given: he may have been a bad guy.
Is that a reason to execute him, as this thug cop did?
Oh, but I thought he was a gentle giant that wouldn’t harm a flea?
Great guy.
It still doesn’t justify killing him.
Those who have come short in society and humanity sometimes have a bigger impact on society than those who live life doing the right thing.
The political left in society preys on the worst and most fragile and turns that into ultimate political power and cultivates it generation by generation.
We as Conservatives do not have an answer to this when we are overwhelmed. The tipping point is near.

The shutdowns are to blame: when you keep people from working, some will turn to crime, suicide, drugs, alcohol, etc.
In photos his face is strangely swollen. Bad heart and likely high on gawd knows what when detained. Why do these idiots resist arrest when they have a bad ticker? Yes he resisted being put into the patrol car.
Anyways the cops knee to his neck either chocked him or stressed out his heart into a heart attack. Probably both.
Re: “Big Floyd” - 6’6”
The criminal complaint states that “Floyd is over six feet tall and weighs more than 200 pounds.”
A deliberate attempt by prosecutors to conceal that Floyd was bigger than any of the policemen trying to restrain him.
