Since Floyd’s murder, the intersection of 38th and Chicago has become a sacred space. Two iconic murals were painted at the site, including a blue-and-yellow tribute on the side of the Cup Foods where Floyd was accused of spending a counterfeit $20 bill, prompting the fatal police response. The community installed a raised-fist sculpture at the center of the intersection and headstones engraved with the names of Black people killed by police.

😮 Floyd wasn’t murdered! Drug induced death! Minneapolis LEO training manual shows exactly what the LEO performed. Asst Police Chief LIED on the stand stating it was not taught!
Innocent men convicted to prevent riots!
Better idea should have happened: stop rioters by shooting them by LEOs, Nat Guard and armed good guys with a gun! Riots quickly ended!
Idolizing a man like that makes one wonder where are the morals in this country
So sick of hearing about this excuse for a human being.
Let’s not forget the multimillion dollar grift that BLM has become.
George Floyd died of a drug overdose. Period. Anything else is left wing media propaganda.
Thanks for the clarification, Doc. You ARE a doc and not just another dime-a-dozen bloviator, aren’t you?
The brainwashing is strong with this one.
Amen.
Nope. Just read the autopsy and toxicology report. The Ghost is correct.
The parameters used to determine the nine time convicted, drug dealing, counterfeit money passing Floyd didn’t OD were different than from other people that ODed, something that the jury was not told.
