He had written on his new Instagram account on Thursday:
“ As the most of American people, our worldwide community and our prolonged family of humans helplessly viewed a man die on television… I too, was subjected to the atrocity of blatant barbarism, ruthless cruelty plus unmitigated lack of humanity. The handcuffed man, pleading just for his life lay vulnerable with the full weight of the man sworn to defend the particular peace on his neck. The particular victim of this heinous react of cowardice, George Floyd, told the officers which he could not breathe. As he required his dead mother, just how could our collective minds not break as their face was ground plus mashed firmly into the sidewalk by those sworn to shield him, and all of us? Proper rights, I desperately hope, may address the horror associated with Officer Chauvin ’ s nonchalance and indifference to their participation in the agony, struggling and ultimately the killing of our fellow traveler George Floyd in a grotesque illustration from the abuse of power!!! ”

“ There is no way to make sense associated with what is senseless. There is no way to recover a life that has been used. Just as there is no way to un-break cardiovascular that is broken. ”
