So you're not big on the whole trial by jury thing?
I don't think he killed George Floyd. I think the officer let him die without offering assistance. We will see what comes out at trial.

Now the concept of personal property loss is just too much? It is a systemic issue that needs resolution. Not just use of force but incarceration as well.
The rule of law, do you know what that means? You really are an idiot. I bet you don’t even vote. Just like the thugs that are burning down cities. You people are scum. Y’all should all be locked up

People need to realize that a lot of these protesters are normally very law abiding citizens that work hard in life. But now we’ve been dealt a wild card: coronavirus and the lockdown. 40 million people are out of a job through no fault of their own simply because the government did a lockdown and deemed their jobs as non-essential. If you can’t feed your family and you’ve done everything to the best of your ability, then you start rioting.
This is why these riots are particularly vicious. People that are pissed off that they’ve lost their jobs and businesses. Their entire purpose and livelihoods have been stolen from them by the government. Now they have a very good excuse to riot. You have the usual lazy frickheads rioting, but now hard working citizens also rioting with them. We’re in a perfect storm for it.

You guys are really angry and incredibly defensive.
I do vote, work, contribute etc. But changes in our country have typically come as a result of uprising. We search, arrest, incarcerate, and use force disproportionately on minorities.
Think about how many of us smoked dope in high school, drove intoxicated, maybe got let go by the cops for some random infarction. We didn't become felons, lose rights, become unemployable. We grew up, got jobs and got to shrug off our poor choices as kids. Lots of minorities don't get to travel that path.

Then you’re an idiot at best and a racist at worst. Don’t breed.

I am sure I have racial bias but what specifically makes me a racist?

No, not really. I am advocating for whites to be treated the same way. Once we are impacted we can help bring change.

If you don’t think that people don’t want to burn down the system after Covid (forget the racism), then you really haven’t been paying attention.

I think you misunderstood my statement. I don't think the police officer was without culpability, just after watching the video I think George Floyd was having a heart attack. I still think the officer shouldn't have stayed on him and should have offered assistance.

Okay. I haven’t heard of anyone wanting to burn down building and cities because of Covid.
Maybe we run in different circles.

Don't be obtuse. Do you really think that white people are treated the same with regards to the law as minorities? Crack cocaine for instances?
