The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has reversed its decision to grant George Floyd a posthumous pardon for a 2004 drug conviction, according to a letter obtained by CNN.
The about-face on Wednesday comes nearly a year after the board voted unanimously to recommend the pardon and more than two years after Floyd was killed by a former Minneapolis officer.
The board did not cite a reason for its decision in the letter, which was sent Thursday to the Harris County public defender working on behalf of Floyd’s surviving family members.
“After a full and careful review of the application and other information filed with the application, a majority of the Board decided not to recommend a Full Pardon and/or Pardon for Innocence,” the letter states.
Floyd’s family filed the pardon application on his behalf in April 2021. The family may reapply in two years, according to the letter.

Again.
Let’s celebrate thugs!
Hope Target is stocked on flat screens. Christmas ain’t THAT far off. 😵😎✌. Check back for more early shopping ideas.
Tear down that abomination that is a statue of him in NJ.
Time to head up to portland and burn the city down
Hasn’t this thruggie had enough accolades?
Why does he deserve one? He died in another state that has nothing to do with a 2004 crime.
“Hope Target is stocked on flat screens.”
You know, they actually aren’t. I was looking at the TV section in a Target a week or so ago, and it’s not what it used to be. Fewer models, reduced wall space, mostly really low-end stuff. Not saying that this pivot is due to the company’s experience with looters, but I’m not not saying that either.
Come on, man. George has been sober for nearly 28 months now. Doesn’t that count for something??
Just when you think it can’t get any stupider.....
Wal-Mart better watch out then. 😵🤔
No. The same people are now looking for new reasons to start rioting and burning and looting. “My kids need new outfits for school clothes and I wouldn’t mind a new winter coat. Might as well steal them under the fake cover of ‘protest’”
This is their mindset.
The stores are loaded with back-to-school stuff. The burning will have to wait for a little restocking.
Pardon him? They should be charging him again in permanent absentia.
Good.
and, shouldn’t he be made a posthumous graduate at the college he dropped out (while on scholarship)? Because, you know, he couldn’t have been a moocher or a low-level thief. He’s a role model. He should replace George Washington on the $1 bill.
Good decision.
