None of this would have happened if one incompetent cop and his fellow officers had simply handcuffed the perpetrator and taken him into custody.

If the officer involved in the Minneapolis incident with Floyd (and his fellow officers on the scene) had simply followed procedure, subdued the suspect, handcuffed him and taken him into custody, the riots, the burning down of businesses, the tearing down of statues, the shootings of police officers and all the other mayhem that's occurred over the past month would not have happened.

I know I'm stating the obvious.

That was only one incident. The left used it, and will use any other incident they want to fan the flames of dissent and revolution. They’re ready on a moment’s notice to respond. If the Floyd incident hadn’t ended in his dying, this would have happened at some point, because it isn’t about Floyd, or race, or social justice...it’s about President Trump’s reelection, and trying to put the blame for everything on him.

Exactly.

There were going to be riots this summer, no matter what.

Gotta hand it to the Democrat Party: cooping up ordinary people for months on end, while letting thousands of criminals out of prison was a nice touch to make the riots extra volatile.

Yup. But when did facts matter when the truth is right there?

[[None of this would have happened if a career felon who was high on drugs and had serious health issues hadn’t resisted arrest.]]

Bingo- The police did follow procedure- while waiting for ambulance to show up- which was nearly there-

Bingo! And it’s going to get worse all the way until November.

The October surprises will be memorable this election!

Yeah right. This is not about George Floyd. He is just the handy excuse. Had his case not appeared another would have ben created. Remember that in the Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin cases the shooters were not found guilty but the false saga went forward and BLM was created.

Nah, these protests were planned way before George Floyd’s death. They were just waiting for any event to trigger it. and there is always something.

Until the Wendy’s shooting in Atlanta. Then we’d be right where we are now.

Sounds like you’ve personally watched a lot of Adam12 episodes. And maybe never rasseled a 6’7” doped up crook and got him in the car.

>>It was supposed to happen with a war against Iran in January. The hysteria over the killing of the IRGC general makes me believe that was supposed to be the “trigger event”.

Those street protests were all from Leftist Communist agitators as well. Sign boards indicated at least 5 such organizations were involved.

And the enemedia was airing Iranian state propaganda as news.

[[They tried to take him into custody.

He fought like hell.

He died of a fentanyl overdose, cardiac arrest and a side dish of meth.]]

Exactly- Just to add- He may very well have died from ‘excited delirium’ a well known condition that drugged out perps experience when under stress- which causes heart failure- He was already experiencing it well before he was taken into custody and put in the car, as witnessed by the fact that he was complaining about ‘not being able to breathe’ while sitting in his own car before being taken out, and walked over to cop car-

Not many people want to even admit this fact unfortunately- they wanna believe george was in a ‘chokehold’ when he clearly wasn’t-

This was all pre-planned so if it wasn’t the Floyd case, something else would have been used as an excuse. The media/dem complex is willing to burn the country to the ground in their mad quest for power and their rabid hatred of Trump and his voters.

He also had Coronavirus, unknown if it was also affecting his breathing.

The media has shown ZERO interest in learning where the phony $20 came from.

Nope. This is a planned Marxist revolution, Floyd’s death is just the excuse. As mentioned, if Floyd wasn’t killed, Marxists would exploit the death of someone else, like, Ahmaud Arbery (the jogger), Breonna Taylor, or Manuel Ellis (the guy in Tacoma, WA).

Every month just gets worse. Have to wonder what is in store for July.

It was purposeful to ignite race riots.

True, and I do think Chauvin deserves punishment because at the very least he didn’t handle his duty of care to a handcuffed arrestee properly, and at the worst was the proximate cause of Floyd dying in his custody. But they would’ve found something else. It would’ve been Rayshard Brooks, for instance, despite that being 100% a justified shoot. But facts don’t matter.
