Some thoughts about the murder of George Floyd
As I understand it, Mr. Floyd was accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill.
I have never seen a report which confirms that the bill in question was in fact counterfeit. That is something I would like to know.
If the bill was in fact counterfeit, I haven't seen any reports as to whether or not he had any more in his possession that day, nor any reports of an investigation into how he happened to have one. It seems to me that this is the kind of information which the Secret Service would desperately want to know.
Of course, even if he were guilty of knowingly passing counterfeit money, the punishment he received most emphatically did not fit the "crime".

bank (credit union) I took it to ran the bills through the machine and caught it. I thought all the cash in teller drawers was checked, but the manager said with Covid, the tellers were wearing gloves and the money feels different.
Anyway, the bill was sent to the CIA. You are not reimbursed automatically, but I was for various reasons.
I meant to file a police report but didn’t get around to it. I filed various reports with the bank who gave me the bill—fraud dept, etc.
But the bill was confiscated and sent to the CIA. (edit-with my name on the report! )
