    In the case of Floyd, it is not "once" a criminal, but like "half a dozen times a criminal". While it is possible to agree to "errare humanum est" when it happens once, the same logic can't be applied to numerous repeated felonies.

    In communicating with non-authentic speakers it is strongly advisable to reduce the usage of acronyms to the minimum. I don't know what are the MPD. The dictionary gave tons of possible options starting with Multiple Personality Disorder down to Maintenance Planning Document with Microwave Power Device and Map Pictorial Display in between.

But all too often, the color of one's skin does have a bearing on these types of police brutality, one more death in a long trail stretching back decades. Enough is enough, which is the point about the BLM movement you continually gloss over. Stop bitching that the 'poster child' of this movement has a criminal past.
    Like I said, being squinted one way gives a distorted overall picture of a human pesonality. Today people tend to focus on one aspect and play down the other. All I do is try to consider both. And I would say it if the victim was white as well. For me all lives matter.
