Taika Waititi has been criticised for “policing black anger” in a tweet in which he appeared to criticise the anti-police brutality riots that have taken place across the USA.
Waititi’s tweet was met with strong backlash, however, with numerous Twitter users accusing him of attempting to police black anger.
Another Twitter user wrote: “I implore you to seek out Black voices that don’t just say what you WANT to hear.
The 46-year-old was killed after a white police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes, while Floyd pleaded for his life.
