This is true....why is everyone making a martyr out of this man and burning and looting their own neighborhoods. Look in the past, most, not all are “thugs”. And they are not the great person they are portrayed to be.

Well TUFF ??? His Record and his current wrong doings is why he is DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats the part i cant figure out! george worked for a security co., & the cop did too. i'm sitting very quietly watching & waiting. i would not be surprised the cop knew it was george, yet continued the restraint on a cuffed suspect. maybe this can get a 1st degree murder charge if there's proof of a possible beef or conflict of interest

No one deserves to lay in the street in handcuffs and be slowly deprived of blood and oxygen until you die while people stand around and watch. NO ONE. And it should not be condoned by anyone regardless of their personal circumstances.

PugMom 06-09-2020 09:51 AM

thank you. many define george with labels to deflect, i can say he was an EXAMPLE of extreme brutality.

It was terrible how he died. We were always told, don’t take the law in your hands & kill someone, I guess this peace maker thought he was ammuned to this. I better not say any more or TOTV will banned me from this website again. Have a great day!

This is not about George Floyd’s past. Similar to those like you upset about Colin K. Kneeling in peaceful protest for police brutality you’re completely missing the point.

Floyd’s record might not matter but it’s disgusting how the media circus and the black civil rights leaders are front and center using his death to further divide the country. He was no hero and I find it offensive that he is being depicted as such.

I dont think anybody could help the Black person, I was incarcerated for a year and I was one of the 10% white. I talked to these people and had a 26 year old brag to me he was a gangster with 28 pages of criminal record starting at 6. Yes 6, he would go into the nearest 7/11 and steal a candy bar for himself. He would go home eating it when his MOM yelled at him for spending his money. He told his mom he stole it and it was free. She yelled at him for being selfish and not getting enough for the rest of the family. Next time he stole all he could and ran, This happned over 100 times. One kid was 5 when he was charged with murder, he told me he watched a guy kill another guy for a drug problem and when the murderer ran gave him the gun to hold for police. He was a minor and was released to a juvenule court with one year probation. I asked him if his family ever just leave the bad area and he told me, The Government offed new housing to any one wishing to leave. Noway the drug money was there easy money.Can we help NO WAY they like that life

You are correct. It was brutal and uncalled for.

But also correct are those who point out George was a 4-time loser. He should not have been killed (I'd say manslaughter, not murder), and the cop needs to do some serious time.

Bottom line, the prisons are full of innocent good guys, at least if you ask them. I imagine the funny money story is true since no one has rebutted it and we are 2 weeks into this nightmare.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of your wrong narrative

FBI/DOJ Statistics: 2018
2925 Blacks Killed
2600 Killed by blacks
234 by whites

2019
Killed by cops
235 Blacks
370 Whites
Only 19 unarmed blacks killed by police and half of those were by black officers.
Why is Black Lives Matter more concerned with the 19 than the 2925? It doesn’t fit their narrative. I think the black parents you refer to should teach their kids to be wary of their own if they want to make it home safe, not the cops.

I'll take all those over using the FBI to spy on an incoming administration based on a fraudulent Russian sourced dossier.

My parents taught when stopped by a police officer to stay respectful and follow their orders even when you do not think you are wrong.

I learned to argue with them but always in a respectful manner.

It's not that hard to get a job as a bouncer in a bar with his physical size.
He was also a porn star.
George Floyd Porn Star!!!This is Why He May Have Been Killed By Cop

George Floyd had paid his debt to society by serving prison time.
 
He moved to Minnesota to start a new life. There is NO evidence that I have seen that he was "a thug" in Minnesota. He complied with police requests, the video shows, but he was killed anyway. Previous criminal record is irrelevant. Being killed by a police officer while on the ground and while other officers watched IS relevant. Stop victimizing the victim! Stop treating people of color different than others. Actions, not skin pigmentation, should determine proper responses. This is still America, isn't it?

The real martyrs were the innocent shop owners who lost their business and the people who were killed by the thugs in the protest. The data does not support all this outrage. The incident was used by ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter to forward their agendas. Both of those organizations are terrorist in nature. This whole ordeal has made it virtually impossible to get justice for anybody involved. I'm pretty much done with it and had enough.

:popcorn: hmmmmm!!

Your profound ignorance is glowing. George Floyd was a human being, going to "get it" what planet do you live on? What back alley mentality do you reside in. 4 policemen killed this man and he did not "deserve to die" Shame on you, shame on you. I certainly hope you don't call yourself a Christian. It makes no difference if he had a criminal background or a speeding ticket are you some sort of fortune teller that it would happen one way or the other. Shame on you.

Bellavita 06-09-2020 12:28 PM

OMG really? you have no idea the amount of felons that are cooking your food or serving you. Are we putting people in prison to rehabilitate or be left out forever? This post is outrageous

I found a few clips with him in them on youtube, G to R (for language, no above the waist frontal nudity) rated, everybody dressed and just chatting prior to any clothing removal or physical activity.

So "Big Floyd the Landlord" was a multifaceted man of many talents. Who would have guessed he was an actor. Thank you for your post!

It is amazing but airlines hire former felons as baggage handlers and for other jobs - ever wonder why things of value might be missing from your checked luggage? Even some Sheriffs' and Police departments hire them as they are under pressure and have quotas and is very difficult to find people without criminal records among the minority groups they must hire.

All. any black kid has to to stay out of trouble is obey the law. George Floyd wouldn’t be dead if he obeyed the law!
