Actor Johnny Galecki shares a powerful message about George Floyd’s death in his social media profiles.
‘The Big Bang Theory’ star spoke out over George Floyd’s death, the murder charges against the police officer who kneeled on Floyd’s neck during his arrest and the three other officers who have yet to be arrested for their involvement.
Here’s what he said – “Last night in Kentucky, a line of white protestors formed a human barrier between black protestors and the police so that their presence in numbers could be felt and all their voices could safely be heard. So sad that this was necessary, but such a loving and strong action. THIS is how you use your White privilege. “‘I see no color’ is not the goal. ‘I see your color and honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. You are beautiful. Tell me how to do better.’ That is the goal.” – Carlos A. Rodriguez. Please, please all be safe out there. Very much love to every single one of you.”
On May 22, Derek Chauvin was charged with 3rd-degree murder and manslaughter over Floyd’s death. The former Minneapolis police officer was taken into custody that morning, however the three other officers involved in Floyd’s murder, have only been fired from the police department and have yet to face any charges.
On May 25, footage obtained by bystanders showed Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground and kneeling on his neck as Floyd pleaded, “I can’t breathe.” He died moments later.
While many stars have spoken out —some have also taken to the streets to protest.
