George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.
Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.
He changed the world.
Now, let's act in his memory.

“Floyd’s killer was a bad cop. “
BS. He did nothing wrong and followed department procedures. You democrats have talking points to support the criminal George Floyd and hang the cop, it let you idiots riot.
He did not kill him. You cannot kill a man by putting your knee where Chauvin did. Even if he had SAT on him, his 150 pounds would not have done the job. And if the CROWD hadn’t prevented the ambulance from arriving, they would have saved him - maybe.
It is also possible that with his heart condition and drugs, NOTHING could have saved him.
So you SAY. I’m 77 and have worked in law enforcement most of my life. I’m saying I don’t believe it. Deal with that.
Well Joe’s second favorite drug addict is George Floyd, his favorite is his pampered son, Hunter.
Maybe the criminal loser wouldn’t have died that day IF HE HADN’T INGESTED A LOT OF FENTYNL.
It is surprising how a few people insist on the thin blue line to the detriment of all officers; then, instead of discussing things rationally, devolve to insults and namecalling. For those previously or now in law enforcement, maybe you are defending the officer because you have done the same or worse in your own past?
If he wanted to be alive so damn much perhaps he shouldn’t have taken the contents of a small pharmacy.

Floyd Jones or Georger Smith or whatever his name was...
How soon until Memorial Day or Easter will become George Jones Day ???
After all someone said the other day that Floyd Smith died for us all...
BTW Joe missed an opportunity to say that his son Beau also died of an overdose of Fentanyl and Meth...
Officer David Dorn should be alive. He deserved so much more.
Floyd is no hero, and he may have died anyway had he not been arrested. But the officers on the scene didn’t handle it well at all, IMO, and Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s neck. There are plenty of pictures and videos that show that. My understanding is that that’s a tactic taught by the Minneapolis police department, so technically Chauvin may have been following protocol. But Floyd was already subdued at the time. He was flat on the ground, face down with his hands cuffed behind his back and showing no resistance. On the contrary. He was becoming unresponsive.
Back to the fentanyl issue. He supposedly had enough in his blood stream to kill him, and maybe that’s true. But it’s worth pointing out that he was behaving normally when he was first approached by officers. Once he was on the ground and not resisting, keeping a knee on his neck certainly couldn’t have helped, if he was experiencing respiratory distress. And it was totally unnecessary to do at that point.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m against the lionization of Floyd. He was a thug with a long criminal history. But in this instance he was being approached about a counterfeit bill, not a violent act. It’s possible he didn’t even know it was counterfeit. IMO the police handled it poorly from the start, starting with the initial officer who was overly aggressive IMO, when Floyd was not being hostile. When an officer points a gun at you, it’s going to be upsetting. That’s understandable. Once Floyd was cuffed, he was no longer a threat. There was no need to force him in the squad car immediately. They could have had him sit on the sidewalk for a few minutes to regain his composure. It was poorly handled. Maybe not criminally so. But poorly handled.

What a bastard Biden is. Any way he can divide us.
I’ve watched the tape.
At no time did I see a choke hold or a knee on the part of
Floyd’s neck, where his carotid artery was located. His
knee was on the back of his neck, keeping more weight on
the top part of the body, impacting the tipping point. He
was therefore not able to get back on his feet.
As usual, they put the cops out on the street and ask them
to do a job. Anything goes wrong and all their support
people back at the command station start with the cover
their own ass comments.
A dealer in illegal drugs, passing counterfit bank notes, assaulting police. I am sure there is more, help me out.
The current judgement of the officers are, Floyd’s death was
not caused by the officers actions, but for the good of
this Leftist nation, they are still guilty.
I agree. I lost a cousin in Vietnam, where we should never have been and a nephew in Iraq, where we never should have been.
and praises a criminal low life drug addict!
he deserved about half a magazine emptied into his worthless body.
