Yes, both are extremist movements. One (BLM) doesn't want black people to be murdered in the streets, while the other (KKK) want to murder black people in the streets. What is wrong with you?
No, BLM wants to spread lies about society, burn down cities, murder people, and loot, and swindle your own movement out of millions of dollars.
Chauvin's prosecution was political.
Whatever your thoughts on BLM, Derrick Chauvin deserved everything he got and more.
There's no doubt in my mind that Chauvin is a grade-A cunt, even as cops go. But Floyd was a thug and he died of a fentanyl overdose.
You're aware there is a video of Floyd's murder right? He's not ODing, and neither autopsy supports that conclusion.

You know what there is evidence supporting though? Derick Chauvin had a history of problematic encounters with other arrestees. Even if George Floyd was a "thug" this was an extrajudicial murder. Cops don't get to be judge, jury or executioner.
He literally had OD levels of fentanyl and meth in his system, a half chewed speedball pill was found in the cop car he was in, and he had eaten all the drugs he had on his person in prior arrest videos.
He wasn't killed by anyone but himself
Of course your right, two medical examiners are wrong. He was just about to drop dead from the "overdose levels" of drugs in his system before that cop knelt on his neck for 9 1/2 minutes. George Floyd was no saint, but that doesn't make his death any less of a murder.
Question for you. At what point did Floyd start saying he couldn't breathe?
A: while he was still getting into the cop car, before he asked to lie on the ground? B: as he was being detained on the ground?
Hint: the answer is A
