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.

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.

yes, but there's that 1 fact i cant get out of my mind-he worked for a security company. how did he manage to get that job with a record? i'm not excusing crime, just posing the questions. to me there are missing pieces about this entire thing

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

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.

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.

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!

I urge you to look up Candice Owens, i have been following her for a few years.
