Well damn'... Why even talk about it then????? He was murdered by the phuckn police!!! Damn Lamont... Im sided eyeying you NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfollowing all your channels!! Good Bye!!!
Imagine being the pregnant woman who Floyd violated victimized and traumatized, and walking outside to see murals and statues of the man who did it 🤦♂️ people( two things can be true at once, his death was unwarranted and wrong but he isn’t a god damn hero.
@@annamartin3489 but they did when they put up the god damn statues. It should never have happened, but fcking statues? Give me a break what a joke lol. Little Gabriel Hernandez was abused for years walked around black and blue while perfect strangers called saying there is something wrong this child is being beat! No one did anything and he was murdered. No statues for him, babies shot and killed everyday by gang violence, no statues for them but a criminal with too much fentanyl in his system (saying that because it already depresses your breathing) who was resisting arrest killed by a pos moron cop and statues and murals everywhere I can’t roll my eyes hard enough lol.
@@annamartin3489 his record speaks for itself...George Fentynal Floyd was a POS!...He's no longer a threat to society now is he...As far as Derek goes, his tactics were wrong, and he'll have to think about it in prison!...
@@annamartin3489 The police did know he was combative and uncooperative after they were called out to deal with him for passing fake bills. They just shouldn't have continued to kneel on him after he stopped yammering his mouth to check out if he was OK. Well, they're going to pay the price for encountering that loser druggie in the final moments of his life.
No, he wasn't a hero but the world saw the evil that was portrayed by the policeman and especially that devil Chauvin who didn't have to kill him. He was already handcuffed and laying on the ground and this is what had people of all races and nationalities ALL OVER THE WORLD protesting because of this evil act. If he was stammering, as you say, it was because he couldn't breathe and was dying. Did he kill the pregnant woman to deserve to be murdered the way he was?????
He OD'd.. he had already OD'd the yr before.. that cop didn't kill him Floyd wanted out of the car, they should have kept him there, that's what the cops did incorrectly He was a career criminal and vicious Communists blew this up to burn and commit ultra violence in 2020 It was to steal the election Floyd was just another component of the covid holocaust The real holocaust
My brother took his own life the same day George Floyd died. As a result, I was completely numb to the media circus that followed. I'm a compassionate person, or I try, but I just couldn't care. I was swallowed by my own personal tragedy. So I appreciate this analysis. It helps me to revisit the story with new eyes.
Your brother is a victim of the American Fentanyl culture. It’s banned in Britain, pharmaceutical companies are heavily controlled here. It should be banned there, but unfortunately it takes in the profits.😢
Lamont, at the 12:43 mark of the video you pass a headstone with the name John Tenta. John Tenta was a pro wrestler who went by the name Earthquake in the WWF/WWE back in the early mid 90's
I think we all can agree that he didn't deserve to die no matter his past. However, this guy shouldn't be made out to be some martyr with a statue. After all suspects that have been killed by police, most of them resisted arrest, tried to run or tried to grab the officers gun or taser.
If Floyd didn't die from the cop somebody else would have killed him like the drug dealers that he owed money to they eventually came for their money when they saw his brother
So glad to hear you're voice ❤ had surgery and been in hospital for a bit!!! You are a big part of my day! Thank you Lamont for your time !! I've said it before and I will say it again we all have our opinions and people should respect our thoughts and feelings! And just try to love one another! We are on this earth for a short time!
A police officer once said, "It is a front row seat to the greatest show on earth." There were officers holding George's legs, there was no reason to kneel on the side of his neck. On the other hand, if you can yell "I can't breathe," repeatedly, you can obviously breathe.
I agree 100% with you I would like to say this I watched the George Floyd death unfold from the news media. It wasn’t until I watched the whole entire trial & seen the actual police cam footage that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt the police officers ( all of them involved with this terrible tragedy) are INNOCENT!! When I followed the media I actually cried when I seen what took place with George Floyd!! It looked like he was murdered & I actually believed it just like millions of other people do! If you ever get the chance to watch the trial please do. RIP G. Floyd, Sadly addiction is what took you from this planet but, the other scenario was a perfect narrative…..
