Reaction to the above nonsense found in “politics”:

I read that story. As Octavia pointed out, that’s not her. This meme is total horseshit on that basis alone.
Here’s the link for you to verify. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jun/16/instagram-posts/no-photo-doesnt-show-woman-george-floyd-allegedly-/
It gets worse though. Yeah, George Floyd was caught for this. He was sentenced. He did his time. He got out of prison and decided he would turn his life around.
He moved up to Minneapolis for a fresh start and hustled as a security guard and bouncer.
If you care to read more details about his life, they’re here:

He was laid off due to Covid (unfortunate situation many find themselves in these days), and allegedly turned to counterfeit money to make ends meet.
However, that allegation hasn’t been proven in a court of law for obvious reasons. He’s dead, chief. And while living people are theoretically entitled to due process (although in Floyd’s case, not in reality), dead people aren’t.
And yeah, he had a drug habit, but so what? Another thing far too many Americans struggle with.
None of the above, either separately or together, justifies Floyd’s murder at the hands of a cop.
Imagine thinking going to prison and doing your time for a crime makes you a permanently branded person for life who can be justifiably slain by the cops at any moment.
Our Founders had a different vision.
See: The entire f**king Bill of Rights you self-proclaimed “constitutional conservatives” love to selectively remember bits and pieces of.
