Floyd died in Minneapolis, but the family is originally from Houston. Philonise Floyd was hoping to raise $1.5 million to pay for the family's considerable legal and travel expenses as well as to help support and educate Floyd's children. Philonise Floyd says that 100% of the money collected will go to the family and that it is being managed by the family's law firm.
At the same time, George Floyd's younger sister, Bridgett Floyd, also launched a GoFundMe campaign. She was hoping to raise $5,000 to help her pay for traveling and other expenses associated with his memorial. That fund had raised over $262,000 and counting as well.
Never let anything in life prevent you from cashing in.
18 brutality complaints against Chauvin. at least 2 shootings. Amy Klobichar declined to indict him in a previous case where he killed a black man.
Minn has a problem
I heard that case involved a man who had just stabbed someone and was charging at the cops.
In that case, there was probably no reason to charge him.

Chauvin was accused of shooting a man who had stabbed other people before attacking police in October 2006, among other undisclosed complaints, according to Yahoo! News.
Klobuchar did not prosecute Chauvin and the other officers involved, the Washington Times reports. The case was under investigation when Klobuchar joined the Senate in January 2007. It later went to a grand jury which declined to charge the officers in 2008, reports state.

It's gotten to the point that any high profile figure or corporation that does not state platitudes on social media about George Floyd, racism, BLM, etc., are criticized as 'unfeeling' monsters.
New York Knicks owner James Dolan is getting criticized left and right because he dared to not say anything about Floyd.
So obviously some feel pressured to say something to show they 'care.' All these celebrity fakes spouting off about racism and donating to different groups is a sight to behold. One day they are experts on coronavirus, now they are 'leaders' against racism.
According to legend, French soldier Nicolas Chauvin was badly wounded in the Napoleonic Wars. He received a pension for his injuries but it was not enough to live on. After Napoleon abdicated, Chauvin was a fanatical Bonapartist despite the unpopularity of this view in Bourbon Restoration France. His single-minded blind devotion to his cause, despite neglect by his faction and harassment by its enemies, started the use of the term.[2] Chauvinism has extended from its original use to include fanatical devotion and undue partiality to any group or cause to which one belongs
Chauvinism is a form of extreme patriotism and nationalism and a belief in national superiority and glory. It can also be defined as "an irrational belief in the superiority or dominance of one's own group or people".
It's a bit risky to go for murder 1, but I'd vote to convict if I was on the jury. I think murder 2 is much safer.
The difference being it's easier to just prove intent than to prove intent and premeditation.
I hope you never serve on a jury. It will be difficult to get 3rd-degree murder in this case. Manslaughter is more realistic. I don't have all of the facts—none of us do. But, I find it implausible that anyone intended for Floyd to die.
