Despite being made into a martyr by the media and the protesters, George Floyd was a convicted felon. While he lived in Houston, he went to prison for four years for robbery with a deadly weapon. He he also had a previous arrest for robbery in 1998 and drug possession a few years later. Apparently, he went to Minneapolis to start a new life after he got out of prison in 2013. But are we supposed to believe that he was an innocent man who was randomly brutalized by the police? A 911 call came from a store, in which the caller said that Floyd was passing "bad bills" took cigarettes, and was obviously drunk. Now go to the 6:00 mark of the TMZ video. As the original two officers walk Floyd across the street to the police car, Floyd resists as the try to put him in the car. He then falls/gets down on the ground so they cannot get him in. They try again to pick him up. This is when Chauvin's car pulls up and the video ends. The body cam footage of the police will tell the real story, but Floyd was resisting arrest after committing a crime and being drunk in public. Floyd was not an innocent victim here, but allegedly committed another criminal act and did not want to go back to jail again. And despite the public outcry against Chauvin, the knee on the neck is an approved method of keeping a suspect subdued according to the Minneapolis police. Floyd is not the angel, and Chauvin is not the monster, despite what the media and protesters want you to believe.
