So many mixed messages.
Floyd died at the knee of a smirking White Cop, who posed with Floyd like a Deer Hunter who just bagged a 10-point Buck.
But how does that become what is has become? A near worship of a majorly flawed Man, who happened to be the victim of the murder in Minneapolis?
What does Juneteenth have to do with Floyd's murder?
Floyd was a Slave in life. a Slave to his personal Demons. a drug addict with an extensive criminal history. Jesus Christ died brutally, but he lived an exemplary life. Does Floyd get to be Jesus-like, simply because he died in a brutal manner AND is black?
I'm not even going to mention (ok, I guess I am) places like Seattle and Portland, where people burned and destroyed entire neighborhoods in the name of George Floyd justice. Huh???
''My Daddy changed the World'', Floyd's daughter famously stated. The Daddy who, frankly, was an absentee Father, barely a Daddy at all to her, but she is too young to understand that. I won't be surprised at all, to see Floyd heralded as a great Father, this Father's Day weekend. With his Daughter's quote as a form of evidence. Let's stop the Deification of George Floyd. Nothing positive can come from an absurd identity. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

One small suggestion, since one of Floyd's last acts on Earth was to pass counterfeit money, combined with the fact that Bill Clinton is already on the Three Dollar Bill (and yes I voted for him) I think it would be more appropriate to have Floyd's face on all new "fifty cent" bill, not to be confused with the Rapper of the same name of course. lol Originally Posted by GaGambler

The wifebeater is cool-looking, ironic though. Was he a wife beater while he lived?
I guess you could say so. Pointing a gun at a woman's stomach during a robbery should qualify him, in a hyperbolic sense. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

George Floyd was about as big a hero as Rodney King. MLK OTOH is remembered for how he lived, not how he died. Originally Posted by GaGambler

I saw the video from immediately before the Night Sticks reigned down on him. Dude was high on PCP, and kept charging Officers like a Wild Boar. He got off easy, not being shot. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

Will have to go in the "dumbest things ever said book" right near the top. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

Rodney King. There's another Beauty.No but I bet he wished they would have. LAPD knows how to give a proper tune up. The coverage should be a training video, lol.
