The only goal you have with your “issue” is to de-humanize George Floyd to lessen the impact of his murder
It’s deflection 101 for the people who constantly want to defend these murders by the police.

Black America caters to the lowest denominator. When a repeat criminal dies at the hands of LE, it’s blamed on whites. Let’s ignore the fact that he had been jailed 5 times previously and was currently under the influence of drugs. Floyd did NOT deserve to die. Floyd did, however, constantly put his life in the hands of LE through a series of poor choices.
No other race or ethnicity does this. Do Jews use Go Fund Me to bail other Jews out of jail when they commit crimes? Do they take to the streets?
Since black lives matter, where are the protests for David Dorn? We had an upstanding black citizen lose his life, because people were protesting the unjust killing of someone who was NOT an upstanding black citizen. Somewhere in this is tons of irony.
George Floyd was not a good person. I bet the pregnant woman who had a gun pointed at her belly would agree. If you want to riot because of unjust killing, fine. I just wish the community would make someone else a martyr, and not a criminal.

It doesn't at all. And the cop must pay dearly for what he did.
But the same system that many claim is so hard and unfair to black people had him out of prison after 5 short years for violently forcing his way into a woman's home and pressing a gun into a woman's stomach. He had five accomplices and one of those accomplices pistol whipped her while he was searching the home for valuables. The sad truth is that this guy should have been in prison for a LONG time, but was out after just 5 short years.

Because not glorifying him is somehow "dehumanizing".
Your all or nothing perspective is not capable of entertaining a discussion. Your absolutism is why you fail in this thread.

And what about the white people and white cops killed by law breaking blacks???????

As long as whitey didn’t do it, no they wouldn’t care.

One of the biggest issues in our criminal justice system is inequality in sentencing.
Floyd was involved in a 5 man, home invasion robbery. That's on the record. Also, it was not his first felony. He served 5 years.
I know a guy who had no prior criminal history and was part of a 3 man armed robbery, home invasion. If you laid both cases side by side, they are nearly identical. Except, we need to replace Floyd with my friend, who literally looks like your average white guy, and swap the young pregnant black female for an elderly, well-to-do white couple.
My friend received 75 years. No prior criminal history, outside of some speeding tickets and college drinking issues. The two guys with him were black, and they both received similar sentences.
You see, the victims of their crimes were pillars of the community. Floyd's victim was a black woman with no standing, probably little money. Truth be told, that victim faced injustice due to whatever reason you want to point to. Another truth is, that if the system weren't so completely broken, Floyd would have still been safe and sound in prison today.
**I edited this post to change the sentence from 72 to 75 years. I mistakenly put the wrong sentence.**

Love how you mental freaks ALWAYS without fail, look into someone’s past the first chance you get to sky scream that “well, he had it coming/deserved it in the end/was always a bad apple/never reformed/etc.”
Or pointing out the violence of black men and showing why they get into these situations with officers. How many unarmed black men have been killed by cops this year that were not assaulting the officer? How many black men were murdered by civilian black men?
That will give you the answer of why they have different outcomes and why people dont follow along with BLM when they refuse to take any responsibility.
And this shows that he got the absolute minimum sentence for a crime as a black man. That goes against the entire premise of systemic racism. he got off easy for that particular crime.

All I did was point out inequality in sentencing. And, make a point that if judges and DAs in crime-ridden areas weren't all overworked and understaffed they wouldn't be giving sweetheart deals to violent felons to avoid having to work on a case. Which means today that a young, black female would still feel safe in her home and Floyd would still be safe and sound and alive in prison.

What the frick are you talking about? This board is still very much he didn’t deserve to die even though he’s a piece of shite

You’re missing the point. There are much better cases for the media to flame if they were interested in an honest debate. Yet they picked this one because it’s an election year.

No one is trying to justify what Chauvin did. Like NO ONE on earth is defending the cop’s behavior. It’s the cases that the media chooses to enflame (and the ones they don’t) that’s in question here.

Then what was the point of the OP?
Can you provide an example of what you are talking about? What is an incident of excessive police violence that you would deem acceptable for the media to make an example of?

So again I ask—what would be an acceptable case of unnecessary police violence for “the media” to point out?

I'm sorry, but I don't believe not glorifying equals dehumanizing.
I can't imagine a single person not wanting Chauvin to receive the full extent of the law for his actions.
I understand how you could perceive that, but I believe this discussion helps us understand the justice system.
I like how one poster brought up a friend with a similar crime and how he received a much harsher sentence.
