I can understand that there certainly is a problem , and what happened should not have happened.
However erecting a statue? Of a serial criminal , I think thats pushing it , the intent may be good , circumstances horrendous , but I dont see him as a hero , while we persist in pulling down other such statues.
Strange decision , possibly to keep the peace.

I am not going to say yes or no. Because this is just a peace offering to appease people. He deserves to be alive. I am glad they did it though. I hope all the officers involved and all the people standing around see it and feel guilty for not doing the right thing and stepping in. I would love nothing more to put all of them on trail, because they are just as guilty in his death as the officers.
He is a felon who violently assaulted a woman. He was so a cancer of society. He and that police officer deserved each other and both were likely creators of their own fate.
Stop making heroes out of predators.
No, not that I have anything against him, he was the start of protests of a movement I support, however there are so many more important heroes to have statues of.

It is really odd to me, that a people would go as far as to make celebrative statues of delinquents.
No wonders America is going down the shitter.If it makes retarted black people feel happy about themselves then yes. Let the idiots have it.
Justice was severed in the court. But the nigga was still a violent crime that should serve 25 to life.So they tore down the statue of Lincoln who freed the slaves, and put up a statue of a piece of shit that pointed a loaded gun at a pregnant woman's belly?
Hmmm...The fact that you are asking this question just let's us know that you don't believe but was justified.
No, I'd say not. Though it was very sad/needless that he died the way he did, what did he actually do for society?
I wonder if the family had this made with part of the 27 million dollar settlement they got or did the taxpayers pick up the tab?
Yeah! Nothing like glorifying a druggie that died of an overdose!! When does my guitarist get one? That's ONE statue that SHOULD be torn down!!!
Ask his victims who I think are due reparations from his estate.
Should have put some counterfeit money in his hand and his record of domestic abuse in the other just to keep it real.
It was a tragedy, that he died, that way, but it seems so many are making him a martyr, a symbol of something, when he had a long criminal record, issues with drug abuse, and so on.
IMHO, statues are for bona fide heroes and for people who have done great things for the benefit of the country as a whole. Mr. Floyd was just a victim of an unfortunate incident.
Fuck no. There’s real veteran heroes that deserve it much more
Nope. Many heroes far more suited to be remembered but it truly means something to them that's great
Yes, he was a hero for being on drugs when he was wrongfully killed. Is he now a martyr for BLM? I guess they have different standards than I do
I'm just enjoying the tantrums all the republicans are throwing.
They should have out a 40oz in a paper bag in one hand and a pack of Newports in the other hand.
No. His death was unjustified but he was no angel either and this is too much. They're making money out of his death
He's a hero to his family, because he made them all millionaires.
I approve of anything that pisses off the trumptards.
Yes. Because I love seeing how angry it makes the weak people.
