For the sake of justice, it is our duty to defend even the worst of us. A subdued man was brutally and gleefully executed in public, on camera, in spite of horrified pleading from bystanders. Maybe you should watch the video again before condemning the movement too harshly.

Oh? Did the Center Party finally come to a consensus? Where can I read more about this?

> A subdued man was brutally and gleefully executed in public, on camera

This is clearly misinfornation, intentional or not.

The man died of a drug overdose after swallowing drugs to conceal evidence from the police.

This is clearly stated in the coroners report.

There was no murder or execution. Even BLM was founded on a lie.

"George Floyd death homicide, official post-mortem declares": https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52886593

"The 46-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest while being restrained by Minneapolis police, the report found. It listed Mr Floyd's cause of death as 'cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression'."

As for the perpetrator:

"In early 2021, Chauvin was put on trial for unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter of Floyd before a jury in the Minnesota Fourth Judicial District Court. On April 20, he was convicted on all of the charges."

In other words, you are wrong. And based on your other comments, it seems that you've fallen victim to the right-wing propaganda machine. I suggest that you seek other, more factual sources of news.

  A full autopsy report on George Floyd, the man who died after being restrained by Minneapolis police last month, reveals that he was positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

  The 20-page report also indicates that Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death, although the drugs are not listed as the cause.

Are you knowingly lying or simply misinformed and ignorant?

its no use. HN is pretty much on the same political spectrum as Reddit. Arguing with the far left ppl like archagon won't result in a debate based on facts but emotionally charged ideological conjecture as you experienced.
