Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson asked “where is our compassionate leader” in a heartfelt video in which he declared that “our country is down on its knees, begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain” following the police killing of George Floyd and the protests that have erupted nationwide.
the wrestler-turned-actor repeatedly asked in the eight-minute video that he shared to Instagram on Wednesday, calling for a leader who shows empathy as “the floorboards of our country are becoming unhinged.”
In his caption of the clip, Johnson wondered where is the leader “who unifies and inspires our country at our most painful time when we need it the most.”
“The leader who picks our country up off its knees and says you have my word ― we got this ― and together, change will happen.”

Johnson last week condemned the death of Floyd, a Black man who died in Minneapolis after a white police officer knelt on his neck, in a heartfelt Instagram post in which he described racism and police violence as “our ongoing disease.”
