> George Floyd robbed a women by holding his gun to her pregnant stomach. A quick DDG says this is an urban legend, or do you, Mr. "Highly educated individual, commonly read dense scientific works, philosophy, political science etc" know better? And did those things you read justify the death he suffered? The cops didn't even know his past, and even if they did, so fucking what, their job isn't to judge someone to be worthy of death and then executing them... But well, it's easy enough for people like you to find excuses that "those people were bad guys" who "deserved it", so you can sleep at night and not admit to yourself that maybe you're biased. > Police are more frequently in life threatening situations. The demands on them to act perfectly are enormous. The 4 fuckers had 9 minutes to change the situation and not end up being shit cops, with at least one of them rotting in jail because he was deemed to have broken the law (although maybe not in your book(s), Mr. Dunning Kruger?). Were they in a life threatening situation for those 9 minutes?

You got me to search on this - I used startpage - Only used the first three results.. I learned more about the situation than I had 'heard' before - so thanks for that. I do not think the 'undisputed' facts make the thing total 'urban legend' however. It seems there is some questioning as to whether or not the girl was pregnant or not - even the places that seem to be trying to downplay the 'social media legend' - aka politifact giving a "false" because a wrong picture was being used on an instagram (meme?) - It seems that there is no debate that he (with others) forced into a home, and using a gun, threatened a couple of people and a toddler - at one point shoving a gun into the stomach of a woman - demanding to know where the money and drugs are. I do not write this to justify anything - I am a seeker of truths, which more and more these days seem to elude 'both sides' of many discussions. For what it's worth I wish things ended differently with the Floyd situation, and I think a majority of people on either side/any side also feel the same.