As long as the rest of their kind cap and delete each other without any news coverage, I don't care, because they themselves don't really care about BLM when it is violence among themselves.😁👍
Funny you should mention that. Lamont did a video of a St. Louis veteran police captain who responded to a pawn shop robbery during one of the Floyd riots, and ended up getting shot and killed in the line of duty. But since his murderer was also black, it hardly got any media attention.
At least George is staying clean and sober and not poking pregnant women in the belly with a gun while trying to rob them now! Thank God for small favors!
@@alextepe4309 most crimes like that don’t get national attention, when they are localized. Did it garner national attention of the buffalo cop who was black and murdered at the tops grocery store? It’s almost as if, you all only Use instances like this to further racial ideologies. George Floyd was highlighted because it’s not every damn day you hear a cop kneeing on a man’s neck for 9 1/2 hours and y’all can miss me with that resisting bullshit.
I waited til I saw everything about the case. When I saw the body cam footage is when I realized that both the cop and Floyd were equally guilty. If GF had just sat his ass down when the cop was putting him in the squad car,he'd still be alive to commit more crimes.
He had 3x the lethal dosage amount of fentanyl in his system in the last moments of his life, so that's a bunch of bs. He would have died regardless if the cops showed up.
What happened to Floyd was horrific and no one deserved what happened to him. But Floyd like many had demons and if we"re going to have an honest conversation all aspects of his life need to be addressed. Addressing his bad side does not mean that he deserved to die. Too bad we"re not allowed to have an honest dialogue without getting cancelled.
Criminal or not, we all have the right to due process. In the future, when an officer of the law arrests a person, they will think twice before they kneel on the suspect's neck for over 9 minutes.
Or not be high on fentanyl in public being a danger to society. Whole situation wouldn't have happened. If you can't expect all citizens to be perfect then you can't expect all police officers to be. You can however choose not to live a life of crime.
Lamont, I think you're never going to make everyone happy. If someone can't "scroll" then that's their issue. You've always been very fair and respectful and I'm sure that secret video will also be. Love your channel (even when I dont agree) thank you for being authentic.
Amen u rite especially some folks who are un awoken and ignorant got the nerve to call someone a racist and there the real racists like I say they come in all shapes and colors also
You should have put the video up after all you did was talk about George Floyd thru out this video. The only difference was we didn't get to see his grave anyway we love you Lamont whatever you decide to do we will stick by your side.❤
You Sir are a breath of fresh air. I truly appreciate your honest, fair, and very level headed assessment of this situation. Unlike so many others, you are able to make up your own mind based on facts and NOT social media driven narratives. As for the Karen's in this world who have decided to unsubscribe to you because they are nothing more that media fed sheeple, you gained me as a subscriber. I have enjoyed many of your videos, and this is the one that finally motivated me to subscribe. Thank you for what you do Sir. As for the Karen's... maybe one day you will hear that amazing distinct cork like popping sound of your head coming out of your asses. I pray one day this miracle happens, but I will not hold my breath. You are truly your own man Lamont, never change a thing!
To each their own, everyone has opinions. So many salty people in his comments, Lamont can't even say his opinion without someone getting upset about it. What a soft world we live in nowadays.
Lamont, I respect your opinion, but I respectfully disagree with you that Derek didn’t mean to kill George. Great video, and thanks for getting the conversation going!
@@monicalitman1396 exactly. Common sense isn't common to the emotionally charged. Their minds are already made up. Factual information doesn't mean anything.
