around the country in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis in late May, there's been further examination of why he was stopped by police in the first place.at the hands of Minneapolis police officers stemmed from a call to police about a phony $20 bill.
Around 8 p.m. on May 25, an employee of the Cup Foods convenience store called 911 alleging that a customer used the counterfeit bill to pay for cigarettes and that the person appeared drunk, according to the 911 log released by the Minneapolis Police Department. The employee went to the car outside the store where the customer was sitting and asked him to return the cigarettes, but was denied, according to the 911 call transcript.
The employee described the customer as a 6-foot-6 black man, which was Floyd's height, and repeated to the 911 operator that he appeared drunk.Around eight minutes later, Minneapolis police officers Thomas Lane and J.A. Kueng arrived at the shop and approached Floyd and two others in the car, according to the criminal complaint.
George Floyd is pictured in an undated photo released by the office of Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump.

He was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Minnesota's Department of Human Rights filed civil rights charges against the Minneapolis Police Department Tuesday.
Please. Why did he show up to his own gathering? GEORGE FLOYED is still alive Derick Scott was the man who 'couldnt breath' in 2019.
Yea, to my knowledge those mini mart stores are tax free for 7 years,why are they crying about 8$ and some change? QUIT PLAYING
africaupdates A POLICEMAN CAN BE A( CRIMINAL) AS WELL? A POLICEMAN CAN BE A( RAPIST) AS WELL ?A POLICEMAN CAN BE A (MURDERER) MASQUERADING UNDER THE UNIFORM AS A POLICE MANA POLICE MAN CAN BE A (RACIS)T ETC...
There’s NOTHING to examine, we WITNESSED a non combative man get MURDERED BY THE POLICE!!!! Why he was stopped will NEVER JUSTIFY MURDER!!
Hwasian saying-- The crime was not so great as to merit a death sentence. 罪不至死。
He went to a store drunk to buy cigarettes with a false $20.00 bill, (this information is according The New York Times )
The riots have effectively unjustly killed George Floyd a second time.
That was a basic question that should have been asked along with why was he on the ground to begin with.
The media has taught America to be negatively biased against the police, too and don't understand what it takes to be a police officer. Society pitches temper tantrums if anyone holds people accountable that society doesn't want held accountable. MM arr
Today I think I’m going to listen to Pink Floyd instead of George Floyd.
These aren’t protests.
Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told us every person on earth is equal rather than its colour. For God 🙏 live with peace and stop to do violent protests. America is already in severe pain due to pandemic. Plz stop it otherwise your economic will further down also pandemic spread inc
I get why you want to know more answers about why this happened in the first place. NONE of this will bring him back
A perfect category 5 hurricane COVID-19 is making. Being a leader isn’t easy. Obama & Biden neglected same Minneapolis problem since 2014. How dare Floyd’s family invites Biden who neglected black injustice. How stupid they are! Dem-politicians kill black employments! Stupid!
Who cares. He didn’t deserve to be murdered.

Bono: 'Like Independent Pennsylvania filmmaker Lance Weiler said he went through the windshield in a '94 head-on collision w/ a garbage truck, after he broke his jaw on the steering wheel-- he was probably asleep at the wheel-- I threw a brick threw a window.'
Um, somebody called the cops. Maybe next time they call the cops, nobody comes.

So he is a criminal then? All these protests, riots and looting in the name of race card is really sad!
They put him in the car then took him out and laid him on the ground. Why?
With all respect to a decedent, as it seems both, Floyd and the cop knew each other. Did they have a score to settle with each other?
So George Floyd was murdered over 20 bucks. Great job police.
As a Pakistani we support black people ,no discrimination between white and black.I don't think the country like USA will will ignore the Rights of people. ''''I am personally with the people who want justice for GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever the reason was. The cop should have arrested him, that's his job. A cop's job is not killing people. Let's suppose the G.Floyd had the phony 20 $, is 'death under knee' is the right sentence?
The point is these corrupt cops made sure a man died for a possible $20.00
what is happening to the other 3 cops apply pressure to get them life imprisonment sentences
Main thing is he was murdered by police.....end of story
Why was he put in the car and then assaulted and dragged out and had 3 police officers knees sitting on his neck, back, and legs All they had to do was close the door and take him to jail. Why assault a handcuffed man and kill him?
Any decent human being wouldn’t treat an animal like that and this poor man who was known as a gentle giant crying out that he can’t breathe, calling for his deceased mother and urinating himself, I cried seeing that; those Police officers are EVIL this need to be rooted out.
NO WINNERS IN THIS Floyd TRAGEDY.
I don't care why the cops stopped him, I don't care if he had underlying conditions or drugs in his system, it's very simple the man was handcuffed therefore no longer a threat and a cop held his knee on the man's throat while he said he could not breathe and he died
All four of those Police officers should be charged with murder and be given a life sentence, the two Police holding his legs and back down and the other one just watching. To send a message to any other Police murderer out there; for the riot to stop and things to CHANGE!.

It’s not a black or white issue it is a Police racism issue that needs to be taken out by the roots; who are meant to protect and to serve. All race, colour/color and creed are protesting and outrage by this poor man George Floyd death of strangulation on camera; to the world.
I guess all of those millions of dollars that were spent on tasers was wasted... 🍻
