Actually this site is full of people that when a black person is killed they scour the internet to dig up all the negative information they can (even when its misinformation) about the person to justify their life being taken.
floyds past is absolutely irrelevant as far as him being murdered goes. That scumbag cop has no right to murder him even if Floyd was the worst person on earth.
But when people try to portray Floyd as a hero, which is absolutely absurd then his past absolutely should be relevant. He's a murder victim not a hero. His murder was terrible but he's no hero. A career criminal and deadbeat dad does not become a hero because he got murdered. With that said people using his past trying to justify his murder are dead wrong.
Eric Gardener was also murdered. People tried to use his past as a justification for his murder which is completely wrong.
Thank god I can retire. Getting paid to be judged by fools is no longer financially worth it. Especially since you'll still be paying me but I will be able to say and do whatever I want!
So no, I don't support some of the protests if they are combining issues like that. Black Lives Matter - yes. Abolish the Police - no.
Black Lives Matter - NO! A thousand times NO!
What's sad is that the overwhelming number of leftists, in the corporate world, the media, politicians, are lauding a group which is radical, violent, racist, and anti-Semitic! Why the hell do so many leftists support a gang which such heinous characteristics? Characteristics which the left denounces immediately when they are exhibited in groups with which the left does not identify? The left is kissing the feet of these hatemongers. Here in NY DeBlasio is painting Black Lives Matter in huge letters on streets all over the city. And renaming streets in their honor. All with tax payers money.
I find this hypocrisy abhorrent. And very dangerous. I pray for this country if the Dems take control. BLM will have an open invitation to the Whitehouse.

When looking at the video, Eric Gardener was an accidental death. Floyd was murder. I always asked myself if the officer was kneeling on his neck how come Floyd didn't use his legs to reposition his body or fight back on the verge of death. Then I read the article that another officer was holding his legs and another his back while the other officer was kneeling on his neck.
How's that defund the police stuff working out for the Floyds?
No but seriously, it's sad that she was shot, but let's not pretend like the woke garbage from the Great Awokening of 2020 isn't to blame at least in part.
