If the right just admitted the cops were wrong for killing him, the left never would’ve turned this into such a fiasco. But the right had to create conspiracy theories about Floyd dying of a drug overdose or saying his death was justified because of a crime he committed in the 90’s. So maybe next time we can avoid all of this by admitting the cops were wrong.

It would still have "blown up" . The issue wasnt conservatives gloating about it afterwards it was the police brutality (or lack of custody care) that killed the man that caused the .. things
Have you watched the whole video of his arrest? It should be out there on YouTube somewhere but it shows just how corrupt the establishment is and how they manipulated the situation surrounding it to their advantage.
shareThe only thing that was done wrong was Chauvin kneeling on the back of the man's neck instead of calling for assistance from the other 2 cops standing close by doing nothing but talking to one another.. YES, this definitely could've been handled better
shareCorrection: if the left just admitted that Floyd killed himself by OD’ing, there wouldn’t even be a fiasco. But the left had to create conspiracies about systemic racism against POCs, ACAB and cops supposedly going on hunting sprees, and making Chauvin look bad because supposedly he may have been a dick, all while claiming he knelt on Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and suffocated him, when he didn't. So maybe next time we can avoid all of this by admitting Floyd was not an innocent victim and that he in fact killed himself via drugs. Whether or not the cops were there made no difference.
You’re welcome.
You're right, but too smart for the room.
shareYou dropped your tin foil hat there, Mr. Lance.
shareOh, that’s OP’s hat. He’s been looking for it everywhere. He’ll be so glad that you found it.
shareHey that's a really funny comeback! You wanna hear something else that's funny? Everything the OP said is fully supported on video and a death certificate! Now that's bonkers.
shareThe video showed that Floyd had breathing problems before the cops even touched him. The autopsy revealed that he OD’d, and that he had covid.
At the time, he would’ve been considered a covid death had the cops not shown up. How’s that for funny?
This is not true. The autopsy revealed he died of asphyxiation.

Can you please share the copy of his death certificate that says he died of COVID? That's a new one for me.
New to you? Have you been living under a rock? This has been widely known for years now.
Medical examiner autopsy revealed Floyd had covid as well as drugs, heart disease, hypertension, and sickle cell disease in his system.

In short, the guy was a walking smorgasbord of health risks, and while they weren't listed as the cause, each of them alone can cause cardiopulmonary problems, which he reportedly died from according to yet another report from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. The fact that he had ALL of them at once meant it was only a matter of time before he died that day. The only report saying he died of asphyxiation was the one made by examiner hired by Floyd's family, so I'd be weary of that report's objectivity.
If anything, "overdose" is an understatement.
Unfortunately, there's a narrative to push, so that's why the courts caved and blamed Chauvin and the other cops for Floyd's death. Ergo, the official story won't change because Floyd's black, even though evidence says otherwise. Had he been white, nobody would've even heard of the story, and/or the reports would've said he died by drugs or other health risks.
He OD'd. It's on camera.

Did ANYBODY actually say that his death was justified?
I think at worst, it's been said that he's not somebody worth honoring like many people have been doing for him. And that either the cop was wrong for what he did that caused his death, or the cop didn't cause his death at all.
