A human was murdered by politically motivated people.
I think this aspect of the 2 things makes them comparable for the purposes of deciding if funny memes should be made. yes.
What was political about the murder of George Floyd by a police officer, aside from the response?
Floyd was not murdered for political reasons, unless you’re arguing that being black is in itself political. He was murdered by a white cop for the crime of being black and allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill.
Saying Floyd’s murder is political is racist, because there is nothing political about petty street crime unless you’re racializing the situation. And even then, it’s really only political in a post facto sense.

I think you might be right. My reasoning was that if your political party/orientation includes racism, then this would make this a political reason, but that should probably be counted seperately.

Otherwise? Absolutely not comparable.

George Floyd was not killed for his political opinion. George Floyd was a state sanctioned killing by police officers. They are fuck all alike.
