While you are correct and a cop isn't there to issue and execute death sentences, that guy had more mugshots done for various crimes than a teenage girl has selfies. He was filth and his death makes earth a better place, and now he gets a whole memorial and a golden coffin with celebrities and politicians mourning as if JFK died. Only reason for all that courtesy: His case was the rare exception of a black guy being killed by a white cop.
His background is irrelevant to what the officer did and doesn't make what he did any less bad (even if he did know that the guy had prior convictions); but those who leave that piece out from their George Floyd's story are ironically making the same inference as you are there.

My small hometown in Ohio has reports of a violent protest circulating. Apparently police a little while ago chased down box trucks with pallets of bricks as well. One car pulled over had Minnesota tags.


These mother fuckers man....
I swear, this is exactly what happened before the riots in Delhi in Feb. They brought in a truckload of stones shortly before the riots broke out. The fascist playbook in use I see.

Also, the way I see it, there are mostly 3 types of people out on the streets: peaceful protesters who care about racial injustice, violent protesters who care about racial injustice and criminals using the cover of protests to commit theft, arson and destruction of property. It's absolutely wrong to paint the 1st and 2nd groups as being the same as the 3rd. Only a person who doesn't like what the people are protesting against would be doing this. Any decent democratic leader would give every assurance necessary to the 1st and 2nd groups to ensure that meaningful reforms will be undertaken so that the protesters with genuine concerns will go back home, and law enforcement will round up anyone left on the streets committing crimes.

But obviously, bunker boy is doing none of this and escalating things instead of resolving things. Using a one-size-fits-all show of "domination" is the worst thing to do right now.

And you know the defense attorneys are going to bring up his past as a violent criminal which brings to the possibility they knew that as they were arresting him. So yes, fair game to talk about it. Same reason OJ’s past behavior was looked at.

I know where you’re going with this...so let me nip this in the butt now....doesn’t justify what the cop did AT ALL. Nothing will justify a nonviolent arrest like that to result in a death. Not sure if I can make that any clearer.

needless to say, people have a right to know the information especially as you know it’s likely to come up on the trial.

Who glorified Floyd here?

Yes and this is exactly why deliberately omitting that information likely comes from the belief (or at best expecting others to believe) that what the officer did was justifiable because the victim had a criminal background. In other words, focusing on that detail to conclude a "filth's" life was taken so it was okay and omitting that detail deliberately are probably coming from the same place.

I literally said the cop had no right to issue and execute a death sentence. The point stands however that there cannot be any sympathy towards the victim, especially not to the degree of officials crying at his coffin.

Indeed - but people still have a right to know it. It’s going to be brought up in court rest assured. That’s how the system works.

and hopefully when it is brought up the judge dismissed it as irrelevant

That, right there, is the end of the story. Which is why there should be no hesitation in revealing all the details. Also, anyone who gets killed unjustifiably deserves sympathy.

It’s irrelevant. Even if he was a harvard educated nobel prize winner it still would be irrelevant.
