Riot began an investigation into Johnson after he shared an image critiquing George Floyd’s character and downplaying his murder. The image disparaged the “media and the left[‘s]” depiction of George Floyd as a martyr, and called his character into question, asking “who was he really?”<\/p>\n

The offending image then goes on to list George Floyd’s criminal record. Johnson posted the photo with his own comments, calling Floyd’s death a “potential” crime, but also insinuating his criminal lifestyle was at the heart of his death, or in Johnson’s own words “[it] never results in good things happening to you.”<\/p>\n
