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.

EVERYTHING ANY LIEberal says is full of “. . . full of BS lies and falsities!”
Where I live, there are NO street lights of any kind.
Lots of Barn Lights-—NO STREET LIGHTS-—OR SIDEWALKS.
WE LIKE IT THAT WAY.
There ALWAYS is a thread of the facts which Joe & Dems cannot follow.
EVERY report I read at the time clearly said she was pregnant & that he had the muzzle of the gun against her belly
HAS ANY COMPETENT AMERICAN VOTER FIGURED OUT YET THAT CLEAN ELECTIONS MATTER????
The only worthwhile “gun reform” would be repealing all of the tens of thousands of “gun control” laws currently infesting the law-books of this Great Republic.
But that isn’t what he means.
When a leftist is talking, “[whatever] reform” always involves increasing the power of government and depriving the people of life, liberty, or property.
RODNEY KING WAS SPREAD -EAGLED ON HIS BACK-—AFTER & DIFFERENT POLICE GROUPS FINALLY CAUGHT HIM.
HE WAS DRIVING 105 MPH ON THE 210 FREEWAY IN A YUGO!!!!
HE HAD 4 LARGE COPS HOLDING DOWN HIS ARMS & LEGS & HE STILL MANAGED TO THROW THEM OFF LIKE RAG DOLLS.
HE WAS COMPLETELY HIGH ON PCP.
IMO-—YOU ARE TOTALLY CORRECT.
DEREK CHAVIN HAS BEEN WRONGLY ACCUSED & CONVICTED
I have questions. I'd love to hear Mark Levin's take on these executive orders.
Might this over-centralize authority?
Is there room for abuse of authority? Double jeopardy and lawsuit abuse potential?
7 different police groups——
I am of the opinion that the most effective way to end the careers of abusive police officers is to 1) End qualified immunity, 2) Require all police officers to carry $1 Million dollar lability policy and 3) Require that all complaints of misconduct be submitted to a centralized database.
Gun reform. As letting violent criminals like Floyd have unarmed victims like the pregnant woman he robbed. Disgusting such a chomo is president and a thug like Saint Fentanyl is the new idol.
He wants us just as defenseless as those doomed Israelis.
He wants us just as defenseless as those doomed Israelis.
The police report was posted online and the facts were different. Either way guilty as hell.
Ask the American Indian how that worked out for them!
“What does “gun reform” have to do with George Floyd? Maybe if the “reform” made guns less available to career criminals, but when has it done that?”
It’s never been about “gun reform” or “lowering crime”. Never.
It’s all about disarming America, and complete control over us, our actions and soon, our thoughts. CBDC is coming next year, stoves-fridges-AC units-furnaces-fireplaces etc etc are not far from mandatory regulation, ICE vehicles will be replaced by EV crap, and on and on and on.
HE ALSO ISN’T FLOYD.
Yes.
