Floyd's death in police custody on May 25 touched off months of demonstrations across the globe, calling for an end to systemic racism. “Common sense tells us that we need to examine the totality of the evidence and how it can be applied to the questions of reasonableness of actions and reactions,” he said.
Floyd, who lived in Minnesota by way of Houston and North Carolina, lost his security job when the pandemic began, and had survived Covid 19, Blackwell said."I want you to learn something about George Perry Floyd," Blackwell said,"He was not just an object of excessive force.

We all need to raise our vibrations as a collective. The news agenda is to lower our vibrations through fear and divide and conquer tactics. They try and divide race and religion against each other. They divide the classes rich vs poor.
josgarciaa1017 He murdered George Floyd. Now they're telling us we can't see why are we wasting money on a trial.
And why not. He doesn’t do anything else all day long.
This will be Rodney King revisited...
