Ava DuVernay has backed claims by actor David Oyelowo that Academy members said they would not vote for their civil rights film Selma after the cast showed support for a black man who died in police custody.

Stars of the movie, as well as director DuVernay, wore T-shirts bearing the slogan “I can’t breathe” for Selma’s premiere. They were the words gasped by Eric Garner, who died after a New York City police officer put him in a chokehold in July 2014, months before Selma’s release.

Mr Garner’s case has attracted renewed attention in the wake of George Floyd’s death in similar circumstances which has sparked a wave of protests against police treatment of black people.

Trump Faces Major Outrage For Claiming George Floyd Is Happy In ‘Heaven’ After Unemployment Drops
“Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, color, gender, or creed,” said President Donald Trump, 73, about George Floyd during his June 5 press conference, one that was about unemployment dropping slightly to 13.3%, per CBS News. “They have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement. They have to receive it. We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen.” Had Trump stopped there, it would have been fine and he could go back “inspecting” his bunker. Nevertheless, he persisted: “Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country.”
