The Police Officer that killed George Floyd had 18 complaints against him and he was disciplined twice. Why wasn't he fired? The Public Union protected him. It didn't matter that he had complaints of being rough including to white people.
Derek Chauvin probably didn't keep his knee on George Floyd because he was black, but rather because he had a history of being rough to everyone and the Public Union was fine sweeping it under the rug until he killed a man.
As a teacher I will point blank say that Public Unions protect bad teachers and give bad teachers who did little the same pay as the best teachers who work their butt off.
Many Public Unions have set up their own health insurance corporation that the union owns, forces a monopoly with the school during collective bargaining and then overcharges above fair market value for the health insurance coverage - kicking back the largesse to high pay incomes for union leaders and favored (democrat) politicians' campaigns. They can even run these health insurance companies as not for profit while raking in mega bucks and doing this.
how about un ion s for teachers where they can molest kids and still work? try LA school where they ship them off to a closed school and sit for years - never fired
or how about construction workers that get 40 bucks per on the check and another 30 buck in benefits to drive screws in drywall, hang sheet metal, nail 2x4's together and each worked gets the same weather he's a ball buster or a slacker?
“Floyd was killed because Minneapolis has a Democratic mayor.”
“Floyd was killed because his parents didn’t spank him enough.”
“Floyd was killed because of feminism.”
Etc.
any way you parse it "Floyd was not killed because he was black"
