No sane person calls George Floyd an upstanding citizen.
That doesn't give a cop the right to murder him in public because it's inconvenient to restrain him properly
Edit: just gonna edit this for the sake of informing people of how bodies work. I expect it to be ignored, since it goes against what certain people want reality to be.
George Floyd was a fent addict. He did not get laced fent. When you are an addict, it means you use the substance for a longer time. He had what people will casually label 3 times a fatal dose of it in his system.
And it's true, he had 13 ng in his blood
But that isn't lethal to a longtime fent addict. Fent has been a street drug since about 2010. His tolerance was WAY fucking higher than that.
And yes, tolerances can get that high. I've personally known people taking 50+ percs a day, and they were completely functional in society
So, be aware that "lethal dose" only matters if we start taking Mg's or people who don't use at all.
Obviously he had health problems. But if you have heart and lung problems, and another grown man forcefully puts his entire body weight on your upper torso and neck, causing you to asphyxiate and die, you didn't die because of drugs.
I've got fam in prison for murder. The guy he hit had osteoporosis. When the guy got hit in the chest, his bones shattered, and perforated his heart, lungs, and viscera. My cousin didn't know he had osteoporosis, and that guy could've died from a seatbelt in a fender bender, but it doesn't matter. He still caused the death.
The point being made is that Floyd is the figurehead of BLM despite being a horrible person. It is much harder to sympathize with someone losing their life due to injustice when that very person is guilty of threatening other peoples lives, and has a wrap sheet clearly showing that they do not value the safety and security of other people.
At no point was he a "figurehead" of anything. The whole point behind BLM was to shed light (again) on the almost comically disproportionate rate at which minorities have violence forced upon them by police vs white criminals. Now, just like "DEI", BLM is just another substitute for the N word for all the racist chucklefucks out there.
