Through his actions he shed light on the immeasurable amount of police brutality that is inflicted upon our black demographics on a daily basis. Without his intervention the police state would have inexorably grown to a point of no control or limitation. We were on the cusp of a police state, but George Floyd saved this country.

Thank you, George Floyd. You are a hero. Always will be.

No one is perfect. Our Founding Fathers wrangled slaves by the thousands yet they are glorified.

I get you. But he's a former felon that was unjustly murdered by a racist cop. He's no hero. Just a cultural icon I guess. Calling him a hero is an insult to the true heros out there.

He's not a hero. He's a victim

And I don't get why people need to pretend he has to be a saint for the actions of the police (and the millions defending them including the president) to be wrong.

Reminds me of the Zimmerman/Trayvon thing. Where people don't care about the facts they just want to declare someone pure good and someone pure evil

That's not how life works.

George Floyd's personal life and flaws do not matter. What happened to him was wrong and evil, what is happening to thousands more is wrong and evil. We need to stop it

Yeah, no. He was a garbage person. He didn't deserve to die but let's not kid ourselves and act like he was a pillar to the community. People always act like dead people are saints.

What happened to Floyd is beyond fucked up but he isn't a hero and to say he is one is an insult to actual heroes.

They do matter. If he was an average person not commit federal fraud using counterfeit money this wouldn't be an issue.

That's not how cause and effect works dude

You can't do horrible grotesque evil murderous actions (while being paid for it) in the street and then go "Yeah but the guy I murdered did a bad thing so it's cool right?"

That's sick and wrong. You should be ashamed.

Even if Floyd was plotting to blow up France what the police did was still wrong.

By going "Well he wouldn't have been murdered if he didn't commit a crime."

As if that's a point

Regular everyday people that earn there money legit and want the best for their kids are better than George Floyd.

The logic of the OP makes Derek Chauvin the hero. Floyd didn't make the cops kill him; they did that on their own.

No he's not.

He's saying that because the police wouldn't have murdered him if he wasn't a criminal it's his fault for being a criminal that he was murdered

That's insane

So criminal activity led to his unfortunate murder by police? Hes just speaking facts, where is he wrong? Not a hero.

Exactly. He was a drug addict that literally contributed nothing to society. If anything, his death shows how awful and uneducated the looters really are. They complain yet want free handouts and take things by force. Good show.

He's not a martyr either, a martyr is somebody who is killed for their beliefs.

He is literally just a victim.
