"Are you saying that George Floyd was a thug?" Are you saying he WASN'T?

Here is why the left controlled media has lost ALL semblance of being un biased.

This info has been available since this started. The FACT you know nothing of his past says all that is needed to know about the media.

"COURT DOCUMENTS: George Floyd Profile Reads Like A Career Criminal"

"Floyd had moved to Minneapolis after being released from Texas prison for aggravated robbery. He was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of arrest. He went to jail for atleast 5 times and a look at George Floyd’s profile as per court documents reads like a career criminal involved in drug abuse, theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery as well as entering a woman’s home and pointing a gun at her stomach while looking for drugs and money."

"George Floyd’s Criminal Past
  • 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 for atleast 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
"Floyd along with another suspect posed as a worker for the local water department wearing a blue uniform in order to enter a woman’s house. When the woman retaliated a Ford Explorer pulled up to the home and five other males exited the car and went up to the front door.



The report states the largest of the group, who the victim later identified as Floyd, ‘forced his way inside the residence, placed a pistol against the complainant’s abdomen, and forced her into the living room area of the residence.
‘This large suspect then proceeded to search the residence while another armed suspect guarded the complainant, who was struck in the head and sides by this second armed suspect with his pistol while she screamed for help.’

I don't know what news media you have been watching, but the ones I've been watching have been talking about his past. I haven't seen anyone try to make him out to be some angel or saint. In fact, the only people I have seen who even brought up the saint thing are you people, the right wingers.

I'm an ex cop. You don't put a guy in handcuff on his stomach for that long while kneeling on his person. I went through 6 months of the academy and they drilled into us to roll them on their side. In fact, they taught us to stay the hell away from the neck when you're restraining them.

We all know Floyd wasn't a saint. Far from it. We all know he's got a criminal past. But we have this thing called the law. Just because a person has a criminal past doesn't mean their life doesn't matter. Get this through your thick skull.

What they went after him for was also ridiculous. There are so many counterfeit bills in circulation that most people who have them use them inadvertently without even knowing it. I personally know many shop and restaurant owners. They tell me they get fake bills all the time. It's always the same story. When they check and it is fake, the person using it would be very very surprised. They have no idea they got a fake bill and become very apologetic. It is such a common occurrence that nobody calls the cops. Usually, it's just "hey this bill is fake" and the person would be like "oh, I'm sorry here is another 20 see if it's real".

There has been no indication at all that Floyd knew his bill was fake. They shouldn't have treated this any differently than any other time when a fake bill was found.

The Onion called it when they asked how do we want to resolve overpopulation. One option is everyone gets a shotgun.

Problem is, the people who never encounter police, have a great time because they generally are good people. Get a ticket and done, The problem is.. certain people, are always running into cops, give no crap about consequences, and feel they should never have an issue for their actions.

Those individuals get shot dead, and then entire communities riot saying - outrage!

They are **** people who honestly deserve to die, Floyd was no loss of worth of life. He was garbage.
