George Floyd's family looks back on the year since he was murdered by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.after the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer
But the anniversary of Floyd’s murder has come and will go without lawmakers on Capitol Hill coming to a deal to pass legislation that is named in Floyd’s honor. “The president is still very much hopeful that he will be able to sign the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act into law,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a press briefing Monday. “We are of course very closely engaged with the negotiators, while also leaving them room to work.”
The bill bans police chokeholds, like the one used on Floyd, bans"no-knock" warrants that police can use to forcibly enter private property, expands the Justice Department's ability to subpoena police departments for investigations and funding for state attorneys general to investigate police departments and creates a national public registry of police misconduct and abuse.A Black Lives Matter march was held in Minneapolis on Sunday, after a rally in memory of George Floyd.

Meaningless platitudes as per usual. Action is needed not more pointless words.
Meanwhile not a word about victims of criminal thugs? via YouTube
Starting to understand why there will never be a law tht would protect BLK Ppl:without the institutionalization of BLK PPL THEIR Justice/Money system will fall apart! We didnt ask for painted streets we asked for Law of protection! We Demand protection! POTUS BlackLivesMatter
Bin laden was also killed illegally without a trial. Should we celebrate his death too? 🤔 Both criminals right?

Never forget. Mr. George Floyd was a child of GOD. His life mattered. We must be the change.
I am optimistic and hopeful for change regardless of government, but I admit I feel one party is apt to disregard the topic completely while the other is apt to pretend to. Rooting for grassroots all over to unite and become stronger in their focuses to improve society.
Just think if you obey the cops you dont get killed
The posts under this story prove the point. Some still feel Mr. Floyd deserved death and the police did nothing wrong. So many angels walking the earth that have never made a mistake in life are now on Twitter bashing a dead man.
Some whites want to murder without punishment. Laws have allowed some whites to murder without punishment for hundreds of years. We are not equal. We aren't seen as so, aren't treated as such and remain fearful. That was always the goal.
Ridiculous
The biggest danger to black peoples isn’t police or racism it’s other black people
Ah yes, such a saint. I wonder how the pregnant woman who had a gun at her stomach by George Floyd feels about the world celebrating this day for him?
good
So we honor a criminal, and place a knee. The man should have not died, making a hero from him is outrageous. We have become a weak country
Wonder what’s taking so long? Oh, I know, because there’s no need for police reform!!!!!!!!!!
What a sorry excuse for a president. Glorifying a career criminal.
