The Campaign To Smear George Floyd Is In Full Swing.

“Floyd died in police custody last spring and is obviously not the one on trial. It was a Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, who knelt on his neck for more than nine unrelenting minutes, who now faces second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter charges.
But some in right-wing media keep doing their utmost to make this tragedy about Floyd’s drug use and troubled life, in what seems like an attempt to absolve Chauvin long before the jury reaches a verdict. In effect, they are putting Floyd on trial.”
George Floyd had a knee on his neck and then died. There is no other way to spin this other than through racist lies that try and draw attention away from his murder that happened in Minneapolis. The resulting World wide protests speak to the unimaginable violence that Mr. Floyd endured in the moments before his death at the hands of a brutal police officer who had no regard for Mr. Floyd’s life. His death started a movement that won’t end until our society is more just and equal.
