Rihanna has also joined her fellow A-listers Drake, Ice Cube and Beyoncé in lashing out against the police brutality that plagues both the United States and the African Americans who call it home.
“For the last few days, the magnitude of devastation, anger, sadness I’ve felt has been overwhelming to say the least!” she exclaimed to her 83 million Instagram followers. “Watching my people get murdered and lynched day after day pushed me to a heavy place in my heart! To the point of staying away from socials, just to avoid hearing the blood curdling agony in George Floyd’s voice again, begging over and over for his life!!! The look of enticement, the pure joy and climax on the face of this bigot, murderer, thug, pig, bum, Derek Chauvin, haunts me!! I can’t shake this! I can’t get over an ambulance pulling up to an arrest, a paramedic checking a pulse without removing the very thing that’s hindering it! Is this that fucking normal??? If intentional MURDER is the fit consequence for “drugs” or “resisting arrest”….then what’s the fit consequence for MURDER???!
The megastar concluded the passionate post by including the hashtags of very recent police brutality victims, #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery and #BreonnaTaylor
Luckily for Riri, and the rest of the community, Chauvin was arrested on third-degree murder charges on Friday (May 29). However, that wasn’t enough to quell the nationwide’s thirst for vengeance, as protests mutated into riots in major cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Columbus, OH, Denver, Dallas and naturally, Minneapolis.
Hip Hop Demands Justice For George Floyd As Nationwide Riots Erupt
Louisville, KY was also the staging ground for fevered protests as citizens denounced the death of Floyd, and their own Taylor, who was shot dead in her own home by three plainclothes officers who reportedly failed to identify themselves as they burst through the home shooting on a “no-knock warrant.”
Protestors have been calling for the arrests of Louisville officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove as well as Chauvin’s fellow MPD officers, Tou Thao, J Alexander Kueng, Thomas K. Lane for their compliance in the death of Floyd.

Rihanna has been making large donations during the coronavirus pandemic, recently donating $5 million from her Clara Lionel Foundation to relief efforts.
Emotionally erratic. Don’t speak for anybody else when you can’t even control your own emotions. Its pathetic.
Demands answers? Tbe cop was arrested for murder? What else do u want? Nobody gives a eats ass about the constant black on black murder, or black on white crime. Black on white crime is over 4x the amount of white on black crime, while the white population is 4x the size. Meaning, a black person is over 10x more likely to attack a white, than a white is to attack a black
Show us where you got those Donald Trump statistics!
Anything to be an apologist for black racism while condemning all whites for being racists right?
First off, u can’t share links here. Second, it’s public domain. Anyone with a brain can pull them up. Do a 15 second Google search for American crime stays by race and demographic. Extremely simply to find (maybe not for you. I’m sorry, I forgot you are learning handicapped). The crime stats I mentioned are not misleading or dishonest. I mean, fuck, you ever been to an American ghetto? What do you see? A bunch of good guys, not doing bad things? Shit, you got drug dealers selling to undercovers on street corners, fights daily, daily robberies, ect. TONS of murders. What do u expect? That suburbs are like that too? No, not at all.
It’s called the FBI crime database. Over 50% of the murders commutes in the US is by black men. 13% of the population. They also are 60% of the population of prisoners in the US. 250 black men were killed by police in the entire US last year. 450 were killed by other black men in Chicago alone last year. All facts. Look them up.
4 times bigger? its more like 6
i wna jizz on her face and tell her to shut up no wonder she got beaten up like a dog by c brown
1. Ahmaud wasn’t killed by active duty police. He was killed by a retired law enforcement red neck and his son. They were both charged with murder. Everyone involved in covering it up was fired and/or is facing charges. 2. Police served a legal “no knock” warrant on Breonna’s home. Breonnas boyfriend shot a cop and they opened fire. This was all filmed. The cops were acquitted and are back on duty. 3. The cop who killed Floyd is in jail for murder and manslaughter. The other 3-4 cops will be charged and thrown in jail. DOES THIS BITCH LIVW ON THE SOACE STATION? All of this happened days/weeks and months ago. SMH. Keep pushing disenfranchised youth into committing crimes and ending up in prison, when after the election all of this will disappear like it did last time Trump got elected. SMH
So it’s not OK for white people to kill black people, it’s not OK for the police to kill black people. It is OK for other black people to kill black people at a rate that’s hundreds of times higher than white people or police officers killing them. There are no protests for that, and all these celebrity black folk who become millionaires or sometimes billionaires in a country that’s all systematically racist don’t have anything to say about any of that. Kind of strange Ha?
