George Floyd did have a criminal record, including convictions for drug offenses, theft, and other nonviolent crimes. However, it is important to note that this does not justify the use of excessive force by the police officers who arrested him or his subsequent death.
The cause of George Floyd's death was due to asphyxiation caused by the police officers restraining him, including one who knelt on his neck for several minutes. The officers involved have been charged with various crimes, including second-degree murder and manslaughter, and there is ongoing legal proceedings related to this case.
It is important to consider the individual circumstances of George Floyd's case and the broader issues of systemic racism and police brutality. The criminal records of minority groups and their treatment by the criminal justice system are often impacted by systemic biases and inequalities, which must be addressed as part of a larger effort to create a more just and equitable society.
