Nothing alleged about his criminal record. 

From the New York Post : 

"The head of the Minneapolis police union says George Floyd’s “violent criminal history” needs to be remembered "

"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, "

https://nypost.com/2020/06/02/george-floyd-had-violent-criminal-history-minneapolis-union-chief/

From NBC News:

"Citing court records, The Houston Chronicle reported that Floyd had several brushes with the law, starting with a 1997 drug charge in Houston. His last case was an aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon charge in 2007, which resulted in a conviction and a five-year prison sentence. "

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/george-floyd-aspiring-rapper-symbol-police-violence-against-black-men-n1222561

And these were the sanitizes versions.

"His criminal record/history began in his early 20s when he was arrested for the first time in an armed robbery at 21 "

"He worked as a bouncer  "

"According to Candace Owens, who refused to amend “George Floyd his Martyr” said that George once put a gun to a pregnant lady’s/women’s stomach and allegedly robbed a pregnant which is not acceptable by any means. However, there is no written statement of the same in the court records. "

 

"In 2009, George Floyd pleaded guilty for the 1st-degree felony assault and armed robbery he did in 2007 and spent five years in prison for breaking into the house with the intent to rob the lady. George agreed that he wore a blue uniform to look like a government worker and to gain the lady’s trust to enter her house. "

None of which excuses a police officer murdering him while he was handcuffed and face down on the floor.

Agree, the action of the officers was reprehensible, and they need to be punished in accordance with the law.

 

However the ridiculous levels of fake mourning makes it out as if GF was some type of paragon of virtue. I think most people are just scared to voice different opinion for fear of being called racist. I heard Kareem Abdul Jabbar on CNN this morning saying he 'wept' when he saw the video... I mean really....

 

There are 10's if not 100's of people murdered on the streets of the US daily, often Black on Black gang related crime. Where are the mass protests about that? where is Al Shap criticizing other black people for the daily slaughter in neighborhoods all over the US?

I just read an article that said, 90% of the crimes again Blacks were committed by Blacks.  SMDH.

No, but it does make you wonder why all these so called intelligent people are eulogizing Floyd.  Me thinks Money and power.

He had a white packet of drugs that he was trying to hide, one of the cops took it off him

He wouldn't stay in the cop car, said he was claustrophobic & therefore resisted

They opened the other door and proceeded to get him on the floor as he was resisting arrest

He was 6 foot 6 and a big unit on drugs. 

One of the cops even talks about him being on drugs

 

Yeah so just kill him.'..great justifications...very nice. But what about....but what about.....but what about....but what about...blah blah blah

Did you miss the part about him being high on fentanyl and meth? So don't give me this bull that he had turned his life around.

Who cares if he had "turned his life around" or not...he did nothing to deserve to be executed by that cop kneeling on his neck....he didnt get his day in court like that cop will. Any other argument after that is bogus and desperate.

So yes, I get your point, but it’s perhaps not the point you thought you were making.

I never said anything about him being black- that's all on you.

He was a big supporter of Jussie Smollet and fake rape claiments in the past, now he's right behind a criminal druggie who got convicted for sticking a gun in a black womans pregnant gut and was high on meth etc committing another crime- leading him to being illegally killed by an over zealous cop. Al the bandwagon jumper, he should stick up for some decent folks once in a while.

There's no fame in supporting decent folk.

Difference is the populace can boot out Trump at the next election unlike Sharpton.....

 

Tell me this speech isnt racist...............

On February 13, 1994, Sharpton told a student audience at Kean College in New Jersey: "White folks was in the caves while we was building empires," he said. "We built pyramids before Donald Trump even knew what architecture was. We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it. Do some cracker come and tell you, 'Well my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,' you better hold your pocket. That ain't nothing to be proud of, that means their forefathers was crooks
