While many people have expressed outrage over the death of George Floyd caused by former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin, one man is going viral for a racist comment he posted on Facebook about the tragedy saying that it was “glorious to watch.”
Early Tuesday morning (May 26), footage surfaced showing Floyd being apprehended by Minneapolis police officers outside a deli for suspected forgery.
In the nearly 10-minute video, Chauvin can be seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck at the side of a squad car while his partner, Tou Thao, stands watch against outraged bystanders.
Floyd can be heard groaning and repeatedly telling the officers he couldn’t breathe. The man eventually appears motionless under Chauvin’s knee as bystanders exclaim that Chauvin killed him.
An apparently lifeless Floyd was then loaded onto a stretcher, placed into an ambulance and then transported to the hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead.
Commenting on an article about the fatal incident, a white man named Sean Baker Sr. wrote: “Awesome, one less piece of sh** in the world. Hope it didn’t breed. It was glorious to watch.”
