was also an actor.
This is a diversion whilst we are running one way the "elite" are planning our future into the New World!
@@aquaholicsuk8873 to me and everybody else on this room the privilege of you shutting up!
@ 04:41 So emotional,
We all pray to be equal
Many thanks Alexandria Officers
Yes, she had me in FULL BLOWN TEARS after her speech.
@@November8th Me too she touch me deeply 🙁
Is this the whole department? Did anyone not want to participate? Asking for a friend. I respect these officers for doing this
it's probably just 1/4th, since they do shift work, the other shift would have ended a 12 hour shift probably hours ago and barely has time to get home, showers, sleep, get food ready, get uniform ready, and get back to work to do it again. These are people that have to respond to high steaks emergencies, and you literally cant take everyone off the road, because crime doesnt stop for a cute little video
Just a small number feel this way, you can tell a few on this vid are being forced.
I guess the rest is working.
Every attempt is a good attempt and I salute those who are willing to do they part. God bless us all.
God , knows we need it !
Decent people, decent leadership, compassion, America this is who we are.
Needs a NEW police reforms for better serving the public in the future.
When there is no accountability, then it's not gonna happen.
Fact !
Why can’t Trump and his cronies come out with a statement like this?
Because they ate the priblem accepting that will make them traitors to his beliefs!
He thinks he will keep his votes if he keeps in his sick ways.
Because its all a puppet show. Don't believe their LIES! They must obey the rich elites, and they will change back to their old ways as soon as things go back to normal. Proven 100% of the times this has already happened. Don't get fooled again.
True
This has touched my heart, may GOD see you through this moment. GOD BLESS you.
My respect for the officers who removed their mask to do their speech.
LOL they deserve a medal?
@@joea2r maybe just a gold star sticker?
What difference does make having your mask on? They know they are part of the corrupt police system.They are probably forced into the speech?
Really did not expect this Thank you guys well said
Thank you
Agreed
Wake up
Liars ...every cop in this country should be hung for TREASON by SEDITION ...or jailed in PRISON for violating their oaths to the Constitution
Liars ...every cop in this country should be hung for TREASON by SEDITION ...or jailed in PRISON for violating their oaths to the Constitution
Cop: Can I search your car?
Me: No.
Cop: I smell weed.
Me: Awesome! Still not searching my car.
Yeah but then they bring in the dog then the dog gives a false alert about 50 percent of the time and they search your car anyway you can't win unless you have a camera rolling on the officer then your still at their mercy. If there is one cop there that is all pumped up on ego, then shit hits the fan and guess what ain't nobody believing you,so it's your word against 4 , 5 ,6 cops who's going to win this battle ( physically or judiciously) in other words who you think they gonna believe. Your screwed but guess what that's what they call justice
Bro thats they number one reason to pull somebody over
I started over 35 years ago. During 90% of the time I felt exactly how the black female officer felt. Caught in the middle with a community that didn’t always embrace police officers while trying to maintain my black identity in a white dominated agency which had a few racist cops in key positions. I often felt over looked by the black community and my talents untapped by the department unless it was solely to benefit department heads. However if we don’t get more black community members to join agencies change will be un impactful.
Respect to you 💯
All police departments across the country should do this.
That was Noble of the Alexandria police department. I appreciate everything that the Alexandria police department has done for me and the community, thanks for serving and protecting us
The 'good' cops NEED TO STOP THEIR SILENCE AND SPEAK OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL...OR RESIGN!!!!
The problem is that cops get away with murder even when they murder other cops, so they are terrified of other cops too.
My respect for these guys who stood here to voice out their feelings. Hats off to y'all. God bless💕
NOT ALL POLICE ARE CORRUPT OR BAD. GIVE THESE PEOPLE A BREAK.
Have you felt the pain of the oppressed. See how quick you would have screamed calling for a lawyer to your aid because you belong to the privileged lot.
No
I'm also arab/Asian I know what racism feels like. I understand why these protests are happening, blacks were also promised 40 acres and a mule and never got it only more oppression. It's Bullshit, They helped build the country.
I'M SPEECHLESS!!! THIS WAS SO NEEDED..THANK YOU, THANK YOU😢😢😢😢😢😢
Good job guys for doing this , I do believe there are good cops out there. God bless you guys.
