Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday George Floyd, the African American man who died following a violent arrest in Minnesota, was "murdered" at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department.

"We saw it on TV — him being murdered on TV," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.

Pelosi stopped short of calling for the arresting officers to be charged with murder, advocating for the various investigations into Floyd's death to run their course. But she strongly suggested the officers should be held criminally accountable.

"Let's take our lead from them in terms of how these things are sequenced," Pelosi said. "But we did see a murder on TV. And it wasn't self-defense."

Appearing on CNN a short time later, she was even more blunt, calling Floyd's death "an execution."

"We saw it, so we can't deny it or qualify it." - Nancy Pelosi

3. Worse, even worse, George Floyd was tortured to death, calling for mercy, calling for his

mother.

4. Where are the 4 officers - hiding in their homes?

It wouldn't take much for an angry mob to give them some home-made justice. TBH they'd be safer in jail.
