George Floyd anniversary

[dryheat]

It's been one year. Seems like it was last month since it's all we hear about.

So, we have a petty criminal that passed a phoney $20 bill to buy cigarettes and when the casher went outside to confront him and get back the merchandise, Flpyd and his "friends" laughed and refused. The casher called the police. Rather than follow police instructions, Floyd chose to make a scene in the best Maxine Waters encouraged manner, resulting in his own forced takedown.

Granted, force was used to subdue Floyd, the extent was determined by Floyd himself by continued struggle. Once he was controlled, the force should have been modified.

So, let's not continue to hold this criminal in such high regard, when it is evident he caused his own problem with resulting in an unforseen outcome.

And that pretty much wraps it up.

It's 9 minutes of video, that when you know the story, how it started and how it ends, is almost impossible to watch. It's how he died, not how he lived, that got people seriously torqued off. Put another way, as flawed a human being as he was on that day, with a counterfeit bill and drugs in his system, the police were even worse. Unless and until people understand that point, they won't get any of it.

the police should have let him run,
he would have dropped dead in a block

They celebrated by more rioting and burning!
'Ol George died of illegal drug overdose not by a cop kneeling on him. If you can talk, your not being strangled!
