May I Ask?
Bruce Lawson
What, may I ask, were officer Chauvin’s thoughts as he
pressed his knee on George Floyd’s neck?
When he looked down at the man’s dark skin
When others pleaded for him to stop
When asked by two he trained if they should roll him over
When he looked down at the man’s dark skin
When he heard George plead he couldn’t breathe
When asked by two he trained if they should roll him over
When everyone heard him call out to his mother
When he heard George plead he couldn’t breathe
When a young woman recorded the scene, he threatened
When everyone heard him call out to his mother
When witnesses stood in silence, shocked
When ambulance sirens whaled in the distance
When others pleaded for him to stop
When no movement evident after eight minutes forty six
seconds
What, may I ask, were officer Chauvin’s thoughts as he
pressed his knee on George Floyd’s neck?
