    Is Floyd's past suppose to justify the cops murdering him?

    I agree 100 percent. What the left wing terrorist have done is use his death and use his family as a way to attack the country nation. His death by the govt in a left wing city was merely a tool

    It's not just about him, there are many names that folks are speaking of.
    What stereotypes has it fueled about the many young white folks that are at the same rallies and protests?

    He was a catalyst to jump start BLM again, just like Brown was a way to start BLM. His face is all over magazines. His name is attached permanently to the protests and riots. And sadly he was NOT someone to celebrate, unless a career thief, drug user and violent felon is someone to emulate.

    This is and will always be a lie about systemic racism and the misplaced theory that it’s dangerous to walk around as a Black person. Too bad that danger is directly connected to another Black person killing you, NOT anyone white and certainly not a cop. Or do we need to run the numbers again to see the ridiculously low chance one has to get shot by a police officer.

    And to this day Ive yet to see a logical and realistic explanation of what “equality” means. We already have equality of rights. We have already Ive equality under the law. But if equality means 50/50, that’s not equality. Since Black people can’t make up 50% of anything without it NOT being equal. Because you know, math. But then again math is racist too.

    It shined a light on an injustice that has been going almost as long as the country has been here.

    I don't believe most of the folks who are protesting believe Floyd is a hero. A martyr maybe for the BLM movement which is understandable. It's clear Floyd died a needless death. Floyd was handcuffed and posed no threat to the officers. 9 minutes is a long time to hold a man down with a knee on their neck.

    Police brutality and excessive force is used against more than just black people. The media only makes it front page news when it's white cop/black victim, so the majority of the public thinks it only happens in this manner.

    So, for instance, when the cop is beating you on the legs with billyclub, and you keep putting your hands on them, to stop the pain, and he is telling you to stop putting your hands on them, you what? Comply? The cop was TAUNTING George, why dont you get in the car? While the other cop is killing him and pinning him down. It is cruelty, for cruelties sake, with folks that think RESPECTING their authority is all that matters. Those are sick individuals. Like Trump. Trump only cares about folks respecting his authority. And if you dont, he will kill you. Kill your income, kill you reputation, kill all your friends. SICK.,

    And with the cops response to you, shows that the absolute authority we give these flawed humans, is wrong.

    Yeah but we are addressing ALL police brutality, and I know firsthand about that, and have fought it, and prevailed. Several times.

    So true...it's so important to recognize the intolerance we see from folks that don't support Conservative view points, and follow policies that are alien to our Constitution

    No we're not addressing all police brutality. It's all about black people, hence the phrase BLACK lives matter.

    There are whites that feel they should apologize for being white.

    And yes, other races also suffer at the hands of cops. We just don't hear about it in the media.

    But it's not ugly to make a career criminal convicted of an extremely violent crime into a boy scout?

    What would happen if we had a white lives matter movement to address police brutality and claimed it was for all people. I'm sure that would go over well.
