If this means getting rid of the unions, I support the direction.

You know, when I saw the video of the policeman kneeling on Floyd's neck, and causing his death, I was outraged. I believe a vast majority of people of all races, were united over this. I was on the side of the protesters.
Now...not so much. I don't understand why some people don't know when to quit while they're ahead. The violence (especially the mob violence) that we've seen, and the looting has drained all the empathy out of me. Scenes of a hundred mostly black rioters dragging a man out of his truck and beating him, or of them destroying businesses, and even beating two people in Riverside by swarms of blacks, who even stomped on their heads while they were lying on the asphalt have me no longer concerned about the plight of blacks in this country. I even saw them beat up an old lady after they pulled her off her bicycle. I'm surprised they forgot to slam some of these victims on the ground with cinder blocks like happened to Reginald Denny during the Watts riots.
I'm glad the four officers involved in Floyd's case were arrested and charged with major felonies, but other than that, I'm all out of empathy. Hopefully some day I might care again.

Those responsible for George Floyd's death have been arrested and charged. Justice for George Floyd is happening.
17 people have been killed in the riots. Few if any of those innocent victims will receive justice.
"Systemic racism" in America has yet to be defined by anyone involved in the protest. It's a myth. America has never been less oppressive for blacks than it is today. America elected a Black man President--twice. We're done.

As many have observed from the outset, the protests are protected Constitutional rights and are usually peaceful. but democrats, and liberal democrats in particular, never let a good crisis go to waste and peaceful protests are a waste of a good crisis, so they have people come in from outside and seed the peaceful protests with violence. Come nightfall (usually), those marching or holding rallies are whipped into a frenzy either by individuals targeting, for example, the police cruiser, or a single event that can be blamed on the “common enemy”... once the violence starts, the low lifes come out of the fringes to loot the local Walmarts... it’s all part of the democrats plan to destabilize us to the point Trump cannot get re-elected. |

Is it just me, or is it beyond bizarre that the biggest hero in America, the one who has millions kneeling or bowing down in his name, was imprisoned three or four times, had traces of fentanyl, pot, meth and morphine in his system when he died, and was trying to pass counterfeit $20 bills?

It is just you if you believe those facts are relevant to those looking for the event they planned for and knew would come. my guess is, most people know the facts, just as most people know George Floyd didn’t have to die because of those facts. but you know liberals hate to let a good crisis go to waste, even if, as in this case, they have to manufacture one. |

I see you've stumbled on to our diabolical plan. Next we're going to get DWTS cancelled. That's the most ridiculous post I've read in quite some time, and that's saying something. Good job giving yourself an excuse when trump loses big in November though...I think you'll need one. |

I think it's just you. What is it that you find "beyond bizarre"? Why do you try so hard to find a reason to dislike the guy? Is it necessary that we like someone to believe they were treated unjustly? |

You forgot broke into a pregnant woman's house, and held a gun to her stomach while his pals ransacked her house. Here's what's worse..if you DON'T march, raise your fist, take a knee or apologize, you're tone deaf, insensitive and / or a racist. Apparently it doesn't occur to those people that turning them into / keeping up the notion they're all victims isn't a really good long term strategy. There are so many great black role models they need to listen to who all think the BLM stuff is BS. And BTW, I don't think you're defending, excusing, or lessening in any way, shape or form, the fact he was murdered by the cop. Making this guy parade material has nothing to do with what was done to him. |

Making Cultural Appropriation Great AgainThe Great White Masters--having ignored this issue since their party took control of the House of Representatives--will now, in their Election Year benevolence, reach down and raise up those they believe are inferior to them and who are thus unable to improve their lot without the largesse of their betters.

This is about as ridiculous as their march across the street ( with the Star Wars Darth Vadar music added ) to deliver their impeachment papers. ( About a month late I should add) What a bunch of fools. In other pictures you can see that Jerry Nadler must be too fat to kneel, as he's just standing looking at his phone.
