    I can understand people being angry about Brianna Taylor's death since she was overall an innocent person. Her death was brought up, but the majority of the rioters were more angry about Floyd.

    Floyd didn’t look good either when you looked at his past, but the video of him was all people needed. Who cares how many drugs he was on, how many crimes he committed and who he assaulted over the years. A cop kneeled on him and his heart gave out due to enough drugs in his system to kill most people. But it was definitely the knee:)

    not sure who brianna taylor is, but I know that Floyd was an ex criminal, and a junkie. Narratives that fit the Far Left Wing radical agenda very well.

    Junkies Lives Matter! Junkies Lies Matter! Junkies Lives Matter!
    Criminal Lives Matter! Criminal Lies Matter! Criminal Lies Matter!

    If you don't love criminals and junkies who do illegal drugs, then you're a racist!!! lol.

    I think the difference is that Floyd's crimes were in the past; the very recent past if you count the passing the counterfeit bill, buy all the world saw on video was him not moving with a cop on top of him.

    Yep, taking a knee should now be considered racist. You hear me Kaepernick?

    amazing anyone would ask this, Floyd was handcuffed and in police custody

    Taylor was busting through a barricaded door to get to those on the other side

    It is Breonna Taylor. Brianna Taylor is a reality star.

    The court of law didn't agree with your facetiousness. That's why your hero is behind bars.

    uuum he died…after committing a crime, swallowing a bunch of drugs, then being arrested, then resisting arrest, then being kneeled on until his heart destroyed by years of drug use, gave out, due to the stress of someone leaning on his back, shoulders and neck.

    Not a simple story as the cops just killed him. :)

    there was no excuse for the cop to do that to a handcuffed man they knew was having medical issues

    Not really. Once he knew something was up he should have got off him. Combination of fear of the crowd and Floyd lying many times earlier. Still wasn’t running anywhere quickly in that state. If Floyd was faking and made a move, he could have controlled him. Shitty situation either way. But Floyd was not a good person by any measure. He put himself in that situation and easily could have sat in a jail cell that night if he just sat in the car and let them take him away.

    neither the cop or Floyd were good people imo - the cop also put himself in that position, and could have easily been enjoying freedom right now had he not done that to Floyd
