> It implies Floyd somehow deserved to be shot in the back and killed.
No it doesn't. This is wild hyperbole. No one deserves to be shot in the back.
However, people are painting him out to be an angel - quite literally there are multiple artworks of George Floyd with a halo and wings [1]. The reality is he was human, and one with a complicated criminal past who was jailed 8 times [2] including for drug offenses. Is saying that someone with a criminal record like that "didn't live a virtuous life" really a fireable offense?
