As war breaks out in Gaza after the attack by Hamas on Israel, the president of the free world didn’t want Americans to forget about George Floyd on his birthday — George Floyd, the domestic violence perpetrator, drug user, and thief, who died during an arrest in Minneapolis in 2020, after using counterfeit money at a local store.
President Joe Biden issued a statement celebrating the life of Floyd.
“George Floyd should be alive. He should be celebrating his 50th birthday with his young daughter Gianna, family, and friends. He deserved so much more,” Biden said in his statement.
“Today, we join his family to honor his life and legacy. And we remember the tragedy and injustice of his death that sparked one of the largest civil rights movements in our nation’s history and inspired the world,” Biden said.
Between 1997 and 2005, Floyd served eight jail terms on various charges, including drug possession, theft, and trespass. For instance, Floyd was convicted of possessing half a gram of crack cocaine in 2004
“George Floyd’s murder exposed for many what Black and Brown communities have long known and experienced — that our nation has never fully lived up to its highest ideal of fair and impartial justice for all under the law,” Biden said.
“A year and a half ago, Kamala and I stood with the family of George Floyd, civil rights leaders, and law enforcement officials, and I signed an executive order, which applies key elements of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to federal law enforcement. This order bans chokeholds, restricts no-knock warrants, establishes a database for police misconduct, and directs other measures to advance effective and accountable policing that increases public safety. It is putting federal law enforcement on the path to becoming the gold standard of effectiveness and accountability,” Biden said.
Derek Chauvin, a 20-year veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department, was convicted in the murder of Floyd, after his chokehold resulted in Floyd’s death.
“My order also directs the use of federal tools to support similar reforms in state and local agencies. Across our Administration, we have made significant progress in fulfilling the requirements of my executive order, making policing safer and rebuilding trust in American communities,” Biden said.
Since Biden became president, crime has soared in cities across the nation, in part because of the Biden border policy, which has allowed millions of undocumented criminals to enter the United States.
In the nation’s major cities, homicides were 42.6% higher in 2022 compared to 2019, according to the America First Policy Institute. In the past year, robbery has increased by 13%, larceny by 20%, motor vehicle thefts by 21%, and residential and nonresidential burglaries by 6% and 8%, respectively.
But Biden was not focused on stopping crime. He was focused on police reform.
“But we know that implementing real and lasting change at the state and local levels requires Congress to act. I will continue to do everything in my power to fight for police accountability and urge Congress to pass meaningful police reform and send it to my desk. I will sign it,” he said.
Happy birthday George. Hope you’re in a good place.
He’s not
You never know. He may have been given a by because he was abused. Walk a mile in his shoes before being judgmental.
What the he–!! This man has got to go!!
(Sigh) I’m so weary of woke stupid – especially blaming police for doing their job. I won’t second guess George Floyd’s death – that’s yesterday’s story, and I was glad to see it disappear from media spotlights. Is it too late to stop our crime wave? I don’t know that either. But if we don’t let the police do their jobs – as safely as possible for them – crime will just get worse. We need willing prosecutors and jails nasty enough that people won’t want to go there. For brandon to revisit a sorry chapter of our recent past to distract from his failings and absence of leadership at the risk of reigniting civil unrest is worse than despicable.
Exactly. What a disgrace this bumbling fool of a President is.
You would think that the left would want to mute Brandon. People hate him! It seems ludicrous that he is constantly pushed in front of the media. America has become a laughing stock!
Right? And he chooses NOW to do that??
Naturally, Floyd is a poster child for everything Democrats believe in – drug addict and criminal. Probably reminds Biden of Hunter.
George Floyd & Hunter Biden are so much alike Joe probably feels they are both His sons.
The man has his priorities. Screwed up and anti American, but he has his priorities.
I thought floyd was dead. How can he have a birthday?
Next brandon will put him on the quarter… Careful Rich, don’t give him ideas!
They’d have to make his image on the quarter almost microscopic in order to get the lips to fit.
He voted in the last election for biden
Three times!
Now THAT’S democracy!
That didn’t take long for DC to forget about Israel and a bigger and more historic event than one man’s. Israel and HAMAS they going to war far into 2024.
Officer Chauvin’s biggest mistake was showing up for trial.
This.
Of course Biden stands for the criminal cause he’s one of them!!🤬
“In the nation’s major cities, homicides were 42.6% higher in 2022 compared to 2019, according to the America First Policy Institute. In the past year, robbery has increased by 13%, larceny by 20%, motor vehicle thefts by 21%, and residential and nonresidential burglaries by 6% and 8%, respectively.” Is this a key part of Bidenomics the way that runaway inflation is, or is this just an additional bonus part of Bidenomics?
Democrats love dystopia. God knows why.
Because they are a death cult.
Celebrating 3.5 years of crime free sobriety! Nicely done, George!
Go figure!!! Hair sniffing Brandon making a criminal a national hero. MAGIC!!!
Joe, you ain’t Black, man. How would you know what its like to be Black woman, raped and assaulted while pregnant, by George Floyd? I bet there’s more than one Black woman out there saying her thank yous to Derek Chauvin.
Thank you, Derek.
PRIORITIES of the Biden Administration … Basically, emblematic of misplaced focus and pandering to ill-begotten importance. Shameful and Lack-of truth and honest character.
How hard is it to to walk, talk, and look at the same time? Looks like the mouth-breathers can’t comprehend that a functional human can handle more than two thingies at once.
LOOK! SQUIRREL!
Whatever you think of Floyd, he did not deserve to die that day. To quote MRAK “Derek Chauvin, a 20-year veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department, was convicted in the murder of Floyd, after his chokehold resulted in Floyd’s death.” Floyd was MURDERED.
