George Flyod was not a good person and his life shouldn't be celebrated.

He had many convictions

George Floyd moved to Minneapolis in 2014 after being released from prison in Houston, Texas following an arrest for aggravated robbery.
On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a grocery store in Minneapolis.
He was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of arrest.
Floyd has more than a decade-old criminal history at the time of the arrest and went to jail at least 5 times.
George Floyd was the ringleader of a violent home invasion.

He plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records

Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in state jail for possession of cocaine in a December 2005 arrest

He had previously been sentenced to eight months for the same offense, stemming from an October 2002 arrest.
Floyd was arrested in 2002 for criminal trespassing and served 30 days in jail.
He had another stint for a theft in August 1998.

I think it's fucking embarrassing for the left to damage property and loot in the name of a career criminal who society is better off having dead than alive.
Ask the people he terrorised by burglarizing their property, likely the most vulnerable in society too. Ask the shopkeepers who have to deal with turning away a high/drunk man with fake notes...

Also pointing a gun at a defenceless person during a home invasion.

Anyone convicted of that should be put down at that stage or given an extremely long sentence.

There is literally no defence for that. Ruining someone's life. Taking all their stuff and making them fearful for life. Serving time does not undo the harm caused.

I personally know people who have had most of their valuables taken while at a funeral and their confidence has never been the same. They are afraid of leaving the house.
Yes, it is extreme to suggest that death is the right penalty for that crime. But honestly it's a fucked up crime to commit.

If you are that much of a cunt you got what was coming to you. Karma

He was kneeled on because he was being arrested for use counterfeit notes AGAIN.

If he wasn't a criminal he would be still alive.

If he didn't protest his arrest and being put in a police car he would be still alive.

actively resisted being handcuffed,” the statement reads. When the officers tried to bring Floyd to their cruiser, he “stiffened up, fell to the ground, and told the officers he was claustrophobic,” the report states.

Black lives don't matter any more than everyone else's lives. We are all equal and I'm sorry I don't have any pity for that dead drug addicted career criminal.

Black folk should focus on not killing each other all over the world before crying racism. Black on black violence is somehow swept under the carpet and should be addressed honestly.

In America how long more are you going to use slavery as an excuse for not prospering? Beating the same old drum.

"Pity me instead of let prove my worth to the world." If everyone in the world took responsibility for their own actions and aimed to be the best version of themselves there would be much less time to find someone else to blame for your problems.

If you actually make a fucking effort you'll find out other races in general aren't out to get you.

A good place to start is obey the law (all of it), get a job, education and if you have a family take responsibility for them too.

Don't get me wrong there are millions of admirable blacks in America but there are too many who choose to play a victim card for something that happened to somebody else many years ago.

Police shouldn't use lethal force unless absolutely necessary. And if they use lethal or non lethal force use your firearm for fuck's sake. Police should be trained on how to shoot to injure not kill or use a tazar instead of a gun.

The method of killing of George Flyod was unnecessary. I don't know if I believe they should be done for murder because if they shot him when he initially struggled they certainly wouldn't be done for murder. I don't think they can be police officers again but arresting a career criminal for effectively stealing from a store and the criminal dying isn't a tragedy.

There are racists in every race and these people should be found out and removed from any position of power or care of others. There are very few people who would disagree with that sentiment, black, white, brown, asian, native. No matter who you are if you aren't a cunt you don't want racists in charge or control of anything.

Moral of the story: Don't be a cunt your whole life and you probably won't be killed by police.

change my mind?
