Former president Jimmy Carter has shared a stirring statement addressing the police killing of George Floyd and calling for the government to assure justice is served.

Carter, 95, said he and his wife Rosalynn are 'pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks.'

'pained' by George Floyd's death

Either that or Rosalynn's chicken fried steak. Sometimes she adds too much pepper.

But no comment about the individuals that had their property or lives destroyed by the peaceful looting and rioting.

i wonder what he’ll miss most, the multiple arrests, holding a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly, being a meth head, a fentanyl user or his porn star career.

What’d he say about Saint George Floyd sticking a pistol in a pregnant woman’s belly, or acting in porn movies?

If George Floyd is a porn star, wouldn’t that make his films, tapes, DVDs, etc. very valuable?

Is there any real evidence, any whatsoever, of racial injustices? None. Everyone just automatically jumps to that conclusion every time. All we know for sure is that a career criminal resisted arrest and the cops restrained him too forcefully. There is nothing to suggest that the death was intentional or racially motivated.

I’m pained that Jimmy Carter was ever president.

Jimmy Carter makes the administration of Andrew Johnson look good by comparison.

Tucker Carlson said that in 2019 10 blacks were killed by police and were unarmed. While each life is precious police are killed BY blacks more often then killing blacks. We know the names of all 10. Do we know the names of the police killed by blacks?-NO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYfL9mVuDaY

No comment about all those dead Iraqis tortured by Saddam Hussein while donors Al Khafaji and Samir Vincent were sending his library proceeds from Iraqi oil vouchers, either.

But Jimmy Carter was just the most religious, most decent man on earth. Don’t you remember? He used to tell us every day. He was, and is in reality, a deceitful, lying, incompetent, phony slob.

The media portrays Floyd as an innocent black not resisting arrest not mentioning his size or that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and efforts were tried to get him under control Check out
