Liverpool players voiced their opinion loud and clear on the injustice by four US police officers that led to the death of George Floyd...
They knelt in solidarity to support the protesters who came out in millions in the US to send a message that systemic racism is very wrong and change has to come.
"Unity is strength. #BlackLivesMatter." was the picture featuring 29 Liverpool players.
Derek Chauvin is the man that led to Floyd's death by putting his knee on Floyd until he could not breath.
His wife packed up her bags and divorced him after he was charged.
An independent autopsy has concluded that Floyd's death was homicide from Asphyxiation.
He has since been booked for manslaughter, although the charges came too late but another issue is that the other police officers were accessories leading to Floyd's death and protesters want them to face justice as well.
So many cases of police brutality have gone "under the rug" and this time the voice of the people have a say on it.
America has never seen such protests that have cut across all of America and by all races.
President Barack Obama wrote that the protests represent " genuine and legitimate frustration."
