I have come to believe the media is pulling another one over on our country. Could the motive in his death be a grudge and not a racial hate crime?
When you look at George Floyd’s previous arrest record and time served, the fact that four officers of four different races were involved. And that the primary white officer worked with Floyd makes me very skeptical of a race motive.
Did the baggie he possessed at arrest disappear in the burning of the third precinct? Did records of interactions of him with the third precinct disappear also?
Where is any discussion of this by 95% of our media?

I've noticed almost all of the cases cited as excessive force involve suspects with criminal backgrounds. I would be willing to believe racism a little more if they had a clean criminal background. I'm sure if he would have followed police instructions Floyd would be alive today. The 75 year old white guy shoved to the ground by police in Buffalo, NY yesterday was an example of what happens when you don't follow orders. Had he been black they would have said it was because of racism.

I havent seen anything about Floyds past. I was curious what it looked like.
His autopsy showed Fentanal and Meth in his body.
A lot of this all comes down to, "listen to what the cops are asking" and 99% of these situations would never escalate and end up in the news.

Are you quoting someone or your own thoughts? I will add that the cop and Floyd worked at the same night club. One source says they had overlapping shifts. Another says they didn’t know each other.

I know a lot of guys that turned their life around with the combo of counterfeit money, meth, and fentanyl.
