George Floyd was just a guy. He was a guy at the margins, allegedly writing a forged check to pay for some groceries. He was a guy who should still be alive.

He was murdered. Police arrogated to themselves the roles of arresting, convicting, and summarily executing a man whose crime was nonviolent and minor. This is utter abuse of power, misuse of public trust.
