President Biden on Saturday reiterated his commitment to fighting gun violence on what would have been the late George Floyd’s 50th birthday.
“George Floyd should be alive. He should be celebrating his 50th birthday with his young daughter Gianna, family, and friends,” Biden wrote in a statement. “He deserved so much more.”
“Today, we join his family to honor his life and legacy,” he added. “And we remember the tragedy and injustice of his death that sparked one of the largest civil rights movements in our nation’s history and inspired the world.”
Legislation with his namesake — the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act — is currently stalled in the House, as Republicans and Democrats struggle to agree on some components, including the end to no-knock warrants and qualified immunity.
The bill was introduced in 2021 after Floyd was murdered by a white police officer in Minneapolis.
“George Floyd’s murder exposed for many what Black and Brown communities have long known and experienced — that our nation has never fully lived up to its highest ideal of fair and impartial justice for all under the law,” he argued on Saturday.
Biden signed an executive order with some elements from the bill: including a chokehold ban, restrictions on no-knock warrants and establishing a police misconduct database. The order also reallocated the use of federal resources to state and local agencies.

Oh...now the criminal democrats call it gun “reform” sort of like when global warming became climate change.
Word changes work on weak minded, stupid people.
Never give up any weapons and demand the repeal of laws like the NFA of 1934 instead.
Any form of government based in democracy is now proven to be a terrible method of choosing leaders unless it was severely restricted like the original US Constitution, not like the one we have today with both the 17th and 19th amendments among many other dramatic changes.
Biden said of Floyd: "...He deserved so much more..."
If Floyd had gotten the sentence he deserved when he stuck that gun into the abdomen of that pregnant woman, he might still be alive.
Demonrat Hamas baby killer party celebrates
a porn actor fent drug overdose addicts birthday .
That terrorist party is insane .
Pandering to the hoplophobes in his base.
They make heroes of people most like themselves. Weaklings, perverts, criminals . . . . .
The Occupy White House gang that works Crime Boss Joey’s head has run out of ideas.
Trying to take guns away from us is Democrat/communist policy 101.
Doing to honor a dead life long criminal on what would have been his 50th birthday is like car dealerships have Halloween Sale.
Joey’s team is out of gas but now we must hope and pray that he hangs in to be the rodents’ nominee.
How are Floyd and gun control related?
One word...Hamas.
That’s what I think, too.
Wasn't he a drug dealer who broke into a pregnant woman's home and held a gun to her belly? Am I remembering the right thug? They kind of blend together at this point.
Floyd would be dead regardless of what interaction he had with the police.
He overdosed himself.
Ditto.
What a pimp. Jesse CarJackson would be proud.
Wasn’t he a drug dealer who broke into a pregnant woman’s home and held a gun to her belly? Am I remembering the right thug? They kind of blend together at this point.
to be fair he has not committed any crimes in the past three years
If each Israeli had guns the massacre would have turned out differently.
No matter. The DNC/Marxist cabal manufactures the votes anyway, and reps from the Repugnant Party are silent/complicit.
She wasn’t pregnant but she had a seven year old at home with her. He broke into her home with three others and George held her at gunpoint.
No, he got exactly what he deserved. Lived his life like a thug, and died while O.D'ing on Fentanyl. A politician or party that worships thugs deserves to meet the same fate.