Mark Myword come on why do you always gotta look for the negative. Why can’t you just believe these cops are actually good cops. No one says there isn’t bad cops, you can’t judge all cops from a bunch of bad apples. Grow up
Mark Myword no they become bad cops when they racially profile victims.....when they use their Badge to enforce there own personal hatred towards other humans....good Cops do there job! Which is Protect and Serve!
@Mark Myword Can you tell us WHAT PART of the videos in all vantage points WAS HE RESISTING AND NON COMPLIANT? nvm, this will be a moot point! Smdh
He the police officer who knee on Floyd's neck and all the other police's there they must all charge teach them a good lesson
Everyone in this video as a whole are very candid and true heroes in my eyes, this community is where I want to leave with my family because I can tell from the chief's down to regular officers they all are very good individuals who may have many differences but, know how to do their jobs without conflicting they're personal feelings into the profession.
How... because of lip service???
@@arrellehnisrael8229 Oh, stop trolling every comment section with your agenda. Trying to stir 💩 up.
@@aprilmay1061 what's wrong with my agenda of exposing lip service? You dont think Black people have heard lions service from white authority figures before?
How can you accuse me over stirring things up... dont I have a right to be angry and fed up with bs lip service from people who never show respectful actions?
Thanks for your bitter reply though because it justifies my concerns about lio service. I dont trust lio service.
@@arrellehnisrael8229 agreed

His words hit ever subject connected to the problems we face in America today.
He sure did 🙌
It makes me emotional to hope that these officers really stand with us this way
Officer Warren...Thank You. People should be ashamed of themselves. Leaving a lady in tears because of ignorance, hatred, and complete disrespect of others. Good officers are out there, just listened to a group of them.
Good to see that cops can be reasoned with. Hello from Australia.
Smoke and mirrors. They owe victims of past mor than 1.5 quadrillion. No mention of repair
There are good cops out there, we just gotta weed out the bad ones. Oh and hello from America
And your assessment is based on what... lip service?
LOL keep your comments in Australia.
Thank you all for coming out to speak. God bless you all richly
FOX news, MSNBC and CNN won't show this.

FACTS!!!!
Its just lip service... why show it???
Kayjay Kayjay y that officer 👮♀️ covered his eyes 👀 with those dark glasses and he has the american flag 🇺🇸 on. He doesn’t want to be identified
Arrell Ehn Israel lip service
That was deep stay safe please continue to do a great job
THIS POLICE DEP. DESERVE MY RESPECT AND IF SOME DAY I CAN PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR ONE OF THIS OFFICERS ,I WILL DO IT WITHOUT HESITATION IN A SPLIT SECOND .THANK YOU
Not only for George floyd but other black Africans.
yup all of them everyone who got killed unjustly
African americans , mexicans and every other individual that lost their lives for a happy trigger officer ... u.u
Hey what about white guys this is many white guys are killed by police as black guy as Mexicans I don't think you should kill anybody
I'm a 55 year old male today I can remember when I was a kid 9 and 10 years old I would love to see the police is coming 2 ourproject I us run up to the cars listen and talked to them hear the sirens rings and stuff like that appreciate y'all and God bless America
Ditto. read my comment.
riiiiggghhht!
We need police that believe Black lives are as important as others. Thank you for striving to be that force. Thank you for honesty and sincerity.
The future is bright if we now understand that our skin color is not the enemy!
I’m a brother. I salute to the officers that took the time to make this video and speak out. 🙏
Thanks for doing this officers! It is good to hear and know that there are good cops out here! It's heart braking that this has to happen I watched the video tonight of what happened and my heart just broke and my God for someone to do that to another human being blows my mind and it's truly heart braking and to her him call out to his mom😢
I appreciate your sharing your most personal feelings. God bless you.
It's so heart 💔 to see our black men being killed..I am a mother, grandmother, am so deeply hurt for Floyd family & others killed so unjustly...we must value life of all human races...as a black mid age woman...please stop hurting our families & children..our babies be need their fathers...God be is coming not pleased with how be we are treated in the US...stop the madness😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are still men and women who wear the badge with honor and integrity. I would like to believe they are the rule, not the exception.
