Cher apologizes for 'over-emotional' tweets where she claimed she could have saved George Floyd's life if she had been there
Cher tweeted Friday that she believes she 'could have helped' George Floyd if she had been present during his arrest in Minneapolis last May
Floyd died after police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes; Chauvin is now on trial for murder
Cher was promptly trolled for her tweet, with many describing it as tone-deaf and insensitive
However, hundreds of others supported the singer, saying they supported her sentiments and believed her heart was in the right place
