One year and STILL the useful idiots think he died from a knee to the neck.
It’s been proven white people don’t try so hard to run away. They know right from wrong.
@Habu Sake exactly. When the Left only calls for accountability in BLACK victims or only care about BLACK victims, that immediately invalidates the grief that anyone who is mourning the loss of someone to the police has. Rather than looking at police misconduct against Blacks, we should be looking at the issue as a whole; something that affects every race.
@Habu Sake I was agreeing with you about whites dying more. Try reading.
My point is why did you immediately interject with racism when I’m saying floyd died of an overdose? Does that make you 1. Not having the iq to interpret the conversation 2. A race hate baiter 3. A racist always thinking about color or race of the skin?
I’m guessing you’re all three.
Habu doesn’t take sides or show preference for race because we are all one race, the human race.
Habu has left the building.
@Natural 235 if they knew right from wrong the history of America would not be jacked up and neither would the present??? Did they know right from wrong when they went to the capital???? Stay online and talk this bs because we both know you aren’t brave enough to say it out in the open.
Man, I’m sorry the guy died, I’m also sorry BLM did all the crimes they did before it ever went to court.
@Jackie Bennett
I got no problem with the cause except that it’s like only black lives matter. I’ve damn near been killed by cops more than once and I wasn’t even committing any crimes.
A lot of cops are just trigger happy and let me tell you something, they don’t give a damn what color you are.
@Habu Sake I didn’t say ONLY BLM. That’s not what that phrase means
@Habu Sake I get that your saying like all lives matter but I’m saying that blm is popular just because of you know the fear that comes with being pulled over. But in this case blm,alm, Asian, everyone matters
Well, I’m not gonna argue with y’all, I mean, I know a cop is more likely to shoot a black person, unless it’s me it seems like.
IDK why but these damn cops in this tiny hick azz town where I live just pure hate me.
Today It Been 1 Year Since George Floyd Died Since May 25 2020 Rip 1975-2020
So that’s why Floyd has been crime free. He died?
There is a simple resolution to this problem….don’t break the law and commit crimes and you will not have a problem with the law! Maybe it’s time to address the real problem…..
The real purpose should be staying away from crime then you don’t have to run from doing the time.
Why did George Floyd resist arrest?
The good news: Saint George is now one year drug free & he hasn’t robbed any pregnant women💯👍🏽
One year and STILL the useful idiots think he died from a knee to the neck.
He did
George Floyd was not an angel, to suggest otherwise is blasphemy. I don’t understand why anyone would give Floyd absolution, find inspiration nor call him a hero. What did he do for America or mankind .can we find anyone else; a politician, military hero,president, civil rights leader, family member– anyone more deserving. And it is always Black people people, I have not seen nor heard anyone White,Asian or Latins herald the “virtues” of George Floyd. And what does taking one knee, not saluting the flag or turning uour back when the national anthem is played have to do with any of this. Its plain socialist and not American. I am sure the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan appreciate you not saluting, taking a knee or protesting for them and against the war.
Oh boy give it a rest already
Oh my, Latonya’s gender correction is awesome! She looks like a man! 0:10
One full year drug-free. Good job, George. I knew you could do it with a little help.
criminal drug addicted brother never should have been killed by the POPO

The family reflects on how their lives drastically improved large settlement from the city no more dealing with the problems a drug addict brings
Guarantee those wings he didn’t get his wings
