Maybe some of you guys should tell them Floyd died of an overdose.

The family of George Floyd will receive a $27 million settlement from the city of Minneapolis following a wrongful death lawsuit. Floyd was killed in police custody last May; former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin's murder trial has just begun with jury selection this week. The payout to Floyd's family was approved in a unanimous vote by the Minneapolis City Council on Friday morning, and is the largest-ever settlement by the city. The Washington Post reports "the settlement could have implications" for Chauvin's criminal trial. "No amount of money can ever address the intense pain or trauma caused by this death to George Floyd's family or to the people of our city," said city council president Lisa Bender.

No shit. That was the plan.

The probability of Chauvin getting a fair trial is exactly zero.

Why do you hate America so much? Who hurt you?

All of your replies have been disappointing.

I do so try to gain your approval.

You should at least try to win people's respect when you're doing this.

But I'm not your coach.

I do not even know who you are. Why would I possibly want to you to respect me?
