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.

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.
