Every social media outlet, work, church, you name it, I am surrounded by people lamenting racism in the US after George Floyd passed away.
Did anyone watch the video that could see it was clearly based on race? I did not watch the video because abuse of power/authority has always been something I’ve disliked. I’ve also done grappling and anytime I see a choke applied too long I absolutely cringe. I didn’t watch George’s video because I couldn’t.
I’m serious, to those who’ve watched the video, did his death appear like it was brought on by the fact he was black or did every Karen in America decide they’re going to fight the power because of the news? If it’s not the latter then please excuse me because I’m a little jaded after countless non issues that brought the country to turmoil because they were flipped in a racial issue.
Pray for our country and pray for George’s family.
It had nothing to do with race.
He died of a heart attack while high on fentanyl. He would of died regardless of all the police treated him.
That seems like a bit of a stretch. The cop was kneeling on his neck for like 8 minutes so that must have done a significant amount of damage to him as well.
He was already claiming he couldnt breath before he was even on the ground. Also a knee to the back of the neck doesnt suffocate. Multiple people have tested this and have confirmed you cant suffocate someone that way.
Considering the fact that they knew each other beforehand, probably not. I mean the cop doesn't have a racist past at all, but who knows. It's possible, but not likely.
The guy who killed him and George knew each other. Maybe a personal issue? Who knows?
No proof of that whatsoever.
Maybe ... Maybe not ... but I would like to point out that the mainstream media conveniently left out that George Floyd was a thug who had multiple felonies and who spent 5+ years in jail .... also beat a pregnant woman and had several burglary/robbery charges. Among many others -- and was on Meth the day he died.
-- No one should be chanting his name. Chant David Dorn or use another example ...
This guy was a criminal. What happened was terrible and police brutality is certainly a thing ..,.. but people are acting like this guy was some sort of Hero ... he was a low life thug -- who doesn't deserve his name to be chanted like it is right now.
Why not chant the white woman who died from the cop last month ... oh wait .... don't even think it was mentioned in the media.
One thing about racial motives are that unless the guy openly admits he killed Floyd because he's black, we just cannot know. That would take a mind-reading ability that no one has. It can't be seen on video.
However, I'd definitely want to examine the relationship Floyd and the cop had, because apparently they worked together? At a place that was apparently the source of some counterfeiting operation? (I read this somewhere and don't know if it's true, so take it with a few grains of fake news-fortified salt). But Floyd was arrested for trying to pass of a counterfeit Jackson? If these details are true, then the circumstances suggest it was a hit job to keep Floyd from exposing the cop's potential involvement in a counterfeiting operation. It would seem quite fishy at the very least. Doesn't scream "racial" though.
Agreed. It would take a mind reader yet work, social media and religious institutions all seem to be droning racism like they have this all figured out and in the bag and no ones saying anything contrary.
