Not good! And of course, I know, what you are aiming at, but I don't recall this being part of the arrest of George Floyd at the day, he was murdered! So it really DOESN'T MATTER! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Baerboxer Posted June 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2020 2 hours ago, Jingthing said: Finally facing the nation's original sin openly and head on. I make no claims to be a policy wonk so you're barking up the wrong tree. A first step is electing officials that get that there needs to be big changes. This will be a generational process. You can't reverse centuries of injustice instantly. President to be elected Joe Biden “We can’t leave this moment thinking we can once again turn away and do nothing,” he said. “The moment has come for our nation to deal with systemic racism. To deal with the growing economic inequality in our nation.” First sin was slavery? Hmmm, So you have no issue about the extermination campaigns, theft of land, property, rights, culture, etc from the Native Americans? Slavery is abhorrent, and exists today as a global issue. But so do other sins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a well known activist who set out to break the law and he's achieved his goal of provoking those Police. ???? You should have ended your shamfiull display at "I agree they should not have done that". But you can't help yourself and start the victim blaming! He was a 75 year old man, shuffeling towards them at snail- speed! Surely completely provocative! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet when the police show up to break up the gang warfare, they are unfortunately set upon by both sides regardless of the officers races themselves. Killing anyone when you are wearing a uniform has always been either scrutinized heavily or brushed away. Floyd was cuffed and that should have been the end of the story as he should be sitting in Jail right now, unless the Fentanyl and meth in his system had not already exploded his heart.

There was a massive amount of press about that tragedy at the time. But it wasn't linked to systemic racism against white people in the USA because that's not a thing. White people were not brought over in slave ships. Surely you can comprehend the difference? Edited June 7, 2020 by Jingthing 4 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not stopped for that. He was stopped for a fake $20 note, which i dont know has been proven. Regardless, if he was a career criminal or a rhodes scholar, it matters not. The officer murdered him, for no reason other than he could. So what you are saying is that bevause he did something bad years ago its ok, summary justice, police can kill him bevause you think he is bad. Since when are you or police judge and jury. And thats exactly why the protests. Because people like you think its ok to be judge and jury, and that just happens to target blacks. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