This is definitely a Start. Justice for all the people that lost loved ones to the Hands of Hostile;Biased amd Corrupt Police Officers. Thank You
Bravo to the police officers of Alexandria, Virginia!!!!!!!!!
We must all have mutual respect for each other when both the citizens and police officers interact with one another. Respect is earned, not demanded. The good cops should be able to weed out the bad cops without fear of retaliation. And maybe, just maybe, the public will begins to restore the faith and trust on those that are supposed to be there to serve and protect.
And how does that happen ? It's so broken it can't be fixed !
@@elvinexell I don't have all the answers, but as long as we have hope and adhere to our faith, goodness will triumph over evil. Together, we must all contribute our grain of sand and be a part of the solution and not part of the problem. We must all stand up against racism, injustice, and inequality. Only then, we can begin to heal this nation.
What else can you say, when you get cough on video. Tomorrow you forgot and you kill again. I say there should be a law, where if you forget to turn you chest camara on and you kill you should be charge with murder.
I hope they stay true to their words
read my comment. stay blessed.
Agreed
JUST A SHOW TO KEEP RIOTS DOWN
jake 16 I swear that's what I felt and thought watching this video. I didn't want to say anything because all the comments are so grateful for this video that I didn't want to add negativity. Besides the chick that cried everyone else seemed fake and not genuine. They are not only trying to get protesting to stop they are trying to save their own asses and their jobs mainly
WE NEED YOU OFFICERS
Im from Houston Tx...and i love and appreciate this message that y'all put out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Im happy to know there ARE still good officers out there. I pray for y'all and for all the good officers that that stand up for what's right. Love yall, God keep you and your families safe....#HoustonTxstrong
#HoustonTxSTANDSWITHVIRGINIA
I come from Alexandria in Scotland, my brother in law is a retired policeman & a good and decent man so I am well aware that the police are a force for good and that any institution has bad apples.
I worked for many years in Washington DC, loved my time in America & loved the American people.
I am so pleased to hear you Officers standing up for the ethics you signed up to, I applaud you all, God bless you and keep you safe.
I don't like to be political and would normally avoid being so but..... I am sorry, Donald Trump is making America the laughing stock of the world. For your sake and for the sake of all of us, please vote this man out in November.
Take care.....your post was a wonderful testament to morals and common decency. X
True professionals! The way police officers should take their jobs to their heart and professionalism.
Looooool naive much.....
It's really sad when it gots to the point when good cops have to redeem themselves from what a handful of bad cops has done.
This is how the human race should re-act to the wrong doing! I highly Respect this officers and the many more like them!!
Every police officer needs to respect and nicer to the people that y’all protect.
@understanding nonsense until the system changes, and police support it, all cops are bastards. Talk is cheap.
Thank you Captain for taking your face masks off it means a lot when you identify yourself and not hiding behind the mask speaking out thank you
We need this kind of compassion and proactive nature of acknowledging the problem, in EVERY city and state. This was touching.
Very impressive and appreciative. You're setting the standards. Thank you.
LOL setting a standard by talking?
I'm Latino and you are great.
God bless all of you.
The other officers who "stood by" are just as guilty.
These words meant nothing if "will do better" kind of jive are not put to practice as shown in many press recordings that shows police brutality continues unchecked even as you all speak now.
I felt this way until I found out that 2 of them were still in training and he was their training officer and they asked twice if they could turn him over so he could breathe better.
And one of them ran to the ambulance to administer CPR to Mr. George while the medics set up their IVs.
Hope other police departments take a cue from this example... Well done chief, I salute you and your colleagues.
I'm proud to have been one of you. I grieve with you. (1978-1984)
Thank you Ron
Glad to see "final call" over "end of watch" Thank you for your service with APD
I thank them for their courage for speaking up on wrong is wrong !" and to be law abiding officers. My prayer for America Know Jesus,Know Peace and Receive Justice, No Jesus,No Peace and we will never receive Justice. My President 4life is Jesus 2020 and beyond - Romans 10 : 9
Now you said it right! Jesus means peace! No Jesus, No peace!🙏🏾
no offense, but I don't think Romans 10:9 says: My president 4life is Jesus 2020 and beyond.
