George Floyd 100% did not deserve to die, and it wasn’t a tragic mistake that killed him. That’s why his death was so shocking.
As someone who used to deal with counterfeit currency, presenting a fake bill is not a crime. The average person has no idea whether a bill is counterfeit and cops definitely don’t. There was literally no reason for Derek Chauvin (and the others) to arrest him, let alone choke him to death.
That’s why people went nuts. He was killed for no other reason than being a black man. It’s as simple as that: some people are totally fine with killing black people because they don’t see them as human.
That part of it was just a distraction. I don’t care if he had a counterfeit printer at home churning out 20s, no-one deserves to be chocked to death for non violent crimes.
Now if you are running around with knife/gun all bets are off and you might get killed in the process of being restrained.
But again, once you are restrained you should not have a fucker standing on your neck.

Did we ever even find out if the bill in question was actually counterfeit?
It doesn’t matter. It’s only a crime if you know the bill is fake; and the average person doesn’t know that. Running a red light is a worse offense.
I’d say it matters if the people who cast “summon murderpig” did so on false pretenses.
