Nia-Malika Henderson is a senior political analyst for CNN. The views expressed here are her own. View more opinion on CNN. I have never seen the George Floyd video. I am not watching the murder trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who pressed his knee on Floyd's neck for almost 10 minutes in broad daylight over a fake $20 bill. Nia-Malika HendersonAs a journalist, I should have seen the brutal video.
Eight months later, she shed tears over Los Angeles. Tears over how the justice system and how America had let her and her people down. My mother and father, a college professor, had raised all of us with a sense of history. They had taken us to protest marches against the Confederate flag, decades after they themselves had marched for civil rights.

niaCNN Opinion Shouting for justice, yet this black people attack Asians.
niaCNN Opinion Oh and again race baiting CNN?
niaCNN Opinion So I guess that means she can’t watch the news everyday since Black folks are killing each other almost daily. Such BS!
niaCNN Opinion It's like Roots in HD Time to show the new generation what it was like back in the good old days.
niaCNN Opinion Then, CNN Author should write about change WITHIN the US Black Population. Continue the 'Victimization' Propaganda, you contribute to perpetuating their lack of self-introspection
niaCNN Opinion Take ownership / responsibility in family values & education in your community! I promise these unfortunate situations will virtually be non existent! Stop being the victim!
niaCNN Opinion FREE Derek Chauvin!
niaCNN Opinion I can’t either. To much negative on TV already. What he did was wrong and he should stay in jail.
niaCNN Opinion Then y'all should be super upset what Hunter, being rich and white, is getting away with. But you're not. Cuz race isn't your problem.
niaCNN Opinion Can someone tell me WTF Chauvin is writing? His note-taking during the trial appears to be an attempt at intimidation. He looks so stupid rapidly writing what I believe to be scribbling
niaCNN Opinion I hear you
niaCNN Opinion If we truly respect, appreciate and revere God , Nature or the Universe , we will accept , admire and love everything in it's it creation. There will be very less reason to show our manmade differences among ourselves. We will all live truly as brothers and sisters.
niaCNN Opinion Why didn’t he just comply ? He would be alive right now !
niaCNN Opinion They cheered for OJ though.

DrAyanaJordan niaCNN Opinion Including feeling the outrage over the questionable amount of justice that will likely be the outcome.
niaCNN Opinion Neither can I. Seeing this image has caused us all to feel traumatized /victimized once more. But luckily, at the end of each day, CNN’s Don Lemon & Laura Coates among other guess, summarizes where the case is going because I need to know, but without seeing the images -:))
niaCNN Opinion Race bait race bait race bait. Bullshit bullshit. Y’all are just laughable at this point.What happened to Floyd is horrible.But it’s not a trend, it’s apart of couple bad incidents. That might I mention happen to all races.But the media only covers black men cuz it sells ratings
niaCNN Opinion CNN is a joke
niaCNN Opinion I think it's important to follow the trial, no matter how difficult. I've seen the video of the events leading up to the death of Mr. Floyd that were never shown on the news. It doesn't help the defense, but it makes us more informed about how things happened.
niaCNN Opinion White discrimination.
niaCNN Opinion u can’t watch it because u already have a biased opinion and perception of who’s guilty. in reality...u don’t know the facts. facts matter floyd’s family shouldn’t have received a $27 million settlement.
niaCNN Opinion Absolutely can‘t watch it. Huge respect for people that can and do. I hope Chauvin is suitably punished but white american cops rarely are.
niaCNN Opinion
niaCNN Opinion I feel White Reporters should report the News on senseless killings and crimes on Blacks, Browns & Asians. Every time a Hate crime happens it appears they pass the mic to a minority. When it’s positive news White People report. BusinessInsider NAACP gaylekingshow
niaCNN Opinion 💔😢😢I felt the same watching such assassination live of another brother displayed on TV again on our faces😢😢💔💔I was never able to watch it knowing he will be killed by this animal cop. There must be justice with no contest for Mr G Floyd 💪🏾
niaCNN Opinion I hear you and am watching for you. And vow to make sure my family and friends hear your message and understand the pain. 🙏🙏🙏
niaCNN Opinion Doesn’t bother me in the least to not watch it, it’s the lefts agenda. If the cop gets off it will cause havoc in the streets so I’m thinking they will throw this trial so there is an uproar. Cause a great divide in our country is how you get a controlled government
niaCNN Opinion Were whites supposed to turn the tv off while they were looting, rioting, killing, burning cities. Should we have ignored it(probably). No, whites have had to get called racists, supremecists, and every other word since it happened. Fix America not divide America. We are ready
niaCNN Opinion Drug addict and felon killed while resisting arrest suffered from underlying health conditions...now considered a Saint...America is gone!
niaCNN Opinion Is for the jury to decide if the Cop is guilty or not...and I don't care about Junkies anyway. GF was no hero..just another criminal whose arrest went bad. Rest in Piss GF.
