Opinion Would George Floyd be alive today, if Derek Chauvin didn't pin his knee to his neck?

[KAZSoliloquy]

If he were still alive there's a good chance he would be unvaccinated. If he were killed by police brutality due to trying to enter a restaurant without his papers rather than counterfeit money or whatever it was, his death would be condoned or even celebrated by liberals today imo.

<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>

you guys should write antivax fan-fiction this is a great premise for a short story.

 

[Seano]

I’m not pretending anything. I am however acting like a descent human being and showing some respect for a guy who was murdered. Maybe you should try that.

No.

One must be worthy of respect.

No ones called him a hero. I can understand the "martyr" part as a representation of police brutality, insisting that had he been white he wouldn't have had a knee on his neck for that long or at all.
Should he have pictures put on walls in cities hes never been too? No. Neither should Breonna Taylor.
Sorry but they simple just dont deserve it. Malcolm X deserves it. Huey Newton deserves it, Fred Hampton, Bobby Seale, Frederick Douglas, they deserve that.
But not those two.
Nothing too do with their pasts or whatever, theres just many other people with a lot better stories that could be honored.
Fat black girl getting shot in a hallway in Kentucky doesnt warrant a statue in Oakland especially when Oakland was the epicenter for the Black Panthers and their movement.

The real question is, how much longer would George Floyd have lived if he was not killed by that cop?
