    I heard that it was a bad check and I heard that it was a counterfeit $20 bill--is it clear what the issue was yet?

    Where does it say that Christ does not have the power of death over us?

    Nowhere.

    The only instance when a believer dies outside of God’s timing is suicide.

    Every one of us in the body of Messiah have immortality until Christ’s work for us is done.

    Maybe I misunderstood you. I agree that only in God's timing do His saints die. The wicked are given time to repent and put faith in Jesus Christ.

    Jesus Christ was ordained to die and rise from death as He did from the creation of the world.

    Why is the thread over if George Floyd was a murdered believer?

    Just joking over the post that said he was a believer. Because if that’s true then this happened by Christ. But it’s hard to see it given the circumstances.

    Yes, it's something to wonder about, but where are the articles discussing how he was drugged and set up with a counterfeit twenty. Who framed George Floyd?

    In the 911 call that led to the arrest and eventual death of George Floyd, the caller claimed that he was drunk and tried to pay with counterfeit money. The call in question was made at 8 pm on Monday, 25, by an employee at the Cup Foods, a Minneapolis grocery store which is located across the street from the place where Floyd was originally handcuffed. The transcript of the call was recently released by the police. "Someone comes (sic) our store and give us fake bills and we realize it before he left the store, and we ran back outside, they was (sic) sitting on their car," the 911 caller said, as per a TMZ report.

    The caller, along with a coworker, had asked Floyd to return some cigarettes to the store but, "he doesn't want to do that, and he's sitting on his car cause he is awfully drunk and he's not in control of himself." As per an Associated Press report, Floyd allegedly tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill, which is a non-violent crime. The surveillance camera at the restaurant across the street from Cup Foods captured the interaction between the employees and Floyd. The emergency dispatcher got a description of the blue van that Floyd was sitting in and a physical description of him before the police responded to the scene. Before disconnecting the 911 call, the operator was heard asking the caller if Floyd was under influence and the caller said, "Something like that, yes. He is not acting right."​

    And then there are the stories and posts linking him to a people of color "adult" website called the HabibShow, where he was purportedly "an affable performer" known as "Floyd the Landlord."

    Are they just trying to malign a "Godly Christian man" much like the beloved NBA star Magic Johnson who tested HIV+ and had to retire after admittedly "having" more than 2000 women?

    A "godly Christian man...."? was passing counterfeit bills??

    Granted- that in itself does not justify being kneed for 7 some odd minutes...

    and now others have died due to the non-peaceful protests

    You and Cuomo are part of the problem. You don't believe Christ's teaching on Seventy times Seven. Haters relish the bitterness of perceived victimhood..

    racism is not victimhood. Of course I perfectly understand why some would be so desperate to deny it.

    Where is the social distancing that the Mayor of Minneapolis called for? Imagine rioting during a pandemic. No wonder Edmonton will be locked down until September.

    Having spent a lot of time in the Minneapolis area, that would be "Cub" foods.
