There it is again, reading comprehension is a dying concept I swear to god.
In no way did I suggest Floyd should have been killed. I pointed out that the person people rioted over was a genuinely bad person. Anyone who threatens to kill a pregnant woman at gun point is a bad person. Period, I don’t care how hard their lives might have been or what led to that point, that is not a man you should make into a martyr.
I absolutely think that who you’re fighting for matters. Yes, conservatives will spin things however they can. That doesn’t change the fact that the same reactionaries responsible for the riots as a result of George Floyd’s murder were completely unaware of something worse that happened. I remember seeing Breonna Taylor’s murder pop up in my feed within a few days if it happening. It’s not like they didn’t have the same tools to see exactly what I did, and yet the dumb motherfuckers did nothing for two months.
Now there’s the added bonus of the irrefutable fact that George Floyd was a bad person. When you give conservatives something real to use as ammunition it only bolsters their ability to twist the truth and push their racist agenda.
You can be mad at me all you want, I’m right. Was what happened to both of them a perfect display of the festering cancer within police forces across the United States? Not only that, but a display of how wrong minorities are treated by those forces? Absolutely, as I’ve never once stated or believed that Floyd should have been murdered.
In no way did I suggest Floyd should have been killed.
But you insist on going out of your way to bloviate about how he was such a terrible person. That’s the entire crux of your argument and it just doesn’t matter. The whole point of having human rights and rule of law is not to pick and choose when they apply. Everyone should care when anyone is needlessly killed or abused, regardless of their past or personality. It’s possible to want a person to die but still insist that others don’t kill them.
And please chill with your moaning about everyone’s reading comprehension and intelligence. It’s not conducive to polite discussion and might give people the impression you’re just trolling.
While I can’t dive into the specifics about George Floyd’s character, as I don’t know enough about him. But I do really disagree with you about that any persons murder, especially by the police, is not worth fighting for. In my opinion they all are, even the worst ones.
Not fighting or causing a huge reaction protest is how we end up with a police that acts with impunity.
But just as you write the police forces and their abusive officers are the genuine problem in this area…
So what did you do when you read about Ms. Taylor’s murder?
Also, you’ve missed the entire point if you think this movement is about a single person. This movement is about police being overtly violent with impunity.

Then I’ll come right out and directly ask: should the man you’re demonizing have been killed by the police?
