      What on Earth are you on about? Trump deserves to be tried for his crimes, and George Floyd should also have been tried in a court to see if he was guilty of committing any crimes. Only Floyd was executed in the street before he could be tried for anything, and Trump is still barely facing any consequences for his life of documented crimes.

      Ahh, I see you’re well versed in the classic conservative tactic of “making things up then being angry about them”.

      Whatever George Floyd actually did wrong, it should not have resulted in him being killed by a cops knee on his neck.

          Here’s a thought experiment. Say we have roving death squads deputized to kill bad guys at will. What happens when the death squad guy turns out to be a bad guy? How do you prevent the death squad guys from killing whoever they want? Or even each other? The best answer we’ve come up with so far is a fair trial.

          If a man points a gun at someone, they are a threat. If a man is completely subdued and immobilized, face down on the ground, completely surrounded, they no longer pose a threat. Killing someone who does not pose a threat is murder.

          I feel exactly the same way about the America-hating, freedom-destroying trump simps

      Remember that time George Floyd was caught bragging about his dozens of stolen US documents on twitter? I remember it about as well as I remember George Floyd’s trial…

      Oh wait he didn’t fucking have one because they fucking crushed his neck with a fucking knee.
