Guest Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Yes a great wrong has been committed. No question. However- he was a giant. 6ft 6 inch tall. Criminal history. 46 years old so at the very peak of strength. Worth thinking about anyone faced with a man of that size and weight with seconds to decide action. Police face severe injury and death anytime. Nobody should die as he did of course. But context is an essential element. Yes there is a lot of injustice and such wrongs but - this man had once held a gun to a pregnant woman, done time in prison. Let's have all aspects out in the light of examination. Not paint a onesided picture. That too is dangerous. Edited June 5, 2020 by Melinda12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after he lost consciousness the cop continue to have his knee on his neck. Even after they called 911 for an ambulance. The cop still had his knee on his neck. How can anyone be okay with this? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, he did those things you said. He was a drug addict looking for money and drugs. There's also testimonial and pictorial evidence that George Floyd was a Christian. Christians can fall into all kinds of addictions - food, porn, drug, and more. He was born and raised in a terrible section of Houston and welcomed mission-minded people who worked with young people - telling them that the kids in his neighborhood need the Bible and need God. As for his being in perfect health - he was not. He had the corona virus - albeit, he was asymptomatic. He was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamines. He also had heart disease. So -in total - he had some criminal issues, drug addictions, and was interested in the things of God and was concerned about the young people coming up behind him. I watched all the videos I could find from all angles. He was handcuffed before he got out of the car, sat down against a wall, pulled back up, and taken a few blocks to another police vehicle. What was not seen was him not wanting to get into the police car and dropping to his knees. That's what the police said - he dropped to the ground. At no time were the police in any danger. What was shown was him begging for air and the police officer on his neck saying, "You should have gotten in the car right." When the ambulance got there, his body was lifeless. And the officer was still on his neck. I watched his limp and lifeless body being rolled onto the stretcher beside him. He was pronounced dead a few minutes later at the hospital. I don't see him as a martyr the way some do, but I cannot justify this in any way at all. Nothing he ever did or was warranted what happened.

I think it is amazing how the Lord can touch people's hearts and turn their lives around.... The Apostle Paul when he was still called Saul.. how the Lord appeared before him..? How changed Paul's /saul's life became after that..? Mr. Floyd is not the Apostle Paul.... but did the Lord touch his heart? Was he also a changed person? Perhaps? I dont know for certain. But perhaps something to consider too maybe? Just some thoughts. Thanks. Edited June 5, 2020 by just_abc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don’t think that anyone is saying that he deserved what happened to him. There’s now speculation that he and the cop knew each other, had actually worked together and that this was a “hit.” What the OP was sayings was that George was not an innocent in all this, which is what the protestors and the MSM is making him out to be.

While I do understand they need to protect themselves as well as the public. This was crossing the line. The was man laying on the ground and handcuffed. Even if he got up and ran he would not have gotten very far being handcuffed. And he was unarmed I believe as well. Besides that, once he was unconsciousness I do not think he would be going anywhere. The cop should have stop and if he had stop at that moment, maybe this would have had a different outcome. Okay is this better with less emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
