When George Floyd was allegedly killed by a callous police officer needlessly placing his knee to his neck for several minutes, the nation was united, for about a minute. Nobody in America looked at that video and thought, “that guy got what he deserved.” Nobody. And yet, leftist-led protests that quickly turned to lawless riots quickly turned off a huge segment of law-abiding American society. Instead of a rational, national discussion on police militarization, community policing, use of force, proper de-escalation tactics, and other common-sense reforms that would help ALL races in their interactions with law enforcement, the ‘movement’ quickly became about defunding police forces, creating quasi-communist policeless states in the middle of major U.S. cities, and “dismantling systemic societal structural racism,” or something.
Tragically, what should have had absolutely nothing to do with race became ALL about race as the chattering class used one example to ‘prove’ a point real data and statistics can easily disprove. Instead of bringing in white and other color victims of unjust police brutality to create a multi-racial coalition against an evil that can affect anyone, and there are plenty such examples, they literally canonized a career criminal who once did five years in prison for holding a gun to the stomach of a pregnant black woman while her house was robbed. No, there weren’t 18 funerals for Tony Timpa and Daniel Shaver, much less a golden casket or a horse-drawn carriage, but those men also died unjustly at the hands of police, and both of those incidents, when you examine the details, were arguably more unjust than Floyd’s. The difference, of course, was the color of their skin, which is probably why you’ve never heard their names.

ReplyDeleteSo, if Floyd had not had drugs in his system, and had not used a forged check, then all would be peaceful. Similarly if Brooks had not been drunk in public then all would be peaceful. Let's just call it out. If these LAW-BREAKERS abided by the law, they most likely would still be alive. Black Lives Matter seem to be asking society to forgive petty crimes of judgement, yet ask for equal places in society of law abiding citizens. Well, that is not just. Seems they want a passing grade for unfinished homework.
ReplyDeleteNo the difference is the white community did not bring awareness to it and allowed it to be swept under the rug. Now whose fault is that. someone should stood up for them too.
ReplyDeleteYes it definitely made me aware covid is a lie. Other then that is all politics money and power.

Did you notice that now Trump has a rally planned they are all b#^aching about the social distancing and how bad the numbers will jump? But funny thing, Not a one was saying anything about all the riots and peaceful protesters. Then last night right after the mention of the Trump rally all of the sudden the numbers have risen in 11 states. I call BS, its nothing more then another way to try to bash Trump and should the numbers jump it will be all the Trump rally goers to blame, No it won't be because of the violent ones, That sneaky virus does not affect them at all.It only attacks those that vote red. That sneaky virus,
