Is it because of black on black police violence or Trump wasn’t running for office?

The video was a million times worse than George Floyd?
Can any Dems tell us why their people didn’t burn it down?

God sent Memphis an ice storm. Protestors don’t like cold weather because they are all pussies

Because to them black lives only matter when whitey is the culprit.

The same reason they don't loot in Chicago over the murders there.

The button pushers typically ignore these scenarios

A Memphis cop shot and killed someone at library yesterday.

Cop was also critically wounded, but is stable now.

Barely made the news.

I would also wager that since it was black cops, that the White Liberals were upset too...

Media could not scream racism as loudly so they gave it a fraction of the air time

I would have to add that Memphians love Memphis. There is pride in that city different from other black cities like Baltimore, DC, Chicago, etc...

Black Memphians have had plenty of opportunities to burn the city, riot, and loot. It never does to the extent the media expects or wishes it would. They were the tamest during the BLM riots. Hell, they literally elected a white mayor.

They were actually charged before the video came out. The Georgia jogger murder was similar.

Two reasons:

1) We haven't been holed up in quarantine mode for weeks on end, so people are not as antsy to get out of their house.

2) It's frigging cold. Not many people want to stand out in 30-40 degree weather, even for a "cause."

They're not going to riot when it's just thugs doing thug things.

Black on black crime tends not to move the needle very much unfortunately, but God forbid someone addresses it.
