No it hasn't been proven that the money was counterfeit. A guilty man would have fled, an innocent man has no need to run. So yes he could have been checking social media.
Exactly. It hasn’t been proven that he was using counterfeit money. Apparently these were kids who made the ‘assumption’ that it was counterfeit and called the police.
Floyd and the police officer used to work as security guards at the same nightclub last year. Maybe this cop had a personal vendetta against Floyd for reasons unknown to any of us.
What surprises me most about this entire thread are the people who keep trying to justify the barbaric treatment of this man.
At first it was that he shouldn’t have resisted arrest. He didn’t. There’s plenty of video footage to prove this from various sources. Since they didn’t like that answer they claimed that video could have been docked or fixed. Not if all the video(S) match up.
Then it was asked if he actually said he couldn’t breathe. Yes ! Fifteen times. Then it was suggested that nobody else saw this. Yes! The videos show many onlookers saying it. Then it was stated that if he can talk , he can breathe. How do they know? Do they have personal experience being choked to death?
According to professionals people can still mumble things while being choked and clearly he was. He died from it.
Then there was the comments that he fell while being transported to the ambulance. He was already dead so not sure how that was even relevant.
At first they said they’d wait to find out the autopsy report so a private one was done by the family. Since that could be bias they wanted to wait for the one done by the government. The results were the same.
Then they said they ‘d wait until it was investigated by the proper authorities so it was and the police officer was at first arrested with manslaughter and third degree murder which got upgraded to second degree murder.
Then they said the policeman was just using proper procedure so the actual manual was shown as well as information proving he didn’t use proper procedure. ALL the evidence proves that which is why there is such outrage.
Then when all else fails they fall back to the fact that he was a criminal and was using counterfeit money. They don’t know that. None of us do. For all we know this could have been a huge lie and we won’t ever know.
Then they looked up his background and discover he’s been to jail and done his time for the crimes he committed which has nothing to do with him getting murdered. He did his time. It’s irrelevant what he’s done in the past especially if he’s already been punished for it.
Now since there’s nothing else to condemn him for , they throw in the fact that if this was a white person, it wouldn’t have even made the news.
No! Probably not because the white person would have still been alive.
It’s a proven fact that black people ARE discriminated against and always have been. A black person is 20 times more likely to get shot at and killed for things done that a white person doing the same thing, wouldn’t.
Just look at the man who got hunted down and shot like a dangerous wild animal by vigilantes while he was jogging. The reason: he stopped at a construction site to have a look at what was being built.
There were cameras there to show he didn’t do a thing wrong. He didn’t steal, he didn’t vandalize or write graffiti on the walks and the owner didn’t care and refused to press charges knowing full well that the man did nothing wrong. Oddly enough THAT in itself caused chaos amongst the racists who were just out for blood. Black blood.
If a white person stopped at a construction site to causally glance at the unfinished building which had no doors or windows, would they have been hunted down and killed while they were out jogging? Of course not? Even when the police were called by these vigilantes about this apparent trespassing, they didn’t care; especially once the discovered there was no break in and nothing stolen.
If it were a white personal suspected of using counterfeit money, would they be tracked down and murdered?
We don’t even know it was counterfeit money or just an excuse to cause trouble when there wasn’t any just like the black man jogging.
If he was that guilty he probably wouldn’t be out jogging and if Floyd was that guilty he probably wouldn’t be sitting in his car.
Then there’s the point made that on lookers never called the police while they witnessed a man get murdered.
Perhaps like the rest of us, nobody knew he was getting murdered until it was too late. Secondly there were three other cops right there. Why didn’t they stop him? Plus who is going to believe someone calling the police saying that four police officers are trying to murder a man?
It’s mind boggling that a man jogging who gets hunted down by vigilantes, shot and killed and a man who supposedly gets suspected of passing off counterfeit money who gets brutally murdered while under arrest, that the focus is on: what did they do to deserve it. These two were murdered for petty , possibly fabricated crimes yet they get scrutinized while the murderers are justified for their actions. It’s truly sickening.
