He did not deserve to die like that.

Doesn't matter. He was still killed.

This has little relevance to how he was handled that day.

He’s basically a huge piece of shite but he didn’t deserve to die like that


Both can be true

Dude was a p.o.s just like Rodney King was a p.o.s just Michael Brown was a p.o.s

The cops need to be held accountable for what they did but if you get into a physical fight with a cop then you might get shot, choked out, or a beatdown

You can’t kill people with impunity, that’s illegal homes.

We can separate the two issues.

1. George Floyd is not a person we should be celebrating at all.

2. That officer never should have had his knee on his neck at all, but definitely not for anywhere near that amount of time.


Also these “protests” have no real purpose because the officer has been fired and is under arrest and will have a trial so as usual, this is not about the victim anymore.

So

After he was handcuffed he should have been transported to jail instead of having a policeman kneel on his neck for 10+ minutes.

We know Floyd was a bad guy, but police are paid to handle bad guys within the law. Understand?

Pretty sure the cop that murdered him was a well documented piece of shite. That matters a lot more than what the dead guy did back when he was alive.

You still can’t kill him.

As a society, we only allow you to kill another person in the limited instance of self defense when your own life is in danger.

It doesn’t matter that George was a criminal, had done bad things in his past, was a jerk, was resisting arrest, etc. You can’t kill him.

Dude, I'm ultraconservative, but don't be a douche. Don't try to justify this. None of us know what happened and I want the legal system to play itself out, but don't spin "he was a bad guy and deserved it." That's lame.

So what I see is a few drug charges and some (relatively) minor offenses and armed robbery. The last of which was 10 years ago. I'm not condoning any of that, but that was 10 years ago for the last one. Is it possible that maybe he turned his life around?

We'll never know because he was murdered, but I haven't heard anything about him assaulting cops that were trying to detain him and the only thing I've seen of him, was him lying face down in handcuffs not harming anyone.

You can paint this how you want and try to justify it, but George Floyd was murdered. That won't change regardless of anything.
