'Wrath of God:' Dave Chappelle addresses police officers in George Floyd death
In a newly released comedy special, Comedian Dave Chappelle addressed the murder
of George Floyd. In the socially-distant comedy special entitled “8:46,” a nod
to the length of time the officers knelt on Floyd’s neck, Chappelle said “one of
the hardest parts of the tape to listen to” was hearing Floyd tell “the police
he couldn’t breathe.” Chappelle questioned the motive of the officers, asking if
they kneeled “on a man’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds and feel like you
wouldn't get the wrath of God.”