The odds of floyd surviving to the next day were pretty close to zero. The amount of opiates in his system would have led to his death in 90+% of these situations.
.
And, if you really think Chauvin got a fair trial, I got a bridge to sell you.
Chauvin may have been guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Reasonable people can debate that.
But there was no way he was gonna get a fair trial as a cop in a hard left city. He was served up to prevent massive BLM inspired riots.
Do you have a MD to show us as well? Just your opinion.
Do I have a doctor?
Why do you ask… Oh, I got it.
Unless I have a medical doctorate I cannot speak about opiate overdosing. Last time I checked, one does not have to be a doctor to realize the massive amount of drugs in his system was likely fatal.
Or would you demand I have a doctorate to decide drinking 12 beers and then trying to drive is a stupid idea?
Anymore, I want you tell us all why you are so angry. Did you get audited, or you partner cheat on you, or what
Enquiring minds want to know
Anymore?
Your comment makes no sense, Greg. Go pick up a book of English grammar, and try again.
It’s hard indeed for Biden to walk, talk, and look t the same time, so good point. And yes, I agree that our silly president is using Floyd as a distraction and as a campaign platform to woo “black and brown” (his words, not mine) votes. I recall, being the mouth breather that I am, that the coroner’s report said Floyd’s heart disease and drug use were factors in his untimely death. He was in rough shape because of his years of drug use. No doubt that the chokehold finished him off, but is Joe Biden correct when he says that Floyd would be alive today, in 2023? From his health and pattern, he’d either be dead from drugs or in jail. But thanks for playing the devil’s advocate. The devil always needs a good advocate like you.
In the year 2123 George Floyd would have been 150 years old if not for the actions of the police.
But shoving a handful of fentynol down his throat had noting to do with his out come? SMH
3 years crime free George. Keep up the good work.
Btw, knee restraints on the neck was taught to American police by the Israeli Defense Force. Thousands of American police were sent to Israel to learn how jews treat unarmed Palestinians and apply those techniques on Americans.
By the way,,,the terrorists who flew into the world trade center along with the pentagon were trained right here in the US by our USAF. Just saying.
And?
The USAF trains pilots for many nations. Saudis among them.
.
If (and that is a big if) any of the 9/11 terrorists were actually trained to fly by the USAF, it was as part of regular USAF international efforts.
Curiously, the Fort Hood shooter was trained by the US Army. And, the Navy Yard shooter as well.
.
Just saying that your point is meaningless, and in fact does nothing to help.
Stupidest take of the week. And nice but failed attempt to work in some anti Semitism.
Not sure it’s a standard to be proud of, but you do you.
Used to cut peeps heads off too. Burn em alive.
He positions warships in the area to progress WWIII while he tells Americans, his countrymen in the area, to use credit cards to move to a safer location. Those are your democrat values, Alaska. Can you learn a new thing?
No, to stop WWIII.
That could have been Obamas son.
Indeed, had either of the Obamas been heterosexual.
I have a friend who genuinely believes the Obamas are the reincarnation of ancient Pharaohs.
Is that friend one of the Obamas?
I could believe it.
Lips a bit off. Obama’s got more BS. Common sense IQ about the same.
Biden, what an IDIOT
I see Biden and democrats making a new federal holiday.
Already did. Juneteenth.
That declaration was nothing more than cowtowing to bullying by BLM and virtue signaling.
“Juneteenth”
The only federal holiday to celebrate ignorance.
More, a way to remove existing “white male Christian patriarchal European” holidays.
Criminal POTUS supporting another criminal! Anything new here? The most UN AMERICAN President to date!
They have always pardoned their buddies. Nothing new.
Biden is a sob nothing more. Incompetent sack. Was he drooling down his chin when he said that. ??? Is this the same Grorge Floyd that had a felony rap sheet as long as your arm. ???
Police are learning quickly that arresting people of color is indeed a dangerous proposition. Much easier to ignore any criminal activity from that sector. Better to pick on the working class in order to reach their quota. Enjoy your traffic ticket, outlaws.
Guess it’s time to dust this off:
The Dance of Derek and George:
The perp’s name was George Floyd
The police became quite annoyed
They said what the heck
Put your knee on his neck
As they watched him go into the void
Oh Derek what did you do
Eyes on the tvs like glue
The whole world complaining
As Floyd’s life was draining
It made for quite a toxic brew
His rap sheet was quite a list
Robbing with his large fist
For his victims he felt no remorse
Best back off, let him run his course
Nothing to do but get pissed
Said he wanted to clean up his act
Get his rap sheet to redact
Moved from Texas to Minnesota
Adding crimes to his quota
He couldn’t come clean, it’s a fact
Got caught passing fake bills
Working with crooks and shills
Fentanyl and meth he was so high
So the cops pulled up to try
But in the cruiser he said he was ill
He fought his way back out
The police tried avoiding a rout
I can’t breathe he would say
Was he higher that day?
As they tried to move him about
It was all to no avail
The cops couldn’t prevail
On the ground they would go
Way too long, Derek should know
As the world began to wail
That night places were aflame
Urging those to say his name!
Nine minutes in shock
The world watching the clock
And the knee that brought Derek his shame
But is it right to canonize
A criminal in our eyes
To give George his fame
And Derek 22.5 for his blame
And the cities to terrorize
I hope we can all learn from this
Though I’m sure I am amiss
Some will hate this diatribe
And accuse me of lies
And drag this further into the abyss
But I’ve had my say, how about you
Have you really thought this all through
Derek and George had a history
Ending in a greater misery
Let’s be done and not continue
Here I sit in the smallest room in the house with your poetry before me.
Soon it will be behind me.
OMG that is actually hilarious. – sd
Well never know now.
Saint George of Floyd is been drug-free for a couple years, so that’s a good thing.