the officer didn't intentionally kill him most the blame goes on the bystanders. He kept looking because the other officer kept telling the crowd to move back shows it on film, he was put in a position of being there longer for that reason the crowd period was also to blame
Y’all keep saying ‘It’s about time someone told the truth about what happened to George Floyd’. Who is Lamont, God? Y’all sound crazy. But I have a question for Lamont. With all those people begging Chauvin to get off of Floyd’s neck, George begging for his life and saying he can’t breathe, then George visibly going unconscious in front of everyone and that man still on his neck you really believe his death wasn’t intentional? And do you really believe Chauvin wasn’t racist? Let me say this, I watch your channels all the time and I actually loved your content but I’m watching you respond to some of these people in the comments that are clearly racist and I’m so shocked. There’s no way in hell you can not see that Chauvin didn’t intentionally kill that man. But I’m confused cuz you might as well put up the video bcuz you talked about the entire case enough. I like to think I’m an open minded person and I look at things from both perspectives but I’m really in shock about not even what you’re saying about your opinion on the case but how you’re responding to the racists in these comments. I didn’t think your other video was bad about George Stinney even though people were threatening to leave your channel then and calling you a racist. But this video here is crazy. We can all agree to disagree but anyone that has eyesight and a brain can see that Floyd’s death was intentional. But I have to question your words and way of thinking now. Smfh. But it is what it is bcuz I always say a person’s real character will show no matter what Persaud they try and put out there to people. I’m off this. And none of y’all racist people better not come under my comment with your crap. Mind the business that pays you and keep it moving bcuz this is my opinion. And I don’t do people that have hearts of lions behind a computer or phones
Anyone with a difference of opinion these days is racist. The word means nothing anymore. Is George Floyd god? No but hes got murals and statues. People are just saying in a day where the left will try to ruin your life for having a different opinion it’s nice to see someone not bend a knee to the delusion and bullshit.
Thank you . He really don’t care . Regardless of what George did . He sound really stupid and crazy . He may think all the other blacks killed by the police that was innocent should’ve died . Folks kills me by mistake . Mistake is burning a cake you can redo that but a life no . Lamont should’ve just remain silent on this . That cop had a history with George and wanted to do that .
Regardless that cop did society a favor!....Justice for the woman he punched in the stomach while pregnant...along with all the other criminal shit he did...You're next !!
@@nicolebryant5956 because he’s giving an opinion on whether he thinks it was intentional or not has you saying he probably thinks innocent people deserve to be killed? You’re an idiot. You sound dumb. You should have stayed silent. Chauvin was wrong but he may have thought George was lying to get out of being on the ground just like he lied to fight his way out of the cruiser (just like many criminals lie to police every day in order to try to get away with their crimes or pull some shit) but ya im sure he did it on purpose he had so much to gain from it 🙄🙄🙄
Sorry Lamont I have to disagree with you in the video at 7:18 when you said it was an accident but it actually wasn’t an accident he murdered George floyd and he had priors as a police officer causing harm to the African American community it wasn’t his first charge he was charged 3 years prior with conduct unbecoming of an officer after he handcuffed a 10 year old child who was African American and slammed him into his police car and also 2 years before that he was suspended for slapping a woman she was arresting so I’m sorry but Derick chauvin was a violent criminal himself and he used the oath and the uniform of a police officer to commit crimes against the African American community so I have to disagree with you Lamont the murder of George floyd wasn’t an accident it was murder. If it was an accident him and his fellow officers on scene wouldn’t usher people away from the scene and wouldn’t give each other cover stories like they had done it was first degree murder in my opinion and opinion of many others and he was found guilty of murder too now spending 25 years to life in prison where he belongs he is what makes good police officers look bad because of him no one will trust police again
Nah he was probably resting it was hot all that equipment imagine and then u got a man high and resisting arrest come on now home boy swallowed a brick of that shanola
I guess Floyd wanted to die!! He was the one telling them to put him on the ground.. They kept trying to get him in the back of the police car but he kept saying that he couldn't breathe.. Floyd was so high he probably knew he was going to die..
Whether saint or sinner, when a person in their custody says that they are unable to breath, a police officer can’t simply ignore someone’s pleas like that though.
