It is a fact he was a convicted violent felon. No one is saying he "got what he deserved". They are however saying he is by far not simply an innocent victim of racist circumstance as the media, and retards like you present him to be. He made choices that lead himself down that path. He put HIMSELF into that situation. This is all being portrayed as an innocent man minding his own business being victimized by circumstances beyond his control. This is totally a lie. You don't give a fuck about justice, if you did you would be bringing ACTUAL INNOCENTS harmed by police to the forefront. Instead we find you here regurgitating what the media and hive mind command of you like a social justice parrot bot.

I will give it to you that the media is using this case to highlight police brutality and police abuse. There are way better case to highlt their points, and Floyd wouldn't have been my preferred choice.

But, the true question is the following: if Floyd was an abiding citizen that died to the hand of the police, would you have supported the current movement aiming to end police brutality? (I am not reffering to the looting, violence and destruction... just the peaceful action of saying enough is enough).

It is unfortunate, that Floyd is being martyrized as a hero, a figure to refer to for the young generation.
Yes he was a felon, yes he was a bad person, but, no, he didn't deserve to die that day.
There are pedophiles, mass murders, serial killers that are better treated than him, waiting for 5 - 10 years for sentencing on the death penalty.
Floyd, got killed for handing over a fake bill (we will never know if it was intentional or not!).

I also believe that better previous policy manslaughter/brutality/murder would have been a better case for exposing the bad cops.
But hey, the internet has decided that this case was the last straw that breaks the camel's back

I'll repost here, that what I wrote somewhere else :

sources = +/- 1000 police murders per year : THE GUARDIAN COUNTED

% of the 1000 black ? (is it more or less than the 12% of the US population ?)
% latinos ? ( + or - than 16% of USA stats ?)
% white ? ( + or- than 72.4 % of USA Stats ?)

results :
% of killed is different than % of the population (but not by too much)
white = 50% of the 1000 casualties ).
Black 24%
latinos 18%

Blacks are twice more killed than the % of the US population
Latinos 20% more
white = 30% less than the expected number.

Bon, these numbers are "skewed" anyway because (it is a fact) that black Americans and Latinos have a higher felony rate than white Americans (reference numbers of people in jail by skin color).
It could be based on the fact that police officers are more likely to arrests blacks or Latinos, or it could also be because they are not given the same work/employment opportunities ... this is another story.
