Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
The fix is in and yet another white man will be lynched by what we laughingly call our "legal system". Floyd did 5 years for armed robbery of a woman but the jurors can't be told about that!!! Floyd was a monster but the judge says he was a saint.

jan 26 2021 The Minnesota judge overseeing the trials of four former Minneapolis police officers accused in the death of George Floyd has ruled that details from Floyd's prior arrests will not be admissible, but jurors will be allowed to hear details about two previous incidents involving the officer who was seen on video kneeling on Floyd's neck, a judge ruled.
Judge Peter A. Cahill in an order Tuesday denied motions to use Floyd’s past encounters with law enforcement as evidence. The judge also rejected the request that evidence related to 16 incidents involving the officers be included, according to USA Today.
Jurors will, however, be allowed to hear details about two previous incidents involving the officer accused of kneeling on Floyd's neck, Derek Chauvin, Cahill ruled. The jurist said he would explain his decisions at a later date.
Defense attorneys had asked for permission to bring up details about Floyd's prior arrests, including a May 2019 arrest in which they said he acted in a way that was similar to his behavior on the day of his death. They also wanted to introduce evidence of a 2007 armed robbery arrest in Texas. In court documents, one of the officer's attorneys described Floyd as an ex-convict, a violent defendant and a liar.
On May 6, 2019, Floyd had allegedly swallowed "large quantities" of drugs "in an attempt to avoid arrest," according to court records. He was also accused of "diversionary behavior such as crying and act[ing] irrationally."
