Counterfeit Twenties

and then the crowd came pointing fingers and distracting the police

who then stand in place to make sure the crowd does not advance

and Floyd was held down too long

I say......the crowd killed Floyd

they should have stayed back
and Floyd would have been in the car....soooooooo much quicker

and not dead
Have you actually watched video footage of the incident? Your explanation does not fit the evidence of the videos. A crowd began to form long after Floyd was incapacitated and likely already dead.

does anyone realize?
Floyd was being arrested for passing fake twenties

isn't that a crime?

Yes, it's a crime.
He should have been arrested and tried for it. We would presume him innocent until his guilt was established by a jury of his peers, or he was declared not guilty.

On the way to that trial a man knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and killed him. Three officers of the law present at the time did nothing to prevent this.

and the cops deliberately chose a public street for that purpose?

It shows just how much contempt they have for the process: they literally feel that they can do *anything* and get away with it.

And, the frightening thing is that if this had not been recorded, they would have. We *know* the police departments are willing to lie to cover up what their members do, even if they were clearly in the wrong.

I can understand those who regard the police as just another rival gang: that is how they come across to *way* too many people.

Fortunately, the color of my skin protects me to some extent (although long hair and beard have their own issues).

it must be more common that most people think
ALL of my twenties are looked at when I buy something

so far so good

but if someone ever wants to arrest me for a bad bill

I will tell the crowd
no problem I got this
STAY BACK
That seems like a fanciful claim to make. You assume crowds spontaneously form around arrests from the very start. A few bystanders filming from a distance is not a crowd. Considering that Floyd had previously been in the police vehicle and then removed by police makes your claim of death by crowd even less believable.

I have been spending twenties for 40 years or more. I do not know if any were counterfeit and assume none were, since no complaint was ever lodged and none were rejected. Again, I have not heard whether the money in question really was counterfeit, and if so, Floyd was passing them with knowledge. It is not something that has had much follow up in the media.

He was in the car. He was complaining that he was clostraphobic, and couldn't breath, so he was pulled out of the car, shoved to the ground, and held down by kneeling on his neck. I think he was being punished for not being "compliant".
oh!.....so he didn't want to be in the car

I spend twenties and keep the small bills for my wife

the cashier ALWAYS looks

must be a real problem
No, they don't. I saw counterfeit 20s and Wish, and, yes, did have the thought I could probably get away with passing a few because no one really checks them. I wouldn't, but it is the observation I have made. They are rarely checked.

As I've pointed out in other threads, we've seen video footage fail in policing the police time and time again. Body cams have seemed to fail in keeping us safe from the pigs. So what did Piggly Wiggly have to fear if there is video of him doing that? He probably figured hed get a slap on the wrist like everyother killer pig that caught on camera.
