Was George Floyd the right choice by the left to be the poster boy for destroying America?


George Floyd moved to Minneapolis in 2014 after being released from prison in Houston, Texas following an arrest for aggravated robbery

On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a grocery store in Minneapolis
He was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of arrest

Floyd has more than a decade-old criminal history at the time of the arrest and went to jail for at least 5 times

George Floyd was the ringleader of a violent home invasion
He plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money, according to court records

Floyd was sentenced to 10 months in state jail for possession of cocaine in a December 2005 arrest
He had previously been sentenced to eight months for the same offense, stemming from an October 2002 arrest

Floyd was arrested in 2002 for criminal trespassing and served 30 days in jail
He had another stint for a theft in August 1998


Don't get me wrong......
I think the cop or cops responsible for his death should serve a life sentence for killing him.

But my question is.....why him? Why would the left use George as an example of an injustice? Why not choose one of the many black children shot and killed in Chicago everyday? It would be just as easy to blame Trump for that.

I think they should have chosen an innocent black child to be the poster boy, and not a lawless thug.

What say you?

It fit the narrative of rouge cops killing black men.
The number don't agree but the media are not interested in facts, just a narrative and getting viewers.

@FreeSpirit1 The numbers absolutely agree. And they aren't rogue, it's a a systemic issue, which is why there are fucking protests.

@FreeSpirit1 One. One cop using racism as a reason to take a human life. That alone would be enough to merit protest.
@FreeSpirit1 So you approve of the cops killing innocent people, as long as they’re not white?
