For example the same people who cried about a black woman on a pancake box won't say a word about black on black crime or lack of black fathers being huge problems

They're also fine with actual racism as long as it's racism against white people
Woke whites and white women Karen's run America and its capitalism

No hindsight necessary, we all KNEW it was an overreaction while it was happening. We were def living in crazytown at that point.

Which proves obama was successful in what he spent eight years working so hard for. He did nothing for thee blacks but masterfully divided the races and the nation. He dream is becoming a reality.

With 310 million citizens, there will be a small quantity of these cases all the time, just like we should expect in a very large, highly populated nation.

We will take care of it, as we should, via the justice system.

It has no deeper meaning, though, other than being a rare occurrence.

So your proof that Floyd wasn't made a hero was because you didn't make him one? Congratulations, you're one out of millions, proof positive for sure..

Actually, we did and your post does.

There was one cop involved in the actions leading to Floyd's death. Now I also blame the non rookie cop right behind Chauvin for basically being his offensive linesman.

I do NOT blame the 2 rookies present, as while being trained by 2 vets, I would not expect them to take charge in any way.

The ignorance of the left-wing was grouping the 4 as if they were equally to blame.

That was never the case.

Thank you and each poster that also substantiated my summation. Bravo !

Keep labeling ad nauseum . Total disregard for a life lost. - that's where the over reactions resides.

Deflection doesn't work . The time has come to face the injustices that had embedded itself and called ' normal'.

Correct. We have a horrible history of picking career criminals over law enforcement and national guardsmen.

The fact that George Floyd, literally committing crime until his last breath, has a statue speak volumes.

It's easier to devalue a person.
He was a thug, a career criminal, drug abuser, and absent father.

He was literally arrested for trying to cheat his own local community store with counterfeit money while high on fentanyl and had 5 kids.

No one is perfect, but the man had 8 prison stints and was institutionalized, unable to functional as a normal person outside of prison.

It was a perfect example of how the left glorifies and sustains thug culture with blacks…..
