Q: Is the Pres Biden watching the trial of Derek Chauvin? @KJP46: He is watching just like millions of Americans are. The president has spoken in personal terms about the death of George Floyd. It affected him in the way it affected so many. He has redoubled his equity efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Charles McMillian, who tried to speak to George Floyd as officers first tried to put him in a police car and then later as Floyd shouted for his mama while Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, just broke down on the witness stand. Court on a break now. https://t.co/otRlBocOuZ — PolitiTweet.org

Striking: Christopher Martin, the Cup Foods cashier who sold George Floyd cigarettes and handled the alleged fake $20 bill, said he told his manager that he could dock his pay $20 to pay for the alleged fake bill. But the manager decided to have police called on Floyd instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Chauvin's lawyer: You called officers a bitch, right? Genevieve Hansen, off-duty firefighter on scene: "Mmhm ... I got quite angry after Mr. Floyd was loaded into the ambulance & there was no point in trying to reason w/ them anymore because they had just killed somebody." — PolitiTweet.org

Still struck by this: Genevieve Hansen, the off-duty firefighter on the scene as George Floyd died, said she stayed on scene after Floyd was taken away bc she worried about the Black people and people of color --like Donald Williams -- possibly being hurt by remaining police. — PolitiTweet.org

Genevieve Hansen, the off-duty firefighter on the scene as Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd's neck, like Darnella Frazier is emotional as she describes what she wished she would have done to help Floyd. She, like others, called police on the police after what she witnessed. — PolitiTweet.org

Darnella Frazier, at 17, changed the world by filming George Floyd's death. Her video is at the heart of this trial, the $27M settlement for Floyd's family, the national racial reckoning, and so much more. And, she is haunted by what more she could have done. My goodness. — PolitiTweet.org

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

Darnella Frazier's 9-year-old cousin testified that Derek Chauvin had to be moved off of George Floyd's neck by EMTs. Of seeing this, she said, "I was sad and kind of mad ... cause it felt like he was stopping his breathing and kind of like hurting him." — PolitiTweet.org

Darnella Frazier summing up feelings of so Black people: "When I look at George Floyd, I look at my dad, I look at brothers, I look at my cousins, my uncles because they are all black. ..I have black friends & I look at that & I look at that how that could have been one of them." — PolitiTweet.org

Darnella Frazier who filmed death of George Floyd at 17: "There have been nights I stayed up apologizing & apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more & not physically interacting & not saving his life. But it’s like not what I should have done, it’s what he should have done." — PolitiTweet.org
