Inspired by the murder of George Floyd by police late last month, outraged Americans across the country are speaking out against the epidemic of police brutality against Black Americans.

Protests against Floyd's murder have taken place in all 50 states and Democrats in Congress have prepared bills to broadly reform the current systems of policing in the United States.


Celebrities are speaking out as well—some with more sincerity and tact than others.

Dwayne Johnson recently became one of those stepping up to denounce Floyd's murder, and he did so with a gut-wrenching video calling out the inaction and insensitivity of President Donald Trump.

Watch below.

The video lasts eight minutes and 26 seconds—only 20 seconds shorter than the amount of times former police officer Derek Chauvin was knelt on George Floyd's neck.

Johnson says:

"Where are you? Where is our leader? Where are you? Where is our leader at this time?"
"At this time when our country is down on its knees, begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain, begging and pleading with its arms out, just wanting to be heard. Begging and pleading and praying for change."
"Where are you?"
"Where is our compassionate leader who's gonna step up to our country who's down on its knees and extend a hand and say 'You stand up'."
"'Stand up with me. Stand up with me, because I got you. I got you. I got you. I hear you. I'm listening to you, and you have my word that I'm gonna do everything in my power until my dying day, my last breath, to do everything I can to create the change that is needed to normalize equality because Black lives matter'."
"Where are you?"

Johnson went on to urge a leader to emerge who would take into account the pain and frustration felt by the people of the United States.

He urged Americans to become the leaders we lack at the moment.

He concluded:

"The process to change has already begun and you can feel it...you can feel it across our country. Change is happening. It's gonna take time."
"We're gonna get beat up. We're gonna take our lumps. There's gonna be blood, but the process of change has already begun. You guys stay strong. We got this."

People applauded the powerful video.




Some jokingly urged him to run for President.



And people predicted an upcoming tweet.

While supporters of the reality TV star turned President call for entertainers to stay out of politics...

...others remember that just because someone is an actor or singer or wrestler, they're still voters and citizens.

Just because their voices reach a larger audience doesn't mean they don't have the same rights as anyone in any other profession.

Katie Couric Has Hilariously Shady 1-Word Response To Clip Of Melania Singing In Her Documentary

Finding great moments from the Melania Trump vanity project, her self-titled documentary, may prove difficult. Largely described as a $75 million dollar bribe—$45 million to make and $30 million to market—from Amazon's Jeff Bezos to MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, the film was a bomb at the box office and savaged by critics.

This was despite suspicious bulk ticket purchases during Melania's opening weekend and review bombing by Trump's MAGA minions to try to prop up the film that followed Melania Trump around as she tried to pick out clothes in the 20 days leading up to Trump's second inauguration.

An Older MAGA Voter's Rant About How Prices Are Going Up Due To Trump Is Getting Epically Skewered

Keith Pedersen, a senior Trump voter, went viral after sharing on Facebook his complaints about how prices for gas, groceries and other essentials are going up under President Trump—and has received some very unsympathetic responses.

In January, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.

Someone Hacked Crosswalks In Denver To Play Hilariously NSFW Anti-Trump Messages—And It's Brilliant

Hackers changed the messages on some newly-installed crosswalks in Denver, Colorado, to play messages criticizing President Donald Trump—to the delight of anti-Trumpers.

The crosswalk push-buttons were newly installed and “still bagged,” operating on factory settings that included a default password easily found online, according to Nancy Kuhn of the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. She said the password has now been changed and officials “don’t expect a repeat situation" at these locations.
