That is who you will have as the face of your cause?



This was easy to find from the Harris County Clerk's Office

Aggregated Assault with a deadly weapon

Multiple arrests for cocaine possession

Multiple thefts

Dude did not deserve to die on that day. I can also see where cops would run his information, see his record, and immediately go into a more proactive mode to secure his compliance.

At some points in life, your past matters.

people will hate what I'm about to say, but this man meant so much more in death than he ever meant in life.

Doesn't matter. Chauvin still murdered him while handcuffed.

So people can't rehabilitate themselves and become better people? Do you have any more recent records? Seems after he served his 5 year sentence he committed himself to being a better person. Don't believe he's had any arrests since he moved to MN in 2014.

He was killed begging for mercy and his mom on the street by the government

it's pretty fricked

Now the fact that BLM still uses Michael Brown as a martyr - that's bizarre

If cops can't deal with already restrained civilians, even with past criminal history, without killing them - then they shouldn't be cops. It's pretty simple.

I don't care if he was a serial killer with 100 bodies to his name - once he was in handcuffs and on the ground knocked the frick out he didn't pose a threat at all.

Shitty cops that wanted to defy the onlookers and let them know they were the ones in charge.

What the hell? Who gives them the right to stop him right before he was about to hit double digits?

That SHOULD BE the real message

As you all see, that opportunity for reform has been hijacked by other interests

He was a piece of shite for sure, but there are others that even white people consider "heroes" that have a checkered past.

I forgot that someone with a GED and over 10 excessive force complaints is allowed to be judge, jury, and executioner because a guy has a criminal past.

there is a bit of a difference in perception between having a criminal past and being in and out of prison for 15 years

See, this is where you look like a hypocrite

You were in that other thread supporting high school and middle school kids being doxxed for their social media posts, effectively ruining their college careers - but you will be the first in line to say a violent felon had changed his ways and was a good man.

And I agree with Pettifrogger - Chauvin deserves every bit of the charges he has. The way Floyd died was horrible. But it is ridiculously hypocritical for you to be holding the positions you do on when a person is “rehabbed.”

So the only thing he accomplished in life is dying on camera? Pretty low bar to get 3 massive public funerals and millions of dollars spent on memorial shite.

I really believe this is what happened and if nobody was paying attention George would still be alive today. Those people should be charged

Bring some sense to all of this.....


GF did his time. He wasn't an angel. He didn't deserve to be killed.

Police Officer, should have been fired long ago by a corrupt mis-managed democratic led local government. Strangely enough the same peeps that now want to tell us how we need to re-structure law enforcement.

The story has been corrupted by Political Forces to bucket people that cannot think in anything more than DUALITIES right before an important election.

The whole thing stinks.
