For eight minutes and forty two seconds, the world watched as Minneapolis ex-cop Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd’s neck, squeezing the life out of him. But for a Trump supporter, those eight minutes and forty two seconds weren’t enough.
During Trump supporters’ ‘Million MAGA March’ in Washington D.C. on Saturday, journalist Chuck Modi spoke to one Trump supporter who said Floyd was not behaving himself and so he deserved what he got.

“If he had tried to behave from the get go and not pass false money, he’d still be alive today,” Donald Trump’s supporter said. “It can’t be that hard to behave. Obey the law and you will be alive. Its not that hard. Behave and stay alive.”
Asked if he was ok with Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and forty two seconds, the man said: “Should have been fucking longer. They should have done it longer. Do you need more? They should have done it longer.”
