I read an article from the NY Post titled "Everything we know about George Floyd". I find it interesting that the writer says that Floyd "had several scrapes with the law", yet he didn't mention the specifics. In other words, they are telling us only "some" of what they know about George Floyd. It had already been written that Floyd attended the "Big House" for armed robery of a residence. They refered to him as "Gentle George".
It seems to me that many are afraid to truly write about everything that they know about the man. Possibly the writer is not afraid or writing all they know, but instead is promoting an certain agenda. Possibly both. Either way, they are not telling the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Starting your racism kinda early, eh Boil?
According to the CDC the number 1 cause of deaths for blacks under the age of 44 is homicide, accounting for 33% of the deaths.
Perhaps the black community should be more outraged for this (without the riots).
To put this situation into perspective, according to the Bureau of Justice stats there are over 40 million police/civilian encounters annually. The number that are a problem is microscopic.

Indeed, it's true.
Social Justice Looters may be "demonstrating" at their own peril.

Violent protests over the death of George Floyd have shaken the country from New York City to Minneapolis, from Atlanta to Los Angeles. Some protests have turned into riots and clashes with police, leaving stores burned and torched cars in the streets. City officials have ordered overnight curfews to quell the violence.
Floyd, a black man, died on May 25 in Minneapolis after a white police officer pressed a knee into his neck. It was the latest in a series of deaths of black men and women at the hands of police in America.
Health experts fear that silent carriers of the virus who have no symptoms could unwittingly infect others at protests where people are packed cheek to jowl, many without masks.

Exactly, he keeps trying to dig up facts about George Floyd to justify the fact that he deserved it. His original statement that the cop murdered the "black crook" is his defense that he's not racist. He just cant see it
I'm very surprised that police across the country are responding to the protests in such brutal fashion---even when the protestors are peaceful. I'm also very surprised at all the brutality inflicted on reporters.
Trump is, of course, lying out his ass when he says that the protests are being fueled by left-wing extremist groups. The reality is that several white supremacist groups are involved in the violence. Trump's serving the same function he always has---to create and exacerbate social division.
I have no doubt that both the killing of Floyd and the police brutality we're seeing are the result of an overall police culture that views Blacks as violent troublemakers who are inferior to Whites in every way.
Unfortunately, the current ruling political party shares that view, as do our resident Trumpers. And the worst part of it is---their racism is so automatic and reflexive that they don't even see it.
