Jacob Blake is accused of raping a woman, violating a restraining order - but you call him victim.
George Floyd was a drugged out ex con who held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly while his friends ransacked her home - but y ou call him hero.
Juliet Germanotta is a passenger in a car seen on video being attacked - and you question her morals.
I was going to say it must be difficult keeping the different rules straight - but then I realized all you do is determine left or right to decide which one is the victim and which one the criminal.

Even if Floyd did what OP claimed he did that doesn't give the police the right to kneel on his neck for nine whole minutes like a goddamn animal . He wasn't a threat at the time of his death.
Not to mention the police call that lead to his death was about an alleged counterfeit bill . Hardly a violent crime , let alone one worth using lethal force over.
Too bad racist assholes like OP can't seem to understand that.
The rules are you can commit a crime and still be a victim. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
You understand the rules, you just don’t like them. You want the rules to be that victims are who you say they are. You want the rules to be that victims have to be absolutely perfect because fundies really seem to like the idea of people deserving to die horribly.

Assholes like OP do something similar when it comes to rape too.
Basically if a rape victim is anything other than a sober conservatively dressed, innocent virgin (or failing that, a good Christian housewife) attacked by a stranger, they'll argue endlessly that : A) what happened to the victim wasn't really rape or B)The victim deserved it for being a "stupid slut"
It seems they also really like the idea of "slutty"/"uppity" women being "put in their place" or "punished" via rape.
First of all you massively and shamelessly exaggerate the criminal record of George Floyd and consider an allegation good enough as guilt for Jacob Blake which is insanely hypocritical. Second even assuming the absolute worst? If those men had eaten babies it would not have justified summarily killing them at what should have been a routine stop for a non-violent offense and at a time they posed no threat. Floyd was already restrained and too addled to struggle, slowly crushing his trachea has no excuse. Can you imagine if for example if Mel Gibson had been choked to death for mouthing off after being pulled over for driving under the influence? If mass murderer Dylan Roof was shot repeatedly just stepping out of his getaway car and the officer in question only found out afterward about him killing nine people? If Karla Homolka, half of a duo of murderous serial rapists was gunned down for jaywalking long after serving her pitiful sentence?
Or just imagine a man who is alleged to have sexually assaulted more than a dozen women, who is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, who demonstrably breaks the law on a daily basis, narrowly escaped charges of treason, inspired acts of terrorism which he applauded, and committed uncountable uncontested acts of financial fraud and violations of professional and political ethics was treated the same way for trespassing on government property come next year as any other person would? If the Secret Service so much as bruised him let alone used deadly force. Some young children can be shot to death for being on a public sidewalk with a eulogy of "had it coming" but some career criminals can't have mean things said to them without the one saying them needing to fear punishment.
Confused?
