MINNEAPOLIS - When George Floyd died at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Memorial Day in 2020, his death prompted protests and calls for change. Now, four years later, his memory is still a cause for people to take action. "We can never forget. We can never stop talking about George Floyd. We can never unsee what we saw in 2020," said Leslie E. Redmond, Executive Director of the nonprofit Win Back. Win Back organized its first annual Day Of Remembrance for George Floyd Friday. It started with an interfaith prayer service at city hall and continued

I'm going to celebrate by doing absolutely nothing to honor his memory. All I can hear is Al Sharpton yammering on about how he was calling fo his mama. It's enough to make you hurl.

George Floyd was an addled drug addict who went to prison 8 times. He pulled a gun on a pregnant woman. He died of a drug overdose that stopped his heart and the cop was blamed. Now he’s an icon for black liberals.

Time for Biden to proclaim a National day of remembrance and install a statue of Floyd in the rotunda in the capital building in Washington.

Dim High Priests hope to raise LOTS of money on the anniversary of floyd's crucifixion and ascent into mythology; and also get laid.

Rename the new bridge in Baltimore after him--the very least those Demofools can do.

Here’s to George
On this day we remember George Floyd
Be of good cheer, my friends, not annoyed
Let it always remind us
He’s safely behind us
Out of sight like a big hemorrhoid

Ah, Mr. Floyd.
The only person in 2020 who tested positive for Covid but died of something else.

This is a day that I am reminded of how a good policeman was doing his job and protecting law abiding citizens from a felon, committing yet another crime. For doing what was right the cop was falsely accused and now sits in prison hoping to be safe from those that want to kill him. The policeman did NOT put his knee to the neck of the criminal. The knee was on the shoulder. I am also reminded of how crooked out judicial system is, and how people will lie, cheat and support criminals for money. But on this week end, I am reminded of the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice, for their country, and honest American citizens who obey the laws of God and man.

By all means, celebrate and druggie and a criminal. More insanity. And it method used to detain him was approved and in the police manual. It was removed for the trial. Derek Chauvin followed police procedure but paid the price because of
BLM and. George Floyd’s ethnicity.

He died at his own hand of a simultaneous use of a number of hard drugs, including enough fentanyl alone to kill him, and also an anal shot of heroin. His heart finally gave out.

George Floyd did not "die at the hands" of Derek Chauvin.
"I like to say COVID-19 shut the world down and George Floyd opened it back up."
George Floyd did not "open the world back up." The authorities acquiesced to a separate set of privileges for the people who in his name gathered in large numbers to march, demonstrate, riot, burn and destroy. While the rest of us were prohibited from honoring our deceased loved ones with traditional funeral rites, George Floyd "mourners" were permitted to hold several large, ostentatious ceremonies to keen over his death.
If anything, the ballyhoo that was permitted to attend George Floyd's death drove home the reality that the restrictions imposed upon us under penalty of law in the name of Covid were a bunch of bs.

Meanwhile, Derek Chauvin is behind bars in order to placate a mob.

A lot of stirred-up garbage to celebrate a dumb criminal's suicide.
