Just put George Floyd into google and it prompted me, no 1 search is "George Floyd previous convictions"
So more people are searching his previous convictions than any other thing about him. Presume people are seeking out a justification for his murder. |  |

Are people seriously arguing that kneeling on a man's neck for 8 and half minutes and killing him is acceptable because of what he may/may not have done previously?
I guess this place has it's differences but no one has gone down that route thankfully. | |

I will admit, I have searched for the reason for the police being called. Only because they have never mentioned it. In no way does any crime deserve that response from the police. He only had a forged $20 note for Christ sake. Yes he had previous, but he had served his time and was turning his life around. Like I say, the police response was ridiculous and obviously wrong on all levels. A peaceful protest today please, none of that rubbish we saw yesterday. A peace protest. |  | | |

I think more people would be searching that to find out about background to the case than trying to justify his murder.
I've not seen or heard many people trying to justify his murder. |  |

Before you surmise that more people are searching for information on George Floyd's previous convictions I think you should ask yourself how many of those search enquires were made by bots - the people who own the servers have got a lot of capacity to send off their minions in pursuit of the skewed. |  |

When I searched just now.....even adding George Floyd p....all I got was “George Floyd passed away” and “George Floyd police car”..... |  | | |

Curiosity piqued I have now looked at his past convictions, but still don't see anything that says kneeling on his neck for over 8 minutes is professional practice when arresting someone. |  |

I've not seen a single person suggest that.
I think it's normal for people to be curious about the past of someone in such a big case, and his criminal history has not really been covered in most stories because it clearly doesn't justify the murder. | |

Seems to me that's exactly what they are doing. Racists gonna racist.
Maybe he was a wrongun for all I know, but there's no justification for a cold blooded killing (execution really). None whatsoever. Not his previous activities, not because white people have suffered similar at the cops hands in the US, not because white people also suffer for socio-economic deprivation, not because some people have turn violent at protests. | |

I have - it's widespread amongst a certain sort on Twitter. How many of those are bots, I've no idea though. | |

You've not been paying attention then. Every time a black man is killed by police the first thing many, many people do is to try and justify it. |  |

Maybe some do.
I've not seen many try to justify the killing of George Floyd. I'm sure some right wing groups will, but mostly the general public appears to be in agreement that it wasn't justified. | |

What do you mean by general public? You said you don't use Twitter so where else are you not seeing this happening? | |

That was the exact ‘point’ that Ian Marshall was retweeting the other day as per the thread on here... |  |

Sprucey la, chill your boots.
I think we are generally in agreement. You should know better than to use Twitter as a barometer of what is happening in the world.
It's clear that the vast majority of public feeling is in support of BLM.
It's interesting that of all my posts today, you have only chosen this one to respond to. Something in it has triggered you.
I have been PM'd by a number of people stating that you have driven a few posters away from TWTD with your bullying.
I won't be bullied by you, I'm not going away.
Just try to be nice to people, that's the best advice I can give you. You'll find some peace in that. | |

It was just a simple question. Try not to be so sensitive.
You said you weren't seeing it. I only asked where you were looking. This is quite the turnaround from you though considering three days ago you scurried off denying that White Privilege was even a thing.
Oh you've been getting the PMs! Straight out of the Gibbers playbook that one. Well, I'd say anyone unhappy with me should probably just pm me directly rather than you. I'd he more than glad to chat.
I'm not bullying you. I just saying that I think you are a contrarian plum with an extremely thin skin when it comes to women and minorities. Just basing that off your posts. Sorry if that upsets you! [Post edited 7 Jun 2020 13:19]

Most of the usual outlets, just not Twitter.
I cant control who PM's me to complain about you, sorry about that.
You always engage in my threads, feel free to put me on your ignore list.
Or read more of my posts and open your mind. | |

I have read your mind mate. That's the problem. I've been wandering round it like a gadfly in the Royal Albert Hall. How can I put it? It sure seems spacious. [Post edited 7 Jun 2020 13:27]

Why so glum then? I'm flattered by the comparison.
The Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful place, more often than not filled with genius of some kind or another. | |

Not right now.
It's utterly empty.
Anyway, enough with you. I'll leave you to your 'PMs'. | |
