You know G Floyd may or may not have been murdered more but I an continually dismayed to see right leaning post that ignore how all of this is supposed to work.
What’s kinda weird about this whole “police brutality” thing is when you remove the BLM aspect, I agree with them. Police can, and often are, bullies, but with all races. And it does need to come to a stop. I’m very much on board with the end of no knock raids Rand Paul is championing. And let’s be frank. The main reason for them is the war on drugs, which is really just an excuse to “get” people, usually in bad neighborhoods.
It reminds me of the retired couple pulled over by a state policeman on a “Popular drug trafficer” highway because the tint on their window was too dark according to his meter. But it was a factory tint. :)
It didn’t stop the cops from searching their car for hours. And in such a situation, you just pray the cops don’t plant drugs.
The police have not been our friend ever since they made 55 the federal speed limit. But that’s just me.
But the bottom line is that when you remove the racial component, these people have a valid point.
Anyone else think the whole thing was planned, including the murder? Obviously not with Floyd’s participation.
They are constantly scanning the news, looking for events that they can turn in their favor. It was not a spontaneous reaction. It was encouraged by radical marxists and democrats. The media immediately knew their role, and turned it into a major crisis.
I just posted this on a similar thread...hope you don’t mind my posting it here.
I find the biggest parallel (in my eyes) in these riots to the world-wide protests back in the early Fifties related to the Rosenberg Trial.
There was communist backed and orchestrated world wide outrage against the death sentence for those two.
In the end, even though there are hard core holdouts saying they were innocent, the Soviets themselves admitted in the end they had been spying for them. And that Ethel Rosenberg was involved too, not an innocent.
But I see parallels in this international “outrage” not to mention what we have here.
Additionally, decades of indoctrination in public schools has given us what I saw the last two weekends-I drove through a nearby town, and the high school kids (mostly girls) were in the town common holding up BLM signs and George Floyd related signs of support. Yesterday, in my own neighborhood, I came across half a dozen high school kids (again, all girls) blocking the road, scribbling BLM and George Floyd related BS in the middle of the road with colored chalk.
I don’t know why it seemed to be only girls doing this, perhaps the young guys aren’t as gullible for it, or perhaps they are lazy or stuck in the basement with porn and video games. I don’t know.
But it made me think that the people who foresaw the fruits of their brainwashing must be beamingly proud.

It's class struggle, but it's a faction of the ruling class that's pushing it.
