From Wikipedia:
Floyd says: "I'm about to die."
The police ask Floyd: "What do you want?"
Floyd repeats: "I can't breathe."
Floyd continues: "Please, the knee in my neck, I can't breathe."
The policemen taunt a trapped Floyd to "get up and get in the car", to which Floyd replies: "I will ... I can't move."
Floyd also cries out: "Mama!"
Floyd protests: "My stomach hurts, my neck hurts, everything hurts", and requested water. The police do not audibly respond to Floyd.
Floyd begs: "Don't kill me."
A female bystander points out that Floyd is bleeding from the nose.
Another bystander tells the police that Floyd is "not even resisting arrest right now."
The male bystander protests: "He's not resisting arrest or nothing. You're enjoying it. Look at you. Your body language."
Floyd goes silent and motionless, but Officer Chauvin does not lift his knee from Floyd's neck.
The bystanders protest that Floyd was "not responsive", and asked the police to check Floyd's pulse.
A bystander questions: "did they fucking kill him?"
Officer Chauvin does not remove his knee until emergency medical services arrives and puts Floyd on a stretcher.
Chauvin had knelt on Floyd's neck for over seven minutes, including around four minutes after Floyd stopped moving.
- I often wonder how close the States is to teeter-tottering into all-out Civil War.Nairn
- Which is why, I guess, Russia was so keen to get Trump into position.Nairn
- closer than ever i'd say. So much hatred on either side, so far apart on everything. No unity on anything really. Just dumb fucking people, pawns of Putin._niko
- Is/was there another nation this polarized that didn't break out in civil war? Yugoslavia broke up over a lot less._niko
- Trumpers are praying for another Ferguson. They've become so emboldened. It won't end well._niko
- Covid lockdown poisoned USA, people seem 2 B fighting and killing more, ugh. https://bit.ly/2BaQX…robotron3k
- lol! you assholes have been killing each other for no reason at all for a long long time now.scruffics
- I don't believe the polarization hype. It's only loud people who are polarized. Most people don't even vote. We're not about to start a civil war.nb
- this is so upsetting.sarahfailin
- There's no chance of civil war because there's nothing to fight over.monospaced
- I don't think we've been further from a civil war since the civil war. There aren't two sides, to view points, or two groups willing to fight.monospaced
- Seriously though, this is worthy of a murder charge. So intense.nb
- Yes. This is murder.monospaced

Microsoft's robot editor confuses mixed-race Little Mix singers
Microsoft’s decision to replace human journalists with robots has backfired, after the tech company’s artificial intelligence software illustrated a news story about racism with a photo of the wrong mixed-race member of the band Little Mix.
A week after the Guardian revealed plans to fire the human editors who run MSN.com and replace them with Microsoft’s artificial intelligence code, an early rollout of the software resulted in a story about the singer Jade Thirlwall’s personal reflections on racism being illustrated with a picture of her fellow band member Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Thirlwall, who attended a recent Black Lives Matter protest in London, criticised MSN on Friday, saying she was sick of “ignorant” media making such mistakes. She posted on Instagram: “@MSN If you’re going to copy and paste articles from other accurate media outlets, you might want to make sure you’re using an image of the correct mixed race member of the group.”
“This shit happens to @leighannepinnock and I ALL THE TIME that it’s become a running joke,” she said. “It offends me that you couldn’t differentiate the two women of colour out of four members of a group ... DO BETTER!”
What Thirlwall could not have known, according to sources at the company, is that the image was selected by Microsoft’s artificial intelligence software, which is already responsible for editing parts of the news site, which attracts hundreds of millions of readers worldwide.
