However George Floyd being dead or alive is meaningless but the idea that such a "clean death" happened and he was given a funeral of such high publicity being closed casket is questionable to the highest degree. The manner in which the trial went down was comical at best. The manner in which Chauvin was stripped of every right guaranteed by the Constitution is the most jaw-droppingly obvious act that of subversion and demoralization that any of us have ever witnessed.
