For those of you who get outraged, is your outrage equal or selective?

Revised:

My point is that we as humans need to be consistent in our outrage. Don’t wait for media to show you what to be outraged over. Take initiative & express outrage over ANY HUMAN killed by anyone. When you play selective outrage you contribute to division & the race wars narrative.

I don’t have any outrage when it comes to race. But what that cop in Minnesota did to Mr. Floyd absolutely pisses me off.

Government overreach outrages me.

I don't typically express outrage about any of those things. People do terrible things. Stay out of situations that increase your chances of people doing terrible things to you.

I like to think it’s equal.

Then I‘ll occasionally step outside myself and realize that, like most people, it’s selective more often than not.

Sorry, not sorry. It’s all part of being human.

Selective.
A person kills a person in selfdefense ... no outrage.
A person kills a person in defense of others ... no outrage.

A person kills a person who is handcuffed by kneeling on his neck until he's so obviously dead that bystanders scream "check his pulse" ... outrage.

I’m seriously beginning to suspect that these cops are getting paid to abuse black americans to cause racial strife. I know that sounds bat shite but those white cops just can’t be that stupid to do what they did to Floyd in Minnesota in 2020 america and think they’d get away with it. I want some serious investigative journalists to look into seeing what happens to those cops after they get fired. In reality those ex cops should go broke, end up on food stamps, have their homes foreclosured, vehicles repossessed, and be ruined. I bet they aren’t though I bet they’re being paid to do this crap. Nothing scares the ruling elites more than a racially unified working class.

This!!!

I’m all for the policing system to be overhauled! It’s safe to say, that we all agree there are some police officers tgat don’t need to be wearing a badge. There needs to be a better system to select and have them wear a badge. More aptitude test, more non lethal weapons, more body cams etc. But if your selective in your outrage...you are part of the problem!

Few years ago, during Michael Brown shooting, we saw people all over Social Media, MSM and celebs voicing frustration, “something needed to be done”, and Micah Xavier Johnson did something. Those same celebs and virtue signalers went silent...deafening silence!

One year Before Michael browm, Dillion taylor was unarmed and shot dead, body cam footage, but he was white...nothing. Another guy, One month before Michael brown, a gas station called police bc there was a suspicious character in the parking lot. Police roll up, ask the teenage white kid to get on his knees, he complies. He’s wearing saggy jean tgat keep falling, so he pulls them up. Officer pulls gun and tells him to keep hands up. Guy pulls jean back up and black cop fires two rounds into his chest, killing him, body cam footage, He was unarmed and committed no crime. Barely a mention in MSM and no virtue signaling or rioting.

Want to fix the problem...stop being selective and silent when this happens to other races.

misuse of the word hypocrite (and probably a misunderstanding of the overall issue. more accurate words would be cucked, brainwashed, controlled, manipulated, useful idiot, etc.

If George would have been white then media would not have covered the story. Therefore you wouldn’t have been directed to be outraged. Since you wait for the media to tell you when be outraged, you would have had no reaction due to the non story.

We kill close to a million babies a year in this country alone, legally.

People want to take the high ground when there is none.

As far as i'm concerned, some of everyone's tax dollars goes to fund PP and to colleges that teach BS. We are all guilty.

We should all be storming the castle for whats happening in this country.

Keep the guns clean and enjoy the show till it comes to my door.

If we can't protect the innocent, none of us should be protected.

Nah, I ain't mad.

You can add Daniel Schaver to the list.

Dumb. Really dumb.

The media pushed outrage with Trayvon Martin. My outrage was reserved for the prosecution and mischaracterization of facts. The media pushed outrage with Michael Brown. My outrage was reserved for the "hands up don't shoot" idiots.

What happened to Floyd was homicide. Whether that be 2nd, or 3rd degree, the facts will need to be distilled.
