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.

Trump Administration Dragged After U.S. Military Shoots Down One Of Our Own Drones Over Texas

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has long emphasized the "warrior ethos" he expects from the U.S. military but now his leadership (to say nothing of the Trump administration as a whole) is facing criticism after military personnel shot down a drone operated by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) on Thursday in Texas in yet another display of incompetence.

Lawmakers said that the military used a laser to down a CBP drone at Fort Hancock, leading the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand flight restrictions near El Paso, Texas. The reason for the laser use remains unclear, but it was the second such deployment in the area in two weeks, despite rules requiring coordination with aviation regulators.

There's a saying about laying down with dogs. Or, you're known by the company you keep. NHL player and Team USA member Brady Tkachuk is learning that lesson.

The Tkachuk brothers, Brady—who plays professional hockey for the Ottawa Senators based in the capital city in the province of Ontario, Canada—and Matthew—who plays for the Florida Panthers based in the metro Miami area—had already drawn ire online for being proud supporters of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics even before the disastrous locker room celebration with FBI Director Kash Patel after their gold medal win.
