Bleeding Edge

George Floyd was murdered for being a black man.

Simple as that.

According to the officers, George was singled out and stopped for suspicion of buying cigarettes with an imperfect $20 bill…

For the love of Christ, again a young black man in America, is arrested, handcuffed, tortured and murdered — at the hands of the dirty cops, on a public street during broad daylight.

George cooperated with the arresting officers, and he was handcuffed.

Then, he was paraded back and forth across the street, from Cop-car to Cop-car as if he were a piece of meat, a trophy, a hunted animal.

George still cooperated.

And the four cops carried on with their charade.

But when he asked for water — all hell broke loose.

A murdering white Cop, with the support of three others, all threw George down onto the gutter of the concrete street, and placed a chokehold on his neck, fully intending to strangle him.

George found himself handcuffed and under the knee of a white man weighing more than 200 pounds, pressing his knee directly on the trachea of this black man’s neck.

George Floyd cried…

No attention was given to him.

He then cried out for some water.

Nothing was give to him.

He then cried out for his deceased mother.

No response and no letting go of the pressure on his neck…

George Floyd then realized that he could no longer breathe.

He cried out for mercy and he begged for his life.

His nose bled and he lost control of his bladder.

Yet the murderous White Officer kneeing him on the neck with the full weight of his body — never once cared.

He never diminish the pressure on this innocent Man’s neck, continuing to block the air from reaching George Floyd’s lungs, and thus now oxygen could get into his bloodstream.

George blacked out.

Yet he remained trapped and handcuffed under the weight of an officer’s knee.

Onlookers tried to intervene only to be threatened with pepper spray. Even when he lost consciousness, the weight of that knee stayed firm on his neck.

When first responders demanded they check for a pulse, the cops refused. When off-duty medical personnel begged for the officer to get up, they refused.

America watched a man being killed in broad daylight for 10 agonizing minutes.

For shame…

PS:

I understand people will dig through everything he’s done wrong in his life.

I understand that people will roll their eyes at this.

We will see his mug shot and he will become a villain even though surveillance video does not support police claims that he resisted arrest.

But there is no crime that justifies this punishment.

Whether he has a criminal history or mental health issues, there is no justification for the death of this man, whether white or black, and let us remember that his name was George Floyd, and may his death not be wasted, because his Life really matters to me, and I surely hope it matters to You too.

God bless his souls and may he rest in eternal peace…
