George Floyd died when a Minneapolis cop kept his knee on Floyd's neck for seven minutes after he pleaded with the cops to stop because "I can't breathe." He was under arrest for trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill at a grocery store.
Floyd is being memorialize in Minneapolis, in Raeford, N.C., his birthplace, and in Houston where he grew up.
The Minneapolis service was held Thursday with race-baiting, rabble rouser Al Sharpton as the keynote speaker. Sharpton excoriated President Trump for using the bible as a prop and called out the name of just about any black person ever killed by the police. Race-baiting Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey knelt by Floyd's golden casket and sobbed uncontrollably.
The other services will take place in Raeford on Saturday and in Houston next Monday.
In remembering Floyd, the speakers at the services will have you think the cops killed a saint. Forgotten is the fact that Floyd was an ex-con, a twice-convicted armed robber, and a doper.
May he rest in peace, knowing that his death was not in vain. It started a nationwide insurrection.

It is possible for a person to pass a counterfeit bill innocently. That is why a professional passer of funny money never has more than one on him at the time. That way he can assert that he got it in change and did not know the bill was bad. Also, countefeiting is not a capital offense. That being said you are of course correct in that George Floyd was a long term villain and druggie. I am unsure he deserved to be essentially strangled to death by the cops on a public street without due process.
Actually he was murdered for trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. If he had been arrested he'd still be alive and in jail. At least the police had a reason to arrest him, unlike what the Houston cops did to the couple in their home last year.
Anonymous, Is it just me or have things gotten real quiet about that raid that you speak of?
Other than the random story on people being released from prison it's gone pretty quite. Old news, I guess.
Quiet (typo)
