CMV: George Floyd doesn't deserve to be immortalized as he is

Context: I'm bring this up because of Obama's comment on Floyd in response to the Uvalde shooting recently, and I used this as an argument in a comment that I believe deserves it own post.

First off, I don't think he deserved to die. I believe any death of an individual during detainment or while in police custody must be performed by an outside agency (the FBI being an obvious choice).

Second, his criminal record shows a past of drug abuse and violent crime.

While a tragedy that any life is loss, George Floyd didn't live the life of a saint. Fentanyl abuse, robbery, breaking and entering, threating a pregnant women with a pistol to her stomach. The list is decently long.

My view isn't that he should've died, nobody's life should be taken away unless they are found guilty of an extremely heinous crime (for me that's crimes against children, specifically sexual crimes, but that's off topic). My view is that he shouldn't have become a martyr for BLM.

Edit: I do have a wacky sleep schedule, and I will try to respond to as many top level comments as I can. All views are welcome, and thank you in advance for your inputs.

I don’t know why you mentioned drug use twice in here, do you think there’s something about someone using drugs that should make their murder less sympathetic? It’s not like he was killed in a drug deal.
