As George Floyd Video Makes MSM Headlines, Clip of Black Cop Violently Choking Young Man Nowhere To Be Seen
westernjournal.com ^ | 5/28/2020 | Jared Harris

The cop and the apparent suspect seen in the clip are both black.

With the young man pinned against the car, Smith yells at him while bystanders urge the officer to relent. Like Floyd, this man also complains that he cannot breathe while being restrained.

They can’t claim that all Whites are racist based on that video, so it has ceased to exist.

Black cops shoot unarmed white man a couple of months ago and where were the riots, outrage, and media?

Big difference. In MS, no one was killed.

This is how the media covered the storyt of black officers shooting unarmed white man.

Notice no mention of color, or race what so ever

That was fascinating. They mention a female cop, name the injured person but race is not mentioned at all.

In discussing the Floyd situation, one of my favorite youtubers (who happens to be black) commented that people don't know whites are more often killed by cops than blacks.

Why would they show us that? That doesn’t fit the narrative, and if the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

Quite striking isn’t it how the media can manipulate the headlines to fool the ignorant masses who in turn actually do not think they are ignorant, but think of themselves as educated.

No mass media covered this black cop shooting a unarmed white guy. No riots. No pundits talking about it.
I was looking up the stats of black on white and white on black to find that more whites are killed by cops than blacks.
This is being pushed by the Democrats and media which are the same so they can keep the turmoil going, say Trump has not got an idea and race relations are at an all time low.
Notice we open up after this flu which is good news so now the narrative shifts top this and now race relations.

Obviously, it’s time to riot. It’s our own fault if we sit on our a**es and do nothing.

It’s the restraint that’s at issue, and the risk of injury.

All of these videos have one thing in common. The thing which we should be laser focused on. Police brutality, police overstepping their bounds, and an overt lack of concern for the citizenry they are sworn to protect.

When these events happen the powers that be need to move the spotlight away from their enforcement arm. If the particular video gets no traction, then nothing needs to be done. Easy. But if it does, then we see them fan the flames of racism. Anything to divide us and keep our eyes off the prize.

Once we as a people throw these race baiters aside, take a hard look at those that try to rule us, then and only then can we get our freedom back.