Lamont have you seen the actual video of Derek Chauvin with both knees on George Floyd's back?Did you listen to the testimonies of the people who were standing there watching Derek Chauvin sit on George Floyd's back?None of those people said it was an accident and they were closer to George Floyd and Derek Chauvin than you and I.If you have someone pinned down and you are holding them down by sitting on them,or by holding their arms,and legs down.. that isn't an accident. You have accidents and then you have things that are done intentionally. By the way a few years before George Floyd was killed,a young 14 or 16 year old male was beaten in the head by Derek Chauvin and once again Derek Chauvin sat on the back or chest of these teen.There were people standing by recording that as well.This young teen had blood running from one of his ears from all of the blows to the head that Derek Chauvin gave him.John Pope's parents already have lawyers that are going through the court process to have Derek Chauvin tried for this crime.This young man thankfully by the grace of God survived. The only problem is his long term and short term memory has been affected. And he has problems with his much of his mobility.So I say that to say this.Was that crime an accident too?You just said that you were not going to discuss it or mention about what happened to George Floyd because of basically differences of opinion yet you had a whole lot to say about his funeral.With that being said and regardless of what anyone thinks no one,and I mean no one deserves to be killed/murdered in this manner.The reason why Derek Chauvin got 22 1/2 years,which he should have received a life sentence is because the world was watching and the world came together for justice.And the world had a larger opinion that Derek Chauvin was guilty as sin.Now his fellow former coworkers have been brought to justice.They could have easily stopped that from happening and pulled Derek Chauvin off of George Floyd. They were and are just as guilty as he is.Derek Chauvin had 21 violations/complaints in his file, and initially that wasn't going to be mentioned or brought to the jury to see and or hear.The department knew about what he did to that young teen and ignored it,yet they went against him in the George Floyd case.I didn't buy or believe a word anyone from that police department said.They are all just as guilty as he is.They only went against him because for one a human being was killed/murdered and it was recorded, and they went against him because the department wouldn't have been able to handle the heat or the pressure from the public.I cannot wait until the trial of John Pope takes place,where Mr.Chauvin himself will once again have his day in court.The saying goes "you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time". I guarantee you,naw I know that Derek Chauvin is not getting any kind of good rest in his cell.Unfortunately there are many Derek Chauvins out there.The thing is all these law enforcement officers are trained to the fullest, it's just that they want to change and illegally bend the rules by not going by the book.George Floyd wasn't perfect, but then again none of us are are.Did he commit crimes yes, and stealing is definitely a sin.But guess what Derek Chauvin committed a sin as well.He committed murder.The bible says that " your sin is no greater than mine".The bible also says "vengeance is mine said the lord". It didn't say vengeance is man's,it said the lord's. Derek Chauvin had hate,vindictiveness, evil,cruelty,wickedness and vengeance in him,which is why he is where he is right now! Oh well to bad so sad!This murdering beast/monster gets to breathe!Derek Chauvin just better hope and pray that he makes it out alive during these 22 1/2 years that he has to serve.And every knows that a former cop coming into prison is a death sentence.If I were him I wouldn't be so focused and worried about dropping the soap, I would be worried about being beaten to death with a big cloth tied and wrapped up full of soap.
Lamont I do like to view some of your videos. But I do agree we all have our own opinions how we see things. I'll give you credit about that part. Derek Chauvin deserves his sentence like anyone else who kill/murder a person. George Floyd was already handcuffed it doesn't matter if he was resisting arrest or not. I'm not here to argue with you Lamont or anyone else. A police officer job is to protect and service that's it. Not place a knee on someone's neck for several seconds or minutes.
Hey LaMont, you mentioned that some people might debate whether George really deserved that big funeral, but always remember that the funeral is for the survivors. So if it helped his family to feel better having that big expensive (donated) casket, and the horse drawn carriage etc. let them have it all. Maybe it helped his kids to feel like their Dad was someone respectful, you know? Those kids have lost their Dad, and at least they have that big deal to remember him by. Thanks for your time. Leah Sarlls
This could not have been said any better the great big funeral is for the family and spare no expenses for the memories George Floyd 😞may he rest in peace 🕊️
If I’m not mistaken, don’t Lamont have a criminal record? Unless someone MALICIOUSLY murder a innocent person, or hurt a child , no crime is that bad to where what that cop did was ok.
