He was made a martyr by the police action (I don't think a lot of people choose that...) when they killed an unarmed black man in a manner that displayed intentional brute force. The cauldron of white police disproportionately taking action against black men (stop and frisk, pull overs, arrests without cause, being shot over 10 times while complying with orders) was lit by this action. And really. Kneeling on a man's neck until he suffocates with others standing there watching is an excellent example. They aren't protesting the death of this guy. There are using this incident as reflective of a larger problem of oppression and are protesting the actions of authority in general. Not just Floyd.

Yes. Protesting the abuses of power and corruption within the police force against black men. Didn't matter who it was, there was going to be a response. Reminiscent of the Rodney King riots back in the day.

You dont' get it tig. Antifa and various extremists were waiting for a chance to incite violence and divide. The death of Floyd gave them one.

Don't let them hide the message. That's what they're trying to do. Distract from the legitimate protests. Rodney King and other race oppression riots/protests have taken place outside of the current political climate. I'll give points for the looting riots, but there are legitimate protests happening around north America (some people have said world, but I doln't see it).

They Were not all white. In fact there was a person from almost every demographic.

And had it been any other cop sitting on his neck there would probably be a different conversation. Disproportional violence against the black community by the asian community isn't a thing. Black on white is the current issue. There are lots of other issues, but this is the current one and it fits with a longstanding narrative of white on black violence. Yes, it happens in other ways, but those are other conversations. And they should all be fired.

He most certainly did, contribute, to his fate.

If you don't want to come in contact with the police, DON'T COMMIT CRIMES!

Floyd was a criminal. His bad luck, that he ran into a bad cop.

He didn't deserve to die.

But, he brought it on himself. By passing bad bills.

I'm so sick of this, I'm sick!

Floyd was a bad person. No, he didn't deserve to die.

But, I wouldn't take a knee, to honor, that scum bag. No way, no how.

I will get on my knees, for My Lord.

No other.

Most certainly not, for a criminal. Ten times over.

Hell NO!

Not just passing counterfeit bills but everything else. Holding a gun to the pregnant belly of a female, drugs, dealing, list goes on. When one has such a rap sheet they will always be at the forefront of the cops and their looking for them to protect the community. yeah in the manner he died was horrible however if not high on drugs and had not committed the most recent crime he would still be alive.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I was just pointing to what brought him to his demise, IKWTDS.

The police, on the scene of his latest crime, probably wouldn't have known, his criminal history.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

In other words...if you don't want to have the police called on you...don't commit a crime!

After numerous times, in the rodeo...Floyd should have known better.

He spent plenty of time, in the slammer.

I guess, he learned, nothing. cry

That was my point too. I think we agree just talking over each other. However, I am sure he was known to the police and that had his number.
