Video showed former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes while the latter repeatedly said he couldn’t breathe and cried out for his mother. The officer was convicted of murder.The North Texas lawyer who represents George Floyd’s family is threatening to sue the rapper formerly known as, after West falsely suggested it was a drug overdose and not the actions of a Minneapolis police officer that killed Floyd.
Lee Merritt, a Dallas-based lawyer and civil rights activist, said in a tweet on Sunday that Floyd’s family is “considering suit for Kanye’s false statements about the manner of his death.” While a medical examiner concluded Floyd’s drug use was a factor in his death, he testified the compression of Floyd’s neck by police was the main cause. Floyd’s killing was ruled a homicide.Monday morning, Merritt said Philonise Floyd, George Floyd’s brother, asked him whether a defamation lawsuit could be brought against West. While legal precedent holds that dead people and their estates can’t sue for defamation, Merritt agreed to form a working team to investigate other possible claims.
Hope he’ll do it. West is a menace.
He’s the Floyd family lawyer. Y’all are trifling!
We’ll, it did!
That’s BS, the lawyer is himself illegal on this land. The British Accredited Registry?…this is not Britain and Britain does not own this land so his thoughts themselves are treasonous…
He gonna sue the Minneapolis Coroner too?
