I've seen so many chud apologists try to spin it as he was high on fentanyl and that killed him and not the fucking knee in his chest.
Obviously its the thing in fascism were the other is framed as already dead, so there's no point mourning etc.
But even that excuse is deranged, if someone was overdosing on fentanyl you should be doing first aid, giving narcan, CPR etc not killing them by kneeling on them.
I shot a person drowning, but it's okay their lungs being full of water actually killed them first is not okay logic.
It's all bullshit. We now know the cops knew who he was and the pig who killed him owed Floyd money. The entire thing was a sham. It was premeditated murder made to look like a routine arrest over drug possession and counterfeiting.
Remind them that two separate autopsies confirmed he did not have enough fentanyl in his system to kill him, and both place the cause of death squarely on the knee that was on his neck.
The police is shaytan al akbar I tell you what, compared to Floyd.
Also ”he was a criminal” as if having served a prison sentence in the past and supposedly having used a fake bill made it OK to kill him.

Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Why is the title different?
We like to have fun here.
What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.
What are the basic rules of the community?
-
Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
-
This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.
-
Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.
-
No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.
-
Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.
FAQ
I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?
-
This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be "white" but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you've experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.
-
Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are "white" but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.
What can I post?
