They should have never got on his neck in the first place.  He's handcuffed and on the ground and not resisting with four armed officers around.  They failed to do their job properly and it's really sad.

He was just buying cigs using a fake 20.00 bill. Maybe he knew it was fake maybe not. Not worth dying for. The looting has nothing to do with people  who feel bad about the incident.  They are  using it to get free stuff.

George Floyd having a less than stellar record is irrelevant, the optics are really bad.  George stopped moving at 6 minutes & they remained on him for another 3 minutes.

His autopsy was released yesterday, he was positive for Covid-19, he had more than enough drugs in him to cause an OD. 
>Compound Result Units Matrix
>Caffeine Positive mcg/mL
>Cotinine Positive ng/mL
>4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL
>11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL
>Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL
>Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL
>Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL
>Fentanyl 11 ng/mL
>Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL
>Cannabinoids Presump Pos ng/mL
>Amphetamines Presump Pos ng/mL
>Fentanyl / Metabolite Presump Pos ng/mL
>Morphine - Free 86 ng/mL


The average amount of Fentanyl that causes an OD is around 9.

Additionally, George had no damage to his neck according to the autopsy report.


There are a lot of variables in play -- including that the police officer Chauvin & George Floyd knew each other.

I do know one thing for sure. The police officer should have gotten off his neck when he said he couldn't breath, even if that was some sort of protocol to hold him down that way, the man stopped moving at 6 minutes.  It is so heart breaking to watch that video.

Apparently, the police in Minneapolis were specifically trained that way on how to immobilize a person.
They failed to do their job properly when they remained on him when he was in distress instead of contacting paramedics.

So many people will dig for something that doesn't mean a thing.  4 cops killed this man, that is the bottom line. There are just too many cops out there who needs to be fired because their lack of a moral compass.  Also with them being cowards, and racist.

George Floyd a 'violent criminal' he's been involved in three police shootings



Hi! :D :)

Yes I believe what was done to George Floyd was very wrong. He should still be here and all the protest should have never been. However no one know for certain it was a race issue. When someone say they can't breath listen and get off their neck no matter there color. We all should move away from racism and take each other as is. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

When he said he could not breathe they should have listened to him. Depending on which source you listen to one autopsy said he had a heart attack.  Which would cause trouble breathing.  Even if they thought he was lying they should have listened. Call paramedics and then take him on to jail after he is checked out.  If he was already cuffed then why not just sit him in the back of the car or go on to the jail. I do not think his intention was murder. It is clear from previous incidents he was a bully.  I think that is what he was doing this time as well.  Things just went too far. But I do not think he set out to kill the man.  Esp not in front of a huge crowd and with multiple videoing.

Something I read said that cops in that city are trained to basically use excessive force.

Hi! :) :D

Yes I agree I definitely didn't think his murder was supposed to happen at all. I'm sure George Floyd didn't say today I'm going to hand over a bad cash and get killed today. Nevertheless that is exactly what happened. No he was not a saint but he deserves to be allowed to make mistakes and live through them. This is a sad story for everyone, everyone loses. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:
