Anyone want to shop at Target in Minneapolis today? (George Floyd police brutality death)

[Walter Sobchak]

as anyone in here been made aware of floyd's criminal history.

he went to the pokey after he and a few friends broke into some chicks house and held her at gunpoint while they robbed her. in case anyone cares about what kind of person we're talking about here

This does not excuse a police officer murdering him.

This is well known and documented but not a word about it from the media? or liberal politicians, they want to paint him as a saint? who was just minding his business LOL! complete joke as apparently facts are no longer relevant in our society.

How do you think it became well known and documented?

When they show his wife and kid and a picture of him smiling...do you interpret that as them making him out to be a saint?

You should watch the video of him being choked to death for like 10 minutes. It's orders of magnitude more fucked up than robbing someone at gun point.

Candace Owens made it well known and documented. Also, the woman was pregnant and he held a gun to her belly but those are just silly details. Oh ya, her and her baby are black. Question is, do their lives matter in this case?

Here's the problem with this (coming from someone who has been skeptical the whole way through in this thread, and probably has at least somewhat similar viewpoints as you)

It wasn't like the Black community picked the guy that got killed by the police.

The only people aware of Floyd's criminal history in that moment with the four officers and Floyd, was Floyd.

Find a perfect person to lead a cause in this country and there will be no leaders. (This could just as easily be said about Trump as it is Floyd)

Nah. I am sure they ran Floyd's ID and were aware of his criminal history at the beginning of the encounter. When something like this happens pretty much the first thing they do is run your ID.

They would have known his history after running his ID which I assume they did.

The point is it’s nauseating watching the media paint the guy as being a harmless victim. I can’t tell you how many times a heard “gentile giant” used by people Cuomo and Lemon had on. If they were genuine they would have tracked down the woman that he robbed at gunpoint, I wonder if she would characterize him as a “gentle giant”.

Now they’re trying to paint the guy in Atlanta as being a saint.

Obviously some police reform is a good thing but is anyone gonna step up from the black community and say hey we have a responsibility in this as well?

I don't think you have watched how the encounter went down. They never gathered or ran his driver's license.

You really think at no point in this encounter (probably very early) Floyd wasn't identified? I don't know for a fact one way or another, but I would be completely shocked if he wasn't.

so he was a career criminal, got it.

sorry,....i have to say it. the "i can't breathe" has been used as an angle before by many perps, and floyd's character will be questioned when the cop goes to trial..

right now his character is a drug using, gun toting criminal (who did jail time) who held a woman hostage with a gun and who tried to use photocopied 20 dolla bills to commit another crime. i'm sure there is plenty more bad shit he's done as well

anybody else get a juneteenth snapchat msg from team snapchat at exactly 4:20pm or just me

Also holding your breath for 9 minutes isn't that big a deal. It's not the cops job to ask how long he can hold his breath before he suffocates him with his knee.

[lol wow]

Wow dude ur so woke

[lol wow]

Todge this man will literally get on his knees and apologize to black people

If you're saying the police officer might be acquitted, of course. Story of the past 401 years.
