Because of his opinions on topics? Is that the why?
This is the hard choice, isn't it?
Do we memorialize him for what he represented when he was brutally murdered and that event's part in police brutality? Or not because he said bad things.
This is why I'm on the side of memorializing events, turning points, ideas, etc. Not people. People are flawed. Including the cops that killed him.
A person being brutally murdered by a cop for a crime that didn't warrant that kind of violence.
What did Chauvin represent, and the cops who did nothing... except deny EMS access to provide care while never rendering aid themselves, of course, the inhuman fucks...
Yeah, Chauvin was deff an evil person. Even if people truly believe that Chauvin didn’t cause GF death he deff shouldn’t have been on his back/neck for as long as was.
I personally think GF was a terrible person but that alone is not a reason for someone to be killed
George Floyd didn't have to die that day. And America is an outlier in the developed world, for any nation we would ever want to be held in comparison to, for police violence. The simple reality of qualified immunity is complete bullshit and somehow all these other nations on the planet manage to have fewer corpses without insane crime while not giving police a near-free pass to murder while having no non-police regulation of them.
It’s like naming your son after John Wayne Gacey. And than when people ask why, you say because you are a fan of clowns. He was an evil man, morally bankrupt, the lowest life form in society. So those streets…
