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.

——career petty criminal, druggie and lowlife thug——
And, a shining representative of Black America
Bingo the fact don’t lie
Years ago there were six murders in a large city. No guns involved. The chief of Police immediately called for more GUN CONTROL to combat the situation.
That is the stupidity citizens are dealing with.
And remember the gun control demands cam about when President John Kennedy(1963), murdered by a commie, and Presidential Candidate Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant in 1968.
The only thing that separates George Floyd, from any other dead junky, is the pay-day. The black communities are afflicted with an amoral sense of life, value, and self-worth, and it certainly isn’t the fault of white people. Much of the problem originates from a generational existence inside the government welfare state.
And he’s taking his civic duty of voting quite seriously.
The George floyd “murder” is the biggest freaking lie I’ve seen in my lifetime aside from the lie of “man-caused climate change”
Everything abput the case was a freaking lie- ne died from an overdose- the cops did NOT have his knee on his neck restricting his breathing at any point- yet the left have bs’d the world i to beleiv8ng that a racist cop saw an opportunity to murder a black man and took it.
Everything about blm is based on lies- all the causes that they espouse were nothing but twisted facts to fit a narrative. Even their lie about “systemic racism” in the police community is a freaking lie- only 2 black men were killed unjustifiably (and the cops,invovled were prosecuted and found guilty) during the whole of 2019 while 54 cops were murdered by criminal punks.
To,have just 2 black folks killed unjustifiably after millions and millions of arrests nationwide, many of which are very violent perps resisting arrest, is a testament to just how careful the cops are to avoid racism!
“Talk about suck-up.....Biden is desperate.....he’s losing enormous numbers of the black vote to Trump.”
It’s so sad when liberals toss names into a political move like Floyd’s for a purpose. Especially when guns had nothing to do with his death. And they all get behind this stupidity as gospel to the point of stupidity. Right out of Alinsky’s playbook which plays to the weak in thought.

Maybe he should be calling for fentanyl control. That’s what killed “Saint” George.
Really really stupid move politically. BLM etc are done in the Black community. Since 2020 they helped themselves to the money and done nothing for average blacks. The Black community is fed up with them.
Violence in the streets in 2020 hurt Trump berceuse he was the incumbent. Violence in the streets, aka mass looting, riots pretending to be protest etc, will hurt Biden in 2024 because he is the incumbent
A little discussed fact is that the coroner was bullied into changing his cause of death ruling from overdose to strangulation. If the cop can get a retrial this could help him.
Now that is funny!!
Yep. The lawyer for Chauvin did an excellent job proving that at no point was chauvin’s knee on the neck of floyd, and that everything g that was done was done to protocol, but the corrupted jury who,was intimidated by blm members and by governors as well in some cases, into voting guilty, sent an innocent man to prison for 27 years-
F,oyd was speaking g clearly and distinctly the whole time he was on the ground right upto the point that the drugs killed him. This would have been impossible for him To do IF chauvin’s knee was cutting off his air supply! His clear speaking alone was proof that Chauvin did not choke off his air at any point, but the lawter provided video evidence and audio proving that point so well that only a corrupted juror could still think floyd was deprived of air
Darn it, next year, I'm going to have a Criminal George Floyd 51st Birthday Looting and Sale Celebration at my friend's Auto dealership. I'm glad he has a Cadillac dealership. Steal one car, get another free!!🤓
That’s true.
It’s just weird, because George Floyd was a career criminal whose death did not involve guns. Maybe Joe Biden believes he was “an innocent victim of gun violence.”
It didn’t turn out so good for ordinary Israeli citizens, but no government bureaucrats were harmed and what’s more important? Ordinary citizens’ lives or the ability of bureaucrats to issue edicts without fear of any resistance. Same here, filth like Biden and his fellow accomplices in the civilian disarmament industry not only don’t care if you have no means to defend yourself, but actually WANT you to be killed.
Guns are a threat to thier coup regimes
Yep. The cop got railroaded by a kangaroo court. Sad. Hope he gets a retrial.
Me too- Blm and ilk were threatening massive protests and personal attacks during hte trial- im not sure how that can be prevented again- but i pray that he get a retrial
FENTANYL KILLED GEORGE FLOYD.
NOT A GUN
THIS MAN IS “LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD”?????
