So why were there no protests and riots with a majority of people of color marching the streets for justice?

So why did the media not cover this for their full news each and every night for weeks?

I would LOVE for the leftists to openly and honestly respond with their thoughts to these two questions, but they won't.

The riots aren't about cops or racism. That is simply the cover story for criminals.

Poorly written.

Do they not hand out grades lower than A anymore?

And it does sound like a manslaughter.

Hate the fools making it about race and the ones playing along and especially the media.

I'll give it a shot.
1. there's a difference between the protest and the riot
a. protest are a peaceful demonstration taken over by b.
b. riots are trash opportunist who saw an change for free stuff and the fact that it would be blamed on good black people didn't matter to them.
I digress. I believe and I could be wrong....white people dont care about their poor "white trash" criminal, under served, less educated population. Neither political party does. If it's a cop thing not a racial thing like multiple posters here said and I'm wrong they would be protesting with "us". Black people do care about our inmates because it's extremely likely that these people grew up with us no matter how successful we become.
The reason it's not on the media is because if it wasn't for "our" "situation" you guys wouldn't care about this man dying either. News sells and it wouldn't get a click usually.
I AM NOT A LEFTIST!

No civilian video, it was all body cam footage so it could be hidden, and released quietly and it doesn't seem the family picked it up either.

Also, I don't have a dog in this fight (even though i'm black I haven't been as upset with this as others and just silently donated (not to bail out people btw but other things)), but why do people get angry when black people don't fight for their rights, as if black people or POC, are supposed to fight for others rights first before they fight for their own rights. If you don't care about white folks being brutalized by certain police officers why do you expect sympathy for something you obviously have no interest in. If you cared about the man's life you would have brought it up months ago and tried to get awareness, instead you wait for a black person to get brutalized and say: look here he got brutalized and we didn't say anything . Just because your willing to take it up the ... from authority doesn't mean others should allow it as well. It doesn't mean others should focus their energy on white folks being brutalized by police officers, when they have plenty on their plate themselves.

I'm not the first one to say it, but it's embarrassing that you use your inaction to critique's others actions.

I say this being a strong supporter of law and order, and increasing police budgets, and increasing police presence in violent areas, as well as longer sentences and elimination of bail. I've seen criminals able to run rampant in parts of Nigeria, and that's because the police are underfunded and technologically on par or even behind some criminal organizations in some cases.

Because white folks are marching already with black folks. There doesn't have to be a march. This Floyd situation was just the catalyst. It's all for full on police reform to stop what happened to Floyd and this man from happening to anyone else of any color. This just happens to be headed by the black community.


This thread is the equivalent of a 4 year old walking up and saying "But teacher I have a booboo too!".

March with the Floyd protesters if you feel strongly about this.

Many of you seem to lack critical thinking. Almost as if you have some agenda...

Let me answer that for you. HELL TO THE NAW!!!

However, every the issue points to whites being racist.....invariably they will go out and google an example of the same thing happening to a whites to clear the image of whites and make blacks looks like they are the problems for making it racial.

In other words, blacks can be said to be something even if it is not exclusive to blacks....but in order for whites to be accused of something, there can be NO EXAMPLE of anyone else doing it. If there is, white people will find that example and start a topic showing that it can't be racial when they do it because the same thing has happened to whites.
