Maybe your not aware that this isn't about GEORGE FLOYD!

After seeing his photo and learning both he and the cop worked the same club as security red flags started popping up for me. No Iam not surprised he was a career criminal.

I think that if someone knelt on your neck for 9 minutes while others held you down, you might see things clearly and understand what this is about.

I'm glad that all you folks that take offense to the correct description of this guy being called a Thug won't be on my side when the poo hits the fan. lol

He did NOT deserve to be slowly MURDERED by a POLICE OFFICER, thug or no thug!!!! The bad cops are killing good black people as well. They need to GO!!!

Yes, he had a criminal history but he WAS Murdered.

Bmacs 06-09-2020 06:45 AM

So was the cop!

JulieER 06-09-2020 06:46 AM

Characterize the MURDERER.

The oppression that the black people live under, the fear they have every day. The moms and dads that have to raise their children coaching them constantly how to respond and act around a white cop or they could end up dead.

Racism? The cop was white, Floyd is black. So this makes it racism? What if the cop was black and Floyd White? Did the cop call him names? Who decided this was racism?

Sorry his death was wrong but there was a lot more to this than the media wants us to know.

JulieER 06-09-2020 06:55 AM

His record matters only in a trial and sentencing. Not when being murdered by a cop when being taken in for questioning over a $20 bill. The officers are holding him down and grinding a knee into his windpipe didn’t even know his record at the time - but they did know he was black.

All cops live under the fear of thugs. How do you control a drugged out thug that is a threat to your life? We wouldn't have this problem if families taught respect not fear.

Didn't think police were the judge AND the jury.

This is true for any and all parents, it's just a question of what the child does with the coaching. More whites are killed by police than any other race even though whites do not cause the majority of the crimes.
