The lie that George Floyd was murdered by racist police officers in Minneapolis has made its way around the world several times over, leaving countless violent riots and more than $2 billion in property damages in its wake, but it seems that the truth is finally putting on its shoes.
In June of 2020, 60 percent of surveyed adults deemed George Floyd’s death to be murder at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin. As of last month, a little more than a third of Americans believe that.
That’s a stunning near-reversal of public opinion. How did that happen?
The answer to the practical question as to what role the accused Derek Chauvin had in Floyd’s death will ultimately be determined by the courts in his ongoing trial, as it should be. Unfortunately, that question is of far less societal importance than the larger question looming around George Floyd’s death. It is a question that is rarely ever asked, and for which there is no such codified structure for honest investigation and judgment outside of today’s kangaroo court of public opinion overseen by politicians, celebrities, and the media.
That question is: What role, if any, did racism play in George Floyd’s death?
It has been taken for granted since the first video of Floyd’s arrest emerged that George Floyd was a victim of racial injustice. It was, according to the president of Axios, Cliff Young, an “acute crisis” that brought “racial justice to the forefront.”

The jurors know that they must convict, probably on the greater charge, to avoid the re-burning of Minneapolis and other cities.
Define “racism”.
The day he tried fentanyl for the first time, his count-down clock was ticking.
Around the US in 2019, half of all overdose deaths were from fentanyl.
The first riots should have been shutdown before they started. This is all on democratic controlled governments who should not receive a dime for their incompetence, in fact they should be personally financially responsible....
Democrats need racism to beat down the opposition. People like Jesse Jackson and tax-cheat Al Sharpton have made a living out of perpetuating racism.
It came at the moment when the left needed a new national obsession. Beginning of warm weather - perfect for street savages to burn up the center of town, to steal, and to assault. They wanted chaos in the streets which they blamed on racist murder by cops.
There will be another summer of rioting. The show trial is underway now, and when it ends the race hucksters will tell the street savages to go for it - steal the Man’s things, kill the Man, burn his buildings down. And that will pave the way for reparations.
There was never pretending. The riots, burning and looting were purely racist gambits designed to insure the integrity of the black voting bloc for democrats
If the black vote was lost, there would be no Democrat party.
The racist democrats must be destroyed for their destruction of America
Political analysis
Reburning of Minneapolis may not be such a bad thing.
Good points.
Alternatively, apart from damaged property owners, if each voter, including even those not ordinarily subject to income taxes, were held liable for a some amount of money to make riot victims whole again, the voters might be tempted to use their votes more wisely.
It might become less fashionable to vote for, or to even give a political platform to those who advocate open borders, reducing police forces, tent cities, free hotel rooms, just to name a few.
First, burn and loot.
Then ask “what happened.”
Notice none of the Leftist organizers have been arrested. Meanwhile many of of the January 6th Capitol Fraternity Pranksters remain incarcerated without charges.
Like Trump, the trial courts, appeals courts and the Supreme Court are corrupted by Democrat Marxist dogma, millions in bribes, intimidation and blackmail.
Chauvin has to be convicted of “SOMETHING”. He’s trapped like the proverbial rat in a barrel. I’m surprised that ANY big blue city has a police force.
The Democrats had to riot and destroy areas to force minorities out so they can redevelop using plum contractor contracts and then fill the areas with most favorable minority groups.
How many people did Floyd kill with the drugs he was selling?
The media lied for months, and the truth finally got out that he ate a deadly amount of fentanyl.
Media beats dead horse over and over and over.............
Can We Finally Stop Pretending that George Floyd’s Death Had Anything to Do with a knee on his neck?
Can We Finally admit that George Floyd’s Death was a suicide?
Can We Finally admit that George Floyd was a worthless piece of s***? (excrement)
It makes no difference what verdict comes the trial of the Minneapolis cop, Minneapolis will again be burning by summer. The cop could be taken by a BLM lynch mob and hanged in front of the courthouse and still the city will burn. The milqtoast mayor of Minneapolis and doofus the Governor will again wring their hands as the mobs rampage and the fires burn. Don’t count on any federal intervention either.
