Floyd WAS a criminal. Look at his charges and convictions. He was also under arrest. Facts prove that blacks are treated better today by the police than they were five, ten, fifteen or more years ago. Give the police some credit. Not very many of them are corrupt and they are being weeded out. This was a wrongful death, and unfortunate but COPs are not perfect. That is not an excuse, just a statement. Do not presume that all COPs are bad and do not act amazed when you hear of an incident that was handled wrong. COPs handle the worst of society every day and are bound to make mistakes like other folks. I am not excusing anyone, but I am also not going to make Floyd into some sort of angel. Even his brother said at his funeral that he watched his brother and tried not to make the same mistakes. Floyd did not deserve to die, but I will not mourn him, either. If you live the life of crime, expect unfortunate results.
