George Floyd had drugs in his system. So obviously deserved what happened.

Floyd was black, Babbitt was white.

I'm struggling to reconcile someone being OK with a cop killing a guy over a counterfeit $20 bill The cop didn't kill him. Floyd overdosed on illegal drugs. The cops eventually figured that out and called for medical help, but the paramedics didn't get there in time because Floyd had lied about his drug use. Sad! Tom

You should not be. The worst reasonable conclusion of the killing of George is that he died inadvertently. There was no intent, anyway you look at it. And he was under the influence of a potentially deadly dose of various drugs, co-mingled, essentially, not a murder. If anything, an accidental death. The killing of Ashli Babbitt was a murder. He was laying in wait for her, made no effort at all to get her to behave differently, she wasn’t detained or arrested, she was shot dead without warning or cause. I don’t think you’re even trying.
