Just shows this country has a long way to go in terms of race. George Floyd may have been a lot of things but the guy didn't deserve to die in the manner that he did.

You can't convict or murder someone based on their life choices or past criminal history but that happens a lot in America in that whenever an incident occurs that ends the life of a Black person, Whites are quick to nitpick and delve into that person's past as if that warranted the death which it does not. I did Jury Duty a few years ago and while waiting in the selection room, I was appalled at the comments being made by potential jurors in regards to what the verdict would be depending on the color of the person's skin so these people without even being selected to a jury or hearing the facts of a case had already made up their mind. Sad really!

I'd sure hate to think someone judged me based on the company I keep, or for past indiscretions because, at the end of the day, we could all be guilty of that.

When the police stop someone or have that person handcuff, that should not end in that person's death especially when there are more than 2 officers at the scene.

On the flip side, if you stop someone and clearly see that they have a weapon or pose some other threat that could cause bodily harm to you as an officer, then you must dispose of that threat and that doesn't mean killing someone.
