Can't do that now it ruins the narrative and there is no justification for trying to ruin America that they are doing.
Who is ruining America? Who exactly is 'they?' Do you want to die with a cop kneeling on your neck?

Floyd had landed five years behind bars in 2009 for an assault and robbery two years earlier, and before that, had been convicted of charges ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs, the Daily Mail reported.

“What is not being told is the violent criminal history of George Floyd. The media will not air this,” police union president Bob Kroll told his members in a letter posted Monday on Twitter.

It would seem that the man who the Press refers to as a "gentle giant" and a virtual pillar of the community, it's also time for those who are only willing to focus on the cop's history of people filing complaints about him, it's only fair and equal to show the rest of the story.
Floyd had made changes to his lifestyle and a recent video has emerged of him pleading with younger generations to make good choices and to stop gun violence.

Because he had a counterfeit $20 bill doesn't mean he was the one who made it. If they hadn't killed him he may have been able to tell the police where he got it from.

Once he was handcuffed, the neck restraint was no longer needed.
He was handcuffed the whole time. They handcuffed him when they took him out of HIS car.

Well then I guess that settles that. Guy deserved to be choked out on the sidewalk because he went to jail 11 years ago. Apparently redemption and forgiveness aren’t concepts to be found on a Christian forum. :rolleyes:

Not entirely true, Donald trump has been forgiven and redeemed for all his previous transgressions.

That's the key to salvation. Become the Republican nominee for president. Instant forgiveness for all past, present, and future transgressions.

Next you will tell us there is more to the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He had a criminal history of destroying property inside the temple, and he most likely died from a combination of high blood pressure and being nailed to the cross.

Incorrect. Floyd is hardly comparable to Jesus Christ, even though the protesters who claim to speak for him are now expecting police officers to kneel before them.

That didn't include any of the part where he was laid down by the squad car.

Still has 8 minutes of him restrained and with a knee on his neck. What are his potential wrong behaviors where getting asphyxiated for 8 minutes is a well thought out reaction ?

Edit:
Sorry referenced wrong video, the 8 minutes was from the video I referenced earlier in this thread.

That video has the officer with his knee on Floyd's neck after he became unresponsive with bystanders pleading with him to check his pulse.

Exactly, no man should kneel. Those who kneel to BLM are the worst humans

Your insistence to cast the victim in a negative light is very very lame. Not only that, it is completely unnecessary, as we already know, people who want to lighten the blow of this heinous crime are the very same who uphold the corrupt system, we are speaking against--a system that inherently looks upon minorities as less than, for whatever lame reason they can concoct.

My only insistence is to bring out the facts, whether they be positive or negative. You can expect the same in a court of law.

Now you can state facts, you know that the they don't fit the agenda to destroy America and Americans

It’s not that I don’t like them - I’ve known them. They don’t change the issue at hand. The only reason to bring them up is in a lackluster defense of the police officer, but none of that changes any of the facts which people are in arms about.

I wouldn’t have mattered if Floyd was the meanest man on Earth or the reincarnation of a Teletubby.

He didn’t deserve to die.

Nobody said he did. In fact, I've never heard anyone--whether conservative or liberal, talk radio or MSM, Christian or athiest--make the claim that he deserved to die. Bringing that up is an attempt to cast anyone who brings up facts you may or may not like in a negative light.

What are you trying to say?

I think it's pretty obvious. People are being told what the outcome needs to be, and are already being bullied into thinking a certain way.

It does not matter that a person may have a criminal record, or had Fentanyl or meth. Once he was handcuffed, the knee restraint should have been released and he should have been put in a cruiser. Once he stopped breathing the knee restraint should definitely have come off (and not stayed on for almost 3 more minutes).

I think it's pretty obvious. People are being told what the outcome needs to be, and are already being bullied into thinking a certain way.

You do realize that we all saw the video right ?

And they are showing submission to those who burn, kill, loot and destroy. The cops are supposed to be "heroes" because they are there to protect and serve the community. When I see them kneel before the protesters, it's as if they're saying, "You're right! We humbly submit to you."

One thing I find strangely ironic is how many of the signs the protesters carry say, "White silence is violence". Well, that's why I'm here. I'm a white man and I won't stay silent. But I find that if the words I speak aren't what they want me to say, then they try to bully me into their way of thinking. So they want me to speak up, but also want to control what I say as well.