People forget that America is the Land of the Free! Unfortunately the Cancel Culture does not want to hear the truth, but rather live in the dark and ignorance. Thank you again for standing your ground with your research, truth and opinion.
Another great channel Lamont. Much love from 🇬🇧. Keep doing what you do and you can’t please everybody all of the time and even more so in this day & age when people love to be offended 👍😂
I’ve seen the video and in my mind I think, if he had just complied! All the money spent on his funeral and to hire a private coroner and his grave is unmarked!! Such a complete waste of so many lives! I completely agree with your opinion Lamont! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
The problem was that once he was on the ground, he wasn’t given a chance to comply. Chaivin told him to get into the car, and Floyd said he would. But when he told him to get up right at that moment, Floyd said that he couldn’t, which is understandable given that he was still pinned to the ground and couldn’t move.
It is what it is. I don't agree with many things that happened with this situation and some others. The problem I have with the aftermath is that he was glorified as if he found the cure for cancer or something. Seriously unbelievable...smh
George Floyd didn't deserve to die the way he did. I think the cop went too far, putting pressure on George Floyd's neck. Rest in peace to George Floyd and prayers for his family for comfort and strength. Great story and video of George Floyd. All lives matter.
All I am going to say is I think you are right Lamont!! Being a police officer is a tough job!! For the most part I watch your channel and appreciate your honesty when you film your vlogs!! Thank you!!
I respect you Lamont, although I do not agree sometimes on how you view things. We all have our own opinions and thoughts on everything. As I am sure there are many things you most likely see differently than I would. I like that aspect of your channel. Much Love ❤
@@Lamontontherun with all due respect for your channel, I can’t say that I agree. It sounds more like a karmic look at the case to which there is no legality for it. I believe even the most hardcore criminals deserve a fair trial imho
The funeral was more about the way he passed and by whom. It may have been extra and overdone but it was done to soothe the restless soul of the country who witnessed this horrific death by people who are employed with serving and protecting. He could have been arrested and taken away but it ended otherwise. We can not unsee this event and those of us with sons live with this fear everyday. Our children are not perfect and most come from difficult backgrounds but by no means should anyone have to see another person expire like this and it happens all too often. Make it make sense. Thanks for covering him though. I do not agree that the officer felt bad, he didn't care and I do not believe that he will do all of his time. This country is rooted in hate, it has never gone away. The cycle designed to be in place will remain as it is beneficial to those who govern it.
Probably not the best idea to post the location of his grave. It would be the target of all kinds of defacement or worse. Both sides would want to leave their mark.
I heard they had bad blood between each other to start with...heard they did security somewhere and didn't like each other then and then happened...idk....I don't blame you not having it up and I agree with you it wouldn't turn good...I watched it and tried to look at it on both sides of ppl and that was hard to figure out....thank you Lamont for everything you do and your channels are great 🙃
Police Officer here. At first, I wasn’t going to add my thoughts until you said “Bad Training”. Let’s be clear, A “Human Heart” and “Human feelings” will supersede “Training any day. Let that marinade.
It wasn’t no accident that man intentionally killed that man…I don’t care what he did in life it don’t give nobody the right to take someone’s life, I don’t care who you are. That was dead ass wrong 😡
I love you, not in a creepy way, but in a respectful way. I've been watching your videos from the start but this one made me want to comment. This guy did not deserve the attention he got.
Normally I love your videos, but this was just too much! There is so much we have heard and so much we haven't. Why all the speculation? No matter what he did, no one deserves the injustice served by the officer on that day!
Unless he was a child murder/abuser/ or malicious murderer! Yes George Floyd had a rap sheet but he was not a killer or child abuser and didn’t deserve that
@Rogers2424 How about you do better and pick the side that finds something better to do than respond to my comment of still standing firmly in what I said instead of feeling you know me well enough think I wanted Lamont to choose. Now you have a nice life...
