Really?
It was witnessing this public execution that made the country sympathetic to BLM.

Witnesses in the crowd were yelling at them - telling them that Floyd wasn't breathing but the guy never moved for 9 minutes, kneeling on his neck; hands in his pockets, smirking at the crowd.

He might as well have whistled Dixie while he was at it.

I agree that the response from the Police was unacceptable and out of proportion to any threat.

But your melodramatic words and colorful rewriting of history does nothing to help.

ANTIFA & BLM want to put their knee on the neck of the George Floyd courthouse if they don't like the way a trial is going or the outcome !!! Apparently the left sees nothing wrong with that !!!

Agreed. Looks like they don't have much confidence in Biden's empty claims to unite the country or stop Antifa/BLM riots.

Murder must be premeditated so the cop won't be convicted of that, it also doesn't help that George Floyd was high on drugs at the time with a massively long rap sheet.

And it was witnessing the violence, arson, looting, and, yes.....multiple murders.....that made the country realize that BLM is a violent terrorist group designed to destroy the country. If they really cared about black lives, they would focus their attention on how 98% of black murders occur.

Nothing short of 1sr degree murder will satisfy the BLM terrorists. And Chauvin won’t be convicted of that.

BLM was so chomping at the bit to show how police murder black men that they jumped on a case involving a violent ex-con who was high on drugs. They should have waited until the police killed an innocent black man wih no criminal history. Problem was.....the election was coming, and it is so rare that the police kill a law-abiding black man (it’s rare that they kill criminal black men altogether), that they couldn’t afford to wait.

Don't forget the looting, it's like clockwork. I really feel sorry for any minority-owned small businesses in the local area. Waking up to realize it wasn't a pandemic lockdown, but a radical liberal during "peaceful protests" that destroyed your livelihood can't be a good feeling.
