Glad to see that you support the protestors.
I didn’t express a value judgment on the worthiness of the protests, but if you want to open that door....
9 unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019 while 19 unarmed white men were killed by police in 2019. Without searching, name one white person that was killed.
1,004 people were killed by police last year alone and approximately 10,000 over the last decade. Name one Asian. Name one white. Name one Polynesian. Name one Indian. Name one Hispanic. You can’t. Nobody can. Because only one narrative is driven by the media. This comes up every election cycle. They force it down our throats and don’t allow anyone to escape it.
Not only can I not name one non-black killed by police over the last decade, I can’t even vaguely describe the facts of any such death. You don’t find that even a little suspicious?
I can name one non-black person killed by police in my entire life and that was the GF of my best friend since kindergarten, Marcus Padilla, who was also killed.
As for George Floyd. That was a blatant murder and it makes me very angry to watch how casually the officer took his life and how little his racially mixed peers did to stop such an egregious abuse of power and disregard for human life. If it was up to me he’d be tortured to death.
The job attracts bullies and the powerful unions make it hard to fire bad officers.