I get that Lamont but in the end George was someone’s son / brother and uncle he shouldn’t be judged upon his death no matter what he’s done , he didn’t deserve to die that was , I saw that video was horrific what those cops did RIP MR George Floyd 💐💐
George Floyd's death was not accident. Chauvi meant to keep his knee on his neck and got comfortable when the man said he couldn't breathe. I don't understand the commentary.
The cops had the man detained already , what that cop did was overboard show boating and in case you didn't notice the cop looked like far from reality in his own eyes. Something had definetly snapped out with him you could see it in his eyes. Excessive force and beyond is what that cop did and yes he should jailed for it , absolutely
I think the reason you're so respected,and loved on RU-vid is because of your honesty. I applaud you ,for having the courage to say what you really think. Your story telling is legendary,your insights are fair, honest and compassionate. I would love to see the other video,and I hope you'll post it. We all have the right to our opinion, everyone needs to respect that. What happened to George Floyd,in my opinion,was straight up murder. I think the sentence given was just,what I hated was the rioting. Why can't we come together as human beings ,and try to change things together, peacefully,with intelligence,and perseverance? I guess I have a dream too.😀
Lamont is not a racist he is explaing it in a way that he sees it !!!! he is level minded he not siding with anyone !! He knows he gonna upset people about his view ❤️ god bless to you all ❤️
Another great video my friend, Keep 'em coming! Have a beautifully blessed day! In my opinion, the sooner we get past this Floyd thing the faster we can can begin to heal our country.
Actually, Abraham Lincoln's correct quote was "You can fool all of the people some of the time; you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." - New York Times, 08/27/1887. There was no inclusion nor intention of the word 'please' or 'pleasing'.
Lamont, I always respect your content. You always present well-rounded commentary based on research. You don't just talk to 'talk'. Keep the commentary coming.
Hi Lamont, I have been going thru your postings on this channel for a few weeks now. I enjoy and do sub to a few of your others channels. And sometimes I post a comment. So I am a little bit behind on this channel. I respect your point of view, and honesty. I think maybe it could open a pathway to more discussions on this case and others. I feel that some should look at this piece and "argee to disagree". No need for hatefulness. Do I agree on your description of the police officer? Yes I do, the US does not provide the needed training to police officers. In most of Europe, it takes year's of training for a person to become an officer. In the US it takes only a few months. Police Officer's need additional training to deal with people who suffer with mental illness, or addictions. Do I feel that the money spent on his funeral was out of control? Yes, I think that money should have been placed aside for his child. Or it could have been setup to help other's who have addictions, or maybe a scholarship in his name. Do I feel the Officer should service time? Yes, he is sworn to protect and service his community. His actions that day reflected he did not care to do that. Mr. Floyd was restrained, he was not able to breathe. No indication that the Officer was in fear of his life. He had no cause to keep his knee on his neck. He failed to up hold his oath, in doing so he needs to answer for his crime, as would anyone who breaks the law. I agree that some people used his death to just riot. Nothing will ever change if we riot. We can be angry, but we take that anger and we use it in a peaceful matter. Change comes from open dialogue, that express the pain, hurt and suffering that Mr. Floyd's death caused. Words are more powerful than we know. Violence and damaging your community will not change this world. It will only give people the wrong message. I am sorry for the long post. Lamont, I truly enjoy your channels. I hope you are safe, and many blessings to you. Please continue doing what you do best, just being yourself. Much love and respect.
I think we all have are own opinions on stuff and thats ok, we dont always have to agree or have the same opinions. I enjoy your videos Lamont, keep being you 🙂
It was a ridiculous send off...and yeah it was overblown. I agree. And here we are 3 -4 years later, we're finding out a lot of cover ups and other information that was starting to come to light. But you're right Lamont, I have to agree with you on a lot of the things you said. Thanks for keeping it real.
Funny, you got negative responses just talking about it, and you pretty much told it all anyway. I would watch it, it sounds like you did an honest summary of the situation. Your still the best my man! (Edit, honesty is a rare commodity.)
Agree 100 Lamont fine job. 👏🏻 What happened to him was disgusting and should never have happened but FFS let’s not pretend he was some kind of hero. Keep it real. 👍🏻
