His family will be getting a much larger payout from the City of Minneapolis and from the Minneapolis Police Department. I expect that the family’s lawyer will get them at least $100 million, and that is after an appeals court decreases what a jury gives them. That doesn’t bring him back, of course, but it will pay for a lot of Kleenex. And Utah has named a city after him, on its southwestern border, right on I-15. St. George. Nice place to retire.

The family (brothers and sister) of George Floyd opened a Go Fund Me account to "help the family"? It has already raised $14,432,000 and still counting from donations as of June 20, 2020. Yes, over $14 MILLION.

This is for a guy who was arrested nine times; was a convicted drug dealer ; held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant lady while his five buddies robbed her home; did prison time three different times totaling about eight years, and obviously didn't learn from our penal system. And America is memorializing him by painting murals of the guy on the sides of buildings like he's a hero? Unbelievable!! You gotta be kidding me.

I would bet that not one cent will go to helping those in need within the community.

Crime does pay…..and well!!!!!

They are keeping new video under wraps that show what really happened during the arrest. Almost 2 months later and they have kept this under cover. Too late now to do any for our country.

Bgamble.
Agreed. Thats exactly what we were just saying. I did also hear that Barbara Streisand gave Disney stock to the kids. What I feel is that the family should be suing the Minneapolis Police Dept. for wrongful death. That's it!

Obviously, those who donated disagree with your view of the situation. Also, you have no idea what his grieving family will do with the money. Shame on you!

Heroes?!?! Doing their job?!?! When did kneeling on a man's neck for almost 9 minutes make a person a hero or become part of a cop's job?

Floyd was on Judge Judy. He carjacked a lady. Check it out. Search You tube. It gives you an ifea of the mentality of todays youth.

If not intended as a joke (likely not), then I understand your assessment of that post. I don't always assume racism. I often think they missed that year of history class or have never visited a reservation.
Sometimes I think people should have been born in another century.
It seems unlikely that it was a joke, based on many other posts & a signature of "Burn Loot Murder".

The family itself came from a community in need so they COULD rightfully keep some of the money. When money is involved jealousy comes out. Like at a reading of any will. $14,000 IS overkill, but would we prefer that it was $ 1,000?

Hmm, sounds like someone is being "judge, jury and executioner" against the COPs. The Cops did not kill Floyd. Floyd killed himself.

I wonder how much money is going to the retired black COP that died during a riot/burglary during this whole thing?
