Yes! George was trying to murder the police! It was self defense.
We don't know what happened inside that car. It looked like a struggle. In the case of Michael Brown who is named in the mural, he tried to go for the officer's gun. But of course, the media wants you to believe Brown was this sweet angel.
If a white person had done that, they would get shot too. Common sense. Not racism.
The genius of his death is that a racist goon like Al Sharpton can get up, have George Floyd's family give him their blessing to spew the most racist, divisive garbage we have ever heard ("THE BLACK MAN HAS ALWAYS HAS THE WHITE MAN'S KNEE ON THEIR NECK") and no one can call his absolutely horrifically divisive and racist garbage out for what it is.
Tucker can't call it out on his show - lest he be seen as disrespecting Floyd, nor can most anyone else. If there is a Hell, Al Sharpton belongs there.
And I watched NBC nightly news roast Trump as their top story last night for daring to suggest that Floyd may be saying something from heaven. Yet Sharpton does the exact same thing at the funeral, putting words in George's mouth and it is praised and applauded.
The double standard is just infuriating. Of course, NBC couldn't give Trump any praise for a good economy report. I loathe the liberal media so much now.

Doesn't matter what was going on in the car, but it does make me think no cop should have tinted windows.
Apparently Floyd was no angel. Does not matter.
Cops don't get to play judge and jury. If you do your job in such a way that someone dies on your watch, there are consequences. Cops shouldn't get a pass for that just because they're cops.
I don't think it's necessary or even proper to honor George Floyd in his own right.
But that's irrelevant. Whatever he did five years ago is irrelevant to this issue.
The police didn't know Floyd's past. They would have done that to me just as well.
The police DID know Floyd's past. Chauvin knew Floyd from when they worked together. And even if they didn't they found out how violent he was when Floyd resisted arrest by struggling when they put him in the car. They are trained to subdue criminals and that's what Chauvin was doing. The death was accidental. They shouldn't be able to get a murder conviction, especially with the autopsy saying it was a heart attack that killed Floyd.

Your theory that the "cause of death" (which is also exhaustively explained in the video) were his comorbidities is disproved.
But the cops did not know about the comorbidities. All they know was that a suspect was resisting arrest and they were attempting to subdue him.
So in one instance, the picture we are painted is that George is like a superman, able to take on 4 cops and is a threat to all 4 of them.
In another instance, we are painted that George is a very weak person with a bad heart, close to death and is why the cops are able to kill him so easily......
Chauvin and the other cops won't live to be tried. First rule of assassinations is to kill the assassin.
