Floyd, who grew up in a tough Houston neighborhood, had big dreams before he began to struggle with drugs. His family and loved ones remember him as a kind, family man.

    "He was a protector" He protected a pregnant woman from having too much money.

    Bet his family wouldn't swap the $27M for having him back.

    man if only he didnt die... he could keep doing crimes :(
  • @cgh7337
    He was a kind, family man who robbed & stole from others.
  • It's hard to say something great about someone that didn't do anything great.
  • @seanwallace3516
    Great great guy. The way he held that handgun to that pregnant lady and said he would kill her and the baby if she didn’t open her safe was magnificent . His other violent offences and drug taking were lovely
  • @user-uy5py5ih2t
    They brought in his 2nd grade teacher?! So she’s describing someone almost 40 years ago when they were a child and expecting us to he was the same person? ABC news is reaching real hard smh.

    It's ironic that everyone is an "ANGEL" when they die
  • @KB-ke3fi
    His family told him to get out before he left for MN. Now they all love him. Check out his police record in Houston.
  • They left out the time he did a home invasion and held a gun to a pregnant woman's stomach....
  • It's weird how in our history of the world criminals have become martyrs and evil men have become heroes
  • @ffrancis6213
    Between 1997 and 2005, he was convicted of eight crimes. He served four years in prison after accepting a plea bargain for a 2007 aggravated robbery in a home invasion. In 2014, he moved to the Minneapolis area, residing in the nearby suburb of St. Louis Park, and worked as a truck driver and bouncer.

    He was always shooting fentanyl, putting guns to pregnant women's stomachs, had counterfeit money. He was an angel
  • @Gunnicool007
    They left a lots of things out about the truth about George Floyd.
  • @adrianb1430
    I’m laughing at how these people are trying to make us buy the idea that he was an angelical person… I mean… maybe deep inside he was a good person, but he also committed crimes and they do not mention almost anything. It’s just stupid how are they trying to manipulate people's brains… but sadly it works for some…
  • They had to go back 30 years to find someone who wasnt a friend or relative to say something good about him
  • @Dave-yw2wc
    Don't feel too sad, he once robbed a pregnant woman by beating her and holding a gun to her stomach. He's also been involved in dozens of felonies from drug related charges to armed robbery.
  • @megawatts4112
    99 percent of the people commenting on this wouldn’t let him mow their lawn and definitely wouldn’t have let him in their house.
  • @dpretzer2304
    they had to go back to 2nd grade to find a teacher who could say anything nice about him

    3:20- “being surrounded by police, drugs and violence” she said it as if the police are the problem.
