G****e F***d played a large part in his own death. While the policeman may be ultimately responsible, he was not in the habit of over-powering random black men and suffocating them for sport. G****e F***d put himself in the crosshairs of the police. In the best circumstances, any interaction with, and especially being arrested by the police can be dangerous. He was a thug and met a thug's end.
Please reference your statement that the officer 'was not in the habit of over-powering random black men and suffocating them' (for 'sport' or other reasons). In this country, we do not afford police officers authority to execute citizens for being thugs or for having put themselves in 'the crosshairs of the police'. We also do not authorize police executions of citizens suspected of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Police should apprehend the suspected offender (regardless of his criminal history), arrest and charge him, and subject him to a trial with respect to the charges. Police execution is not an approved option in this country.
If Floyd was a thug, that is not good, but it is not a capital crime. Floyd is no hero in my book, but that doesn't alter the fact that he was murdered unjustly, and it does not alter my belief that, had he been white, he would still be alive today. Police arresting a guy who inserted himself into a church prayer meeting, ultimately k*****g numerous black parishoners, was treated by police to one last fast food burger before being taken to the station. He was not murdered by the police because he was white.
That's just how it is in this country. It is very sad.

Floyd was NOT murdered.
Just do not resist and you will be just fine.
Resist and if you die, so much the better for society.
Too bad we lost the old west justice system.
We bring our fate on ourselves. Nobody escapes this equation.

Please reference it? I think if he had suffocated other black men it would have come out in trial.
