Violence is wrong. Nothing justifies violence, certainly not the death of a thug.
That is silly.
Violence is usually right, such as the American Revolution, defeating Hitler, etc.
And it would not matter if Floyd were a thug or not, his murder still can't be allowed.

What's silly is you equating violence over the death of a thug to the American revolution.
Murder by government is always equally bad and can't ever be accepted.
Actually the murder of Floyd was even worse than what the British were doing, because they would never have killed someone over drugs.
The murder of Floyd is 10 times worse than the mere taxation issue we rebelled against.
One could even argue the American Revolution was wrong because England had a right to recoup costs of our defense in the French and Indian War.
I find your outrage hollow, you are defending a veteran criminal with a long arrest record and short term incarcerations, he is a man on a mission in finding trouble, drug use, robberies, assaults and other criminal activities including passing a fake $20 bill that day.
It was inevitable his life was going to vanish, he was a
CAREER criminal with no intention of changing, now with a fatal dose of a drug in him,
probably ingesting it all before the police arrives to find the illegal drug on him.
Stop defending this piece of crap!
Wrong.
George Floyd was NOT a career criminal, and was only arrested once.
And although it was a serious armed robbery, no one was hurt.
{...
In 2009, George Floyd was arrested for a 1st-degree felony charge, as per police criminal records/history/past, of assault and armed robbery he took part in 2007 and spent five years in prison for breaking into a lady’s house with the intent to rob her. George agreed that he wore a blue uniform to look like a government employee to gain the lady’s trust, and eventually pave his way into the house.
...
Leaving all the violence and robbery acts behind, George pledged to lead a better life after he shifted to the new city. In his initial days, Floyd, 46 Years Old African-American, found a job as a bouncer at a local restaurant in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota. He made attempts to change his behaviors, a recent video shows Floyd encouraged children and teenagers to stop the ‘gun violence’.

There is no indications he knew the bill was fake, it is not even clear to me anyone bothered to check it really.
He was normally and regularly employed.
And it is pretty hard to beat the police at being corrupt and a threat.
The US has more injustice, more incarcerated, more unfair tax laws, lack of public health care, etc., than almost any place in the world.
