Hmmm just like in Communist countries where they pup up statues of their communist heroes.

Take down a democrats statue because he's a confederate, put up another democrats statue because he's a criminal. Why it all makes sense.

Regarding fake money, everyone in retail knows that fake money unknowingly get passed around by people all the time. There was never any charge or trial regarding this because, you know, he was murdered before any investigation went into this accusation.

Regarding fentanyl overdose, do you have some kind of earth shattering new info on this that could help Chauvin overturn the guilty verdict? Thanks in advance.
Is it a requirement to be naively gullible in order to be a liberal? The Politifact article does not say that George Floyd did not hold up a woman at gunpoint. It simply says that a photo purporting to be of the victim of his assault is in fact not related to his assault.

We can debate the degree of culpability of the police officers until the cows come home. We can debate whether George Floyd deserved to die. But the fact that anyone, anywhere, thinks that he is worthy of a statue in his honor is a sign of severe moral decay.

The poster is practically claiming he has earth shattering info on this case that would prove Chauvin's innocence. An anonymous online forum is not the place to present this info. Take it to Chauvin's defense team.

Edit.

I noticed you ignored the other 2 things I mentioned. This is classic behavior of liars when confronted about their lies.

I have family members who own retail stores. They tell me fake bills get used by unsuspecting people all the time. So, even if the accusation was true, GF was never given a chance to defend himself because, you know, your hero cops murdered him.
Again. Have you seen the video? It's clear that he was high. The medical examiner said there was a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system. Or are you just going to keep ignoring my statements in an attempt to attack my character?

Good spot for pidgeons to deficate. Still unsure what race had to do with it other than the savage response.

We erect statues of people because we believe that they are worthy of being honored. When a little boy or girl sees the statue of George Floyd, and asks for what he is being honored, what shall we say? Whether or not he deserved to die is one thing, but whether or not he deserves a statue is something entirely different.

Please know I am just a lowly business owner and have nothing to do with this legal case. You claim to have earth shattering evidence that would get your hero Chauvin off the hook. I am not the person for you to bring this evidence to as I have no power at all to do anything about this. Take it to Chauvin's legal defense team. Every conservative in the country will thank you for bringing this earth shattering new evidence to light so their hero Chauvin can be freed.

What conservatives think Chauvin is a "hero?"

Please elaborate.

Thanks.

Another strawman argument.

We regularly honor victims as well. GF did not deserve to be murdered on the street. Absolutely no one has said he was a roll model of any kind. But everyone recognizes he was a victim and if nothing else an unintended hero for change to the institutionalized brutality that whole segments of the population endure.

For example, there are many statues and memorials of wartime victims. I'm sure some of those honored weren't exactly saints. But how they were as people do not negate their status as victims. And they were unintended heroes by being part of the body of evidence of crimes against humanity that brought about international action toward a better future.

In other words, how someone as a person has no bearing on their status as victims of crimes. If someone stabs you and IF you happen to be a POS, rest assured I will not argue that you are not a victim solely because you're a POS.
