And if you watched the funeral (which I did not, but saw clips of it). There is no way his body was in that casket/whatever that was being flipped around during the service, nor would he fit in the casket in the horse drawn buggy...or maybe he was cremated.....that would make sense.. BUT, you are correct...he definitely did not have the resume of what many would consider an upstanding member of society. And it would be nice if all of those folks would have contributrd to a fund of sorts that would help clean up the way of life of depressed neighborhoods, or fund to bring young children out of the situation they are in, if it's a dead end street. These little lives that have been taken lately just breaks my heart.. Wondering if the Floyd family will donate a large portion of that to the common good of children in depressed/dangerous areas....

Actually, the world probably IS "in a better place right now." Although, when he was alive he cost the taxpayer a lot of money, and now that he is dead he is still costing the taxpayer a lot of money.

Let's also not forget that during a time of lockdown where no one could visit the sick and elderly or even go to funerals, that they had two funerals in 2 separate states for George Floyd. I'm surprised that they didn't lay his body in state in the Capitol for 3 days. Ridiculous.

I've seen the video. Floyd was a bad guy even as a youth. His father looked so proud of him.......NOT!

Floyd resisted arrest. That is what killed him. I guess he didn't get "the talk" from his parents early on. He was a thug as a kid.

I do not have any sympathy for him but it does appear police were a little overbearing in his arrest.

Be interesting to see what comes out at their trial
