I'm sure he had faults like us all, and he may not have been innocent either, but he did not deserve to die like some animal. He was a human and had family and friends. This brutality has been going on around the world for thousands of years and it needs to stop. We deserve better protectors.. He deserved better protectors..

I'm sorry for your loss, it's sad because what's happening right now in our country is called double standard in favor of those people who feel so entitled and wants to be treated special all the time. One example Everett Miller a Black American man ambushed and killed a young Hispanic American police man and his partner in Kissemmee Florida, just recently an elderly woman was stabbed, killed and robbed buy a young black man in broad daylight in Houston, and that's only to name a few, did we here any condemnation from this so called BLM? None! Did The Police in general branded all blacks as criminals? No! But now , just because of one bad cop they wanna blame all our Police officers? That is unfair. All Lives Matter!

So this guy, not a hero, gets a memorialmservice, but a 100,000 Americans had to die alone with no family or loved ones near, no proper ceremony reburial, no ability to properly say goodbye... But thousands get together for these services. Its tragic, heartbreaking, unfair and unacceptable. Will the officers killed in the associated riots get to have services with their families and loved ones? Likely not... Sad.

BLM paid *WHITE WOMAN* Rachel Donezal to pretend to be an oppressed black woman and that is disgusting. They are only *PROFITING* from racism. Black men like Daniel Seal who spoke out against BLM were killed by BLM.

RIP George Floyd. To hear you crying out for your "deceased mother" continues to break my heart. Seeing a police DEMON murder you; with his hand so casually tucked away in his pocket as he rested all his weight on your neck, seemingly fully aware he was murdering you, will be seared in my brain forever! FOREVER! Reminds me of my classmate shot to death, in the backseat of a squad car, where a WHITE cop (in Dallas TX) played Russian Roulette, with a gun held to Santo's head! My classmates at that time was only 12 years old!!! #Santos Rodriguez. Ppl reference Mr. Floyd's death by commenting: "this too shall pass; trouble don't last always." Trouble has lasted us over 400+ years!! That is "always" for those murdered! Gone! #Time'sUp #ThereMustBeJustice!!!

Afterlife message from George Floyd to all, psychically channeled/talked to by Emanuelle McIntosh: “I am safe, loved, and at peace. Please let my family, my amazing girl, and friends know that I am with God and surrounded by angels guiding me and loving me. Do not let my death be an excuse for violence, suffering, or more death, but let it be a seed to create permanent change and unity-to create a united brotherhood and sisterhood for all of humanity, no matter what race, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Protest peacefully but with urge and determination. And do not stop until injustice, racism, and inequality are replaced with justice, unconditional love, and equality. Standing strong and united with love and compassion as our weapon, we can remove the pain and fears that have led to these destructive behaviors and beliefs that ultimately always lead to unnecessary suffering and death, racist responses, and incarceration or murder of the innocent. Together as one, seeded from God’s love energy, we can create peace and unity for our tomorrow. Thank you for listening.