There are more murders in Chicago a year then there are due to mass shootings in the US during the exact same timeframe. Is it OK for all of the people of Illinois to protest against black people because of that? How about for them to start setting fires to businesses and cars? Thanks. Now we’re guaranteed another four years of Trump, and if you’re not down with that, you ain’t black! LOL
Hey! You can’t point that out. Numbers are racist and you will get called one too. If you do you’re just a dodgy racist, but Jump Off Joe Biden is not….lol. For how much some of y’all say you hate white people especially old rich ones who make racist statements like that. You sure are quick to vote for them.
She brings out a video like S and M then thinks she’s some kind of civil rights hero. Not so nice to be beating people with a whip now is it ?
white people never want to be held accountable for the racist in their community but we as black people are held responsible for every idiot that paint us in a negative light. were even held responsible for the non black media outlets that sell images of the “black celebrity “ across the globe. so if we’re all thugs and people non deserving of basic human empathy then maybe you are all racist.
You should see the negative light that isn’t being shown in the riots. Sounds like you need to take a good look in the mirror and forgive your parents for how they raised, or maybe didn’t raise you. Seriously. Hiding behind your real black privilege to make excuses for people being hurt that had nothing to do with any of this should he an eye opener to people. Or we can just sweep it under the rug, and call everyone a racist who doesn’t believe your skewed views on the world. There’s nothing empathetic about all these riots going on right now. Race relations are truly at an all time low, and the message your sending is the a contribution to the problem
No. You are just an uneducated moron making blanket statements about an entire race. Do black people want to be held accountable for the murder rate, the prison population, the lack of fathers in homes, the bling worship? Liberia was given to freed slaves from the US to return to Africa and start a new nation. How are cops treating people out there? LOL. Enjoy another 4 years of Trump, dummy.
Yeah sure. White People are the ones saying the most ignorant and racist sh*t and then claim they couldnt be racist because they are white, delusional loser.
All the white people in the comments crying because this has been headline news for a minute. They can’t stand to see blacks in the spot light like this without getting weird as fuck. Y’all can mask it however you want.. bringing up black on black violence and other cases where black people wronged white people. it’s pathetic. Just admit your a racist piece of shit or stfu and be on your merry way.
I disagree with that. What I can’t stand is how perceived racism can be fuel to cover up for you actual racism. No one thinks about the lives being lost by the property being destroyed, or the people that are being beat for trying to defend that property. If anyone is a racist it would be you. This black vs white thing that’s being conjured up by the media and consumed by people like you needs to stop. These so called leaders that are nothing but glorified race hustlers should be more responsible with their platform.
What a reach hahahahaha
What’s the reach? That there are people’s live being destroyed, or that the media and race hustlers are feeding this. I mean if you really want to believe that what I said is a lie that’s on you. People like you won’t do any research because you’d rather be continually lied to. The people that are donating to domestic terrorist groups are people that Woke Twitter had “cancelled” at least 2-3 times each. There’s no loyalty. Only who will give you money to fund your hate, and when that stops happening and it will. People with your mindset will go right back to hating them.
Anyone who has different opinions and wants to have a dialogue is a racist. Nice. You’re a hypocrite and a moron sir.
Lol nice dodge. More excuses. Admit it.
Nice Try. You seem white.
Its funny, here from Australia, we watch you Americans, yell things like “greatest country in the world” “freedom country” etc etc but just know we are laughing and cringing at your country, I speak to people here every day and we say Thank god that we are here and not there, that video is disgusting, your president is disgusting, everything about your country from the Food, weight problem, politics, health care, corruption is all rubbish.
Goodluck to yall lol
Thanks convict. Nice to know that a country founded by violent criminals, raapists, and mental cases think we are all disgusting. Im sure you find electricity disgusting, the internet, Hip-Hop, rock and jazz. You know what isn’t disgusting vegimite. Barf. How about you keep your cousin fucking opinion to yourself. There is a reason everyone likes Kiwis and things you’re all jackdaws.
America was founded on a giant, violent rebellion that included tar and feathering innocent tax collectors and the Boston Tea Party. According to GOP rhetoric, colonial Americans were nothing but thuggish terrorists inciting violence against law and order.
I don’t disagree….. America is the best country in the world only to those that haven’t travelled much. Once you visit other first world countries, you soon realise America is a third world country but with a Gucci belt…..
Honestly. If you don’t like it here and you think some other country is better you should probably live there. Regardless of what your skin color is. Based on your comment you lack character. Our country isn’t perfect, but we are one of a kind in what we all have. Go somewhere else and get the same rights protected by the constitution somewhere else. Or even better. Go try to make money like these artists do somewhere else. You can’t even criticize a politician in most countries like people do here. It’s people like you and the comments I read saying all these riots are justified that are part of the problem. Lives are being destroyed that have nothing to do with it.
Oh no.. your opinion matters soo much to us though. Bitch stfu. Weak ass troll.
wow rihanna upset much.
Sounds like RiRi’s jooish handlers are putting all this in her pretty little head.
This chick kills me. She’s nobody special. She isjust an over rated over paid entertainer.
