That's sick to celebrate a convicted felon who invaded a pregnant woman's home and held her at gunpoint.

Floyd was a man who robbed and terrorized the lives of the decent hard working people of this nation, without a thought for the physical and emotional well-being of those innocent victims in his way at that particular time. His one goal was to make himself richer at the expense of others hard work. Nothing more.
But the world has been turned upside down. Floyd died while fighting with police and his family was handsomely rewarded. Ashli Babbit was murdered by someone in uniform and he is being celebrated. Wrong is right and right is wrong. Human lives only matter if they serve political purposes. https://thefederalistpapers.org/us/dc-p ... tch-report

George Floyd Park to be unveiled across from Yates High School in Houston, his alma mater.

No park yet for Houston couple and their dog murdered by police during the illegal botched raid on their home. They had no criminal record.
"Woke" gone wild. A park dedicated to a violent criminal! Disgusting!
This was done so that the BLM flags could hang in U.S. embassys around the world. It is not bad enough that we celebrate Floyd but we have to show the world exactly how far our country has fallen.

Free free at last.
Steve says that he would like to take a group to the Plaza. I would prefer to take these instructions to all facets of the black community's leaders to see how many of them sign onto the concepts expressed in them. I suspect it is like voter ID - the only people who are fighting the concept are the agitators, many of whom are white. I'm not for a moment suggesting that I support what Chavin did. But those rules suggest a level that I suspect that many (most?) blacks don't agree with. We can all disagree with the activities of some officers without taking it to forcing submissiveness out of all white people. I think that most people of color recognize that the extremes hurt, not help them.

Re: Man who died from knee to neck was from Texas

srothstein wrote: Sat May 30, 2020 1:24 am In several posts in this thread and another, I said I did not know enough about the incident in question and suggested we wait for a full investigation. I pointed out that the firing of the officers and threatening state and federal charges would not be the right thing to get them to cooperate. The officer with his knee on the man's neck was arrested and bail was set at $500,000. The attachment to this post is the affidavit for arrest and lists their probable cause. Interestingly enough, it cites the preliminary autopsy report. There is no completed full autopsy report yet.

For those who are sure the video tells enough to make up your minds, I strongly suggest you read this. I am more convinced than ever that we need to wait for a full investigation before making up our minds, especially when the media is reporting it the way they tend to.

Thanks for posting this link. I have a question. It says
The defendant pulled Mr. Floyd out of the passenger side of the squad car at 8:19:38 p.m.
Why would they do that? If Floyd was being arrested and was already in the squad car, why wouldn't he just be taken to jail? I've never understood why, once a subject has been constrained, they are not promptly driven away. This seems even more important if there is a crowd gathering. If they have decided not to make an arrest, telling the subject about that decision and removing the handcuffs seems appropriate.
