If her son was a good man he would have listened to a man saying he couldn’t breath. His actions isn’t what a good man does. Her judgment is askew.
@Collective Vision they need four cop to pin floyed down . That explains a lot …..
@Crocket Hillar ie Lol and as stated in this trial, he was completely subdued by the time he was saying he couldn’t breathe. Once the subject is subdued they are supposed to be turned on the side, then sat up, as explained by Chauvin’s own training supervisor 😉
@Crocket Hillar ie I know Fentanyl Floyd was a thug!! Still didn’t give the police the right to do that.
@Frail Bones Biden Got anything new? You post the same stupid $hit to everyone. Go back under your bridge…troll
@Frail Bones Biden Doesn’t fentanyl pretty much put you to sleep, dummassbiden?
My son is a good man. And will make an excellent INMATE. Sounds like she really loved him has to read her own words.
HAHAHA 😁🤣😂 That’s a good laugh. 😂🤣😁
Sounds like the “mother” of every klanpig in amerikkka
She will know what loss is too. Derek was desperate for her to speak. His shifting eyes 👎
A “Big Heart”? what a bunch of crock! his mom clearly did not watch that horrific phone footage
She sounds more like she feels sorry for herself.
She did but these types of people always make it about them no wonder he is a murderer because she supported his bad behavior as a child .
She’s too racist to have done that
Ma’am, your son could have stopped murdering George. He chose not to.
Kanvaros – I already said he didn’t deserve what happened to him.
I understand you want to paint me as a bad guy in your head, but you need to calm down sweetheart.
@Crimdor please find a corner and stay there.
@Crimdor Your just not worth the energy
@Crimdor he was dien anyway… Say his name: FENTANYL FLOYD.
Except for the fact that the autopsy suggests that he overdosed.
With all due respect, a good man doesn’t murder someone for no other reason than because he’s on a power trip and thinks he’ll get away with it.
@Billy Zee
I got mine! Pfizer & will take a Booster if needed! (I’m 70)🙂🇺🇸
According to her, he was always good when Derek was at her house. He never put his neck on any black man on her linoleum floor.
@gracie santana good job! I got my second Pfizer in May and I’m feeling better than ever, finally feel safe too!
@Billy Zee
Good for you Billy Zee! I too was so happy to get my vaccines. My first
was in Feb. & Mar. I agree I feel protected & comfortable not using a
mask. Take care Billy Zee & Godspeed.
@gracie santana I’m still double masking because of all the unmasked/unvaccinated trumpanzees out there. The news says that they are responsible for the new, far more deadly variants of covid out there that have in fact killed many people who have not been and have been vaccinated for covid. Besides, I’m still making up as a political symbol of rebellion against white supremacy!
This woman raised her son to be a bad person. No her son is not a good man. In fact he is an evil!
What did George Rubberneck Floyd’s mother raised him to be?
Derek dedicated 19 years of his life abusing those he thought of as worthless, and thus he has earned his fate.
@Bat Boy oh, yeah, he definitely loved Floyd to death. His actions clearly state his hatred. You can defend his words but not his actions.
@Ray Quinonez – Lol, nice Strawman. I never defended his actions. Obvious, to those that can read.
@Bat Boy no, you defended his thoughts and intentions. I guess only because you share them.
@Ray Quinonez – No, you are just a overly sensitive snowflake, finding racists everywhere.
@Ray Quinonez – Please don’t continue down this road. I find my bias really rising up against this “black privilege” of “everyone is a racist” hysteria.
A good man, this is where the racial hatred comes from. He had a bad police record.
Exactly. This isn’t the first time. His mom must have forgotten that too.
It was a whole lot of selfishness. No mention of the victim at all. No acceptance of responsibility whatsoever. She certainly did not help him with that judge.
Ya whatever did happen to the guy floyd gave that 20 to?
Victim was a criminal
Let this woman go to the Floyd home, sit with the family and watch what he did to Mr. Floyd.
I don’t sit with black people. I am a liberal too.
He made them rich:)
In a group home. Ethics, HIPAA, Accountability, compitance, were among the many requirements why can’t we have requirements for our Government Leaders?
All very moving, but why did he choke a man to death without pity?
And why did he punch a 14 year old black boy in the jaw. The kid was in his own home. Had no weapon. Was no threat.
MOVING??? you gotta be white…. wtf
Much of his career is public and the video speaks for itself. He’s the worse kind of criminal because he abused the exceptional power given to him.
I really don’t feel bad for the guy. He had every opportunity in the world to just stand up
Absolutely and 💯 in agreement with you
Yea lady if he was a good man he wouldn’t be sitting where he is and BOTH George and he could be home right now
He has a big heart alright a big heart full of sadism and cruelty
A “good man”?! Spare me. He tortured a man to death. He’s a murderer.
“Tortured”
He also tortured many others. He had many complaints on his record.
that mom’s got karenism.
It would have been nice if she offered her condolences to the Floyd family. I bet he did call in on his days off to see if they needed help, he LOVED that power trip, couldn’t get enough!
Did she seriously just get up and whine, “poor me & my feelings” about her son, who just killed a man?
She was incapable of even faking empathy.
Being “good” around your friends and family don’t mean you’re “good” in public or with the power you’re entrusted
Your son was a bully with a badge, which is the worst kind of human. He was trusted with authority, and he routinely abused it. Did it make him feel good to go home at night after behaving like this?
She didn’t once mention the Floyd family and their loss. If this was her favourite son, I’d hate to see what the others are like !!?
@Mal C Jesus No Sh*t!
