Who Was George Floyd? Amid the aftermath of police brutality that took the life of African American war hero and the shooting death of an African American suspected of looting by an old white shop owner, the city of Minneapolis morns the death of George Floyd.

George Floyd graduated with honors from Martin Luther King high school in a bucolic and segregated poor African American neighborhood. After graduating first in his class, George Floyd joined the United States Marines to serve a county that had enslaved his great grandparents.

After receiving three purple hearts and two citations for

Police unions will back their members.

Most unions will back the police unions.

The charged officer backed by police union money will fight it out in court and in laboratories and the essential truth will come to light.

Floyd might have trying to change, but the majority of his life he was a drug addict. A convicted arrmed robbery felon who hadn’t been out of prison to long. The autopsy showed drugs in his system. He was not saint and this bullshit narrative needs to end. I also think there’s a hell of a lot more to his death that we’re being told.

LOL, very funny!

As the police union in Minneapolis tells the truth and labels him a "violent criminal."

Trump-supporting Minneapolis police federation leader sends his members a letter calling George Floyd a 'violent criminal' and blasting the city for not cracking down on riots sooner.

His funeral train will soon have more stops than Lincoln's. Can a monument on the Mall be far behind?

"Can anyone tell me why George Floyd was stopped by the Cops in the first place? thanks"

Because a clerk, in Mahmoud Abumayyaleh's store called the police. It's a requirement/policy in the state.

Owner of Minneapolis store that called police on George Floyd says he won't do it in the future

The owner of the Minneapolis store that called the police on George Floyd for a suspected counterfeit bill said he will not call authorities for such matters in the future.

He said he was not present at the time a store clerk contacted police to report a man who allegedly tried using a forged $20 bill to purchase cigarettes.

Abumayyleh said he will no longer abide by a state policy requiring stores to contact the police for suspected counterfeit currency in an effort to prevent similar incidents from escalating. As a check-cashing business, the store is required to call the police for suspected forgeries so the fake bill can potentially be traced to its origin, he said.

Wonder how Minneapolis compares to other large cities in terms of fake cash being/trying to be used?

Three men caught using fake $100 bills, charges say
Apr 16, 2020

MANKATO — Three men from Chicago are suspected of passing or trying to pass fake $100 bills at multiple Mankato businesses. Two of the men allegedly ran from police and one reportedly tossed his counterfeit cash down a storm drain.

Two suspects were stopped leaving the store and later identified as Darrell Williams, 32, and Darryl Williams, 25.

Darryl Williams allegedly scuffled with officers, at one point knocking an officer to the ground. He then allegedly ran away and took what looked like money out of his pockets and dropped it into a storm drain before he was caught.

Fire Department members fished five fake $100 bills out of the drain at Riverfront Drive and Poplar Street.

Surveillance video was used to identify Darryl Williams, Darrel Williams and a third man who was not identified at the time of the counterfeit attempt at the Front Street Walgreen’s as well as the Walgreen’s on Madison Avenue and at Walmart earlier in the day. A receipt in Darrell Williams’ wallet also allegedly tied him to one of the earlier thefts.

“He was not saint and this bullshit narrative needs to end. I also think there’s a hell of a lot more to his death that we’re being told.” That includes a bad relationship that remains undisclosed with shooter both had while employed as bar bouncers.

He did pass a forged $20 bill for cigarettes (in a Muslim owned grocery store). They ran out to the vehicle and tried to get the cigarettes back and he wouldn't do it (another George Floyd misstep). They went back and called the police.

Attention all Counterfeiters, you can frequent Abumayyleh's store.

“Abumayyleh said he will no longer abide by a state policy requiring stores to contact the police for suspected counterfeit currency in an effort to prevent similar incidents from escalating.”

This decision will be of some interest to the bank where Abumayyleh deposits his business income. He may choose to accept bad paper, but it’s unlikely they’ll do the same.

You know what’s so ironic? All this (George Floyd atrocity) over $20, and in CA, you can steal up to $900 with NO repercussions.

He tried to pass a fake Twenty. Someone in the store caught it and refused to take it.

Talk about Karma? (I don’t believe in Karma), He then CAME BACK to the same store and successfully passed the twenty, but the owner saw him leaving and realized he had just gotten away with passing it, so he called the cops. The rest is history.

He should have just gone home. Maybe he would have OD’d on the way home and we all could have been spared this tragedy.
