As you approach the crossroads, it's closed from all four directions.As you enter on foot, the area is covered in murals, tributes and flowers. It feels a no-go area to anyone who doesn't acknowledge its sanctity.The eyes of the world are on the George Floyd murder trial"I've been out here since day one, since George Floyd died. I have not stopped not one time - rain, snow, fall, sleet, I've told them I'll be here," she says.
The lives of almost everyone you meet here feel touched by his death. The convenience store that called the police after George Floyd allegedly used a fake $20 bill feels forever defined by this event.The owner Samir Abumayyaleh shows me the pile of letters they've received from around the world.Another blames the store for what happened."You're complicit in George Floyd's murder. You called the cops over a $20 bill. Shame on you. And now a man is dead.
His pain is palpable. Born in Palestine, Samir came to America to start a new life and has had Cup Foods for more than 30 years."No matter where you go, especially if you're Palestinian, we escaped injustice before to come here, but at the same time, injustice still goes on even in America," he says.
Nearly 10 months since George Floyd's death, there's a sense here nothing has changed when it comes to the treatment of black people by police."Either way we're going to burn our city down. If he got 100 years, he got 10 years it wouldn't matter," says Terry Allen."Nothing's changed."There are peaceful protests planned for the start of the trial but the National Guard is on standby in anticipation of more unrest.
Who cares about the death of a criminal, doesn’t matter if he was black, green, yellow, blue with red spots. If he hadn’t been doing wrong he wouldn’t be dead
'Change' history?
Here we go again....
He had a very tiny coffin for a man of his size, and how many funerals? Many others didn’t have a funeral of this size
Hope they tell why the Cops were fearful!!
Get your orders in early for the 72” plasma, Nike trainers, Gucci handbag, Rolex watches etc etc..........as they’ll be right out of stock, the very moment Chauvin gets exonerated of First Decree murder😉
To anyone wanting to know what truly happened and wants to see how many times he said I cant breath before he was even on the ground and the real reasons why he was on the ground just go to YouTube and search full george floyd video it will give you a different perspective
who writes this trash? it's fucking embarrassing the man died from heart failure due to the drugs he took that day the media is pushing conspiracy theories to cause division msm should be held accountable for all the murders and damage BLM caused last year from your lies
In spite of his unfortunate death as a petty criminal he was hardly a role model and has been exploited by those with a political neo Marxist agenda.
I would support any movement to save anyone’s life, but this guy is no role model for any movement. We’re hurting and killing each other for no reason, humans pretend to be civilised but we’re so destructive, even our planet has given up on us.
What a false narrative you offer .
Could you get a more one sided biased article than this? They miss out actually facts to keep pushing the msm narrative that he was a Saint and was on the ground for no reason seriously go watch the full video then write a factual article
They have already forgotten how Democrats organized pogroms and robberies in shopping centers.
Not sure what to say about this but George Floyd was a career criminal and obviously not a nice man, who threatened and hurt people through his life
Imagine if the cop gets off with it. Gonna be alot of rioting, looting and statue toppling for a man doing his job and a criminal that was......well......a criminal.
These comments give me hope in humanity
Moral of the story. Don't do drugs kids.
White and proud
Eyes of the world is on COVID19 .
Whys it took so long
Only in the USA could a junkie thug die of a fentanyl overdose and go down as a murder and martyr
Such a humble human being.
Hero of all thieves 🤮🤮🤮
It is going to be interesting, Chauvin is probably going to be convicted and the other two on the other charges but Lange I think has been overcharge completely. If his law team knows what they are doing he should walk free.
Will they be calling the pregnant woman whom he pointed a loaded gun at her stomach and threatened to kill her unborn baby as a character witness?
What a world we live in when violent criminals are worshipped
“Eyes of the world” aye... literally seen no mention of this for the last six months. Not sure as many people care as you think 🤷♂️
‘ change history ‘ ? You can’t change history you idiots.
couldn't care less if it was outside america no one would care how many killed each year in places like south africa , nigeria , kenya by police ?
Do you want the media to cover this more or less?
No real lose to society
Do the people that were killed in the BLm/Antifa riots also be given justice, or will you continue to ignore them !!
Horrible bastard, the worlds a better place without him!
Why should it
We still going on about him?
Why is this dead Junkie Criminal still in the news?
George Floyd was a druggie that od'ed during an arrest. End of story.
He did of a drug over dose. Don’t do drugs and fight the police.
I didn't know it was going on.
Hopefully the jury will see him for the total scum bag that he was.
he was a violent thug ...his death means nothing to most people
Didn't George Floyd put a gun to a pregnant women's stomach as he robbed her home?
He was a piece of crap.. Good riddance
Speaking of Fentanyl Floyd, when are the Chinese going to be made to pay for flooding the US with the drug that killed this legend?
😴😴😴😴😴
A career drug addicted criminal. Fcuk him
‘Change history’ Think about those words for a second.
Imagine if he used a real 20 dollar bill $
Waiting for Minnesota to erupt when he’s cleared of all charges
Here to watch white fragility crying a river.
When will Sky stop all the BLM BS?
Blm have made it worse for themselfs simple as will awsys be rascism fact of life.
BLM scum rule breakers
THAT BASTERD IS IN A BETTER PLACE!
Won’t be a fair trial. Too much media speculation. Too much political pressure to convict or risk more riots.
Yeah, let’s not even let the accused have a fair trial or present evidence in their defense. Let’s string them up now bc that somehow will advance justice in the age of Twitter.
My thoughts are with the Marxists at this difficult time
My sympathies to the Officers & their families. Not interested in some criminal.
Drugs kill. 🤷🏼♂️

Incoming gammon saying 'something something he deserved to lose his life'
Gonna be epic watching black people burn and destroy their own cities........AGAIN
Career criminal
I came here for the replies
Nah Americans are too far gone - they’d sell their families over any legislation for strict gun control laws and weeding out non-law abiding police officers; police brutality is American problem and it has been for decades. Note: NO one is against law abiding police officers.
Woman brutally beaten to death in broad daylight before being gang raped in a park The media says nothing

Why is he yellow
Sky, Come On!
He was also a career criminal.
