Does anyone know the name of the pregnant woman he violently assaulted?

Does his white “girlfriend” have any spawn with St. Floyd, The Gentle Giant, of Blessed Memory? If so, she must have her fat fingers grabbing for a piece of that $27 million payout.

George Floyd was a career criminal and had a long rap sheet. He lived in a world of drugs, petty and violent crime, prison time, etc. Long before Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, Floyd was already on a collision course to an early death. The reinventing of who George Floyd actually was—a career criminal with serious addiction and mental health problems—is a false narrative.

Agree with the verdict, but also strongly agree with this.

Ironic that the racism he "fought" against always happens in the cities run by democrats.

Too bad most of the GOP is the other side of the same coin, or they would be beating the democrats over the head over this every day.

Floyd’s family got a $28,000,000 settlement should be sued by those businesses burned down by BLM .

Fentanyl Floyd makes rock star status because he was black.

Rodney King was a somewhat simnilar story. He had a long record of criminal behavior, DUI, drug and alcohol addiction. This chronic bad behavior culminated in a high speed chase by the LAPD. The police who caught him beat the living sh*t out of him while he was down on the ground. It was a classic case of excessive force, police brutality.

The cops were severely disciplined and City of LA awarded Rodney $3.8 million dollars for his troubles. His big windfall and widespread public sympathy did not help change him for the better; he continued to drive drunk, cause accidents, abuse drugs, get arrested. He continued leading a life of addiction and crime.

So when Rodney accidentally drowned in his swimming pool, it was found that he had plenty of alcohol and hard drugs in his system. Rodney had a second chance to lead a better life, but that didn’t happen. He continued his collision course towards an early death, at age 47. George Floyd was 46.

Don’t some say that the bears in that part of Alaska grow to be huge? And that they may actually be hybrids of polar bears and brown or grizzly bears?
