Hello Aaron,

A few years ago, two kids got busted for using fake $20 bills -
the countefeits being cutouts from an advertisement in the local
newspaper. But at least nobody stepped on their necks to keep
them from breathing after they got caught.

Of course, being juveniles they could not be summarilly executed
or put in prison for the rest of their sorry lives. But we all know
those who caught them in the act would never be prosecuted even if
they had done what cops did to Floyd.

Too bad Floyd was not just a little kid. Shoulda known better, right?
It was all his fault that four cops murdered him because they suspected
he may have tried to use fake $20 bills. Not that he resisted arrest,
or had made threats against anybody. But because he was a black man
they did not like, and for that he deserved to die.

Face it. Murder is murder. Kneeling on anybody's neck for eight
minutes and forty-six seconds will kill them. Kid or not. All four
of them should have been charged with first degree murder, then
convicted and sentenced for said crime.
