I'd guess just to pacify the racists, the cops will be publicly sentenced to near-death, then they'll disappear never to be seen again.

It is puzzling how the media have been portraying him as a "Gentle Giant" who wouldn't hurt a flea, when he's had the history he's had. He didn't deserve being killed, but they should portray him accurately, rather than raising him to sainthood status. The Boss nailed it.

The picture of him in a suit and tie that the media is using is quite a contrast to the video of him being arrested.

I thought they said he was a pastor?
NO. He was going to be one as soon as he got his life straightened out-which he was in the process of doing. RIGHT! And I am going to be the Pope... just as soon as I become a Catholic.! Garry-

His bad decisions didn't cause his death. A bad cop caused his death. What he was before or did before his death means nothing. He would never have been memorialized either if it weren't for a bad cop. If he did not fall on the ground rather then get in the vehicle he would be alive today maybe. About every case like this started with the choice to not follow simple directions time and time again then it escalates out of control.

I've said it before and i'll say it again.... all these hi profile killings of "unarmed black men" have one common theme... IF THEY WOULD HAVE COMPLIED, THEY WOULDNT HAVE DIED!!!!!! they all gotta resist and prove their hoodrat ghetto cred by fightin the po leece….

We've identified two issues.
The killing of Floyd by police.
The news media lionizing the guy.
Floyd's criminal history is relevant to the second issue. Paul's point is valid on that one.

The defense attorney said Floyd was a good boy. So did his parrents and grand parents. So did Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. It is a real tragedy when good boys get killed by bad cops. It should be against the law.

I'm still baffled why someone would allow themselves to be recorded when committing murder.

I'm still baffled why someone would allow themselves to be recorded when committing murder. Because there was no intent to murder.

No, his bad actions in the past did not cause his death. The officer kneeling on his neck for 8 minutes did. Or possibly his bad actions of the present.

Floyd's criminal history is irrelevant. None of his crimes deserved the death penalty.
Jim How bout his health and drug use contributing to his death ? I don't think the knee on neck was the primary cause of death The dirt bag cop wasn't trying to murder Floyd . For that reason I doubt he gets much more than manslaughter
