So floyd was innocent.
We are innocent until proven guilty in this nation.
The cop stole floyds day in court.
I'm not disagreeing with that. But Floyd was also sick, among other things. It wasn't right, but the question is, was the death intentional? That's the main driving force in this case.

I think it was murder and the authorities have charged the Police with second-degree murder, so there is that.
To be honest, i don't think there is any real dispute as to it being murder, but possibly to the degree of such, which remains to be established and proven.

How would ATS make someone a martyr? Maybe the term is something different in your country.
If you describe a person or their behaviour as martyred, you mean that they often exaggerate their suffering in order to gain sympathy or praise
Perfect storm scenario?

I think you're missing the point of the OP. Yes, he died as a result of Chauvin keeping him pinned down. But he also had coronavirus on top of respiratory issues and drugs in his body that only make those issues worse. A healthy man being pinned down like Floyd was would probably still be alive. And yes, it was wrong that his knee was on his neck.

All life matters to one degree or another.
I thought the meme adequately illustrates the conundrum for some.
Police murdering people in public whos guilt or innocence has yet to be established, now that's whats dumb, nevermind evil ta boot.
