you are right. One was fighting for equality and against police brutality. the other was a bunch of whiny bitches upset their guy lost and tried to overthrow the government.
The America "as you know it" is constantly changing. It will continue to change. If it doesn't change with the times it will ultimately fall behind.
No. The George Floyd riots were about a bunch of thugs destroying their own communities and trying to get a bunch of free stuff. They could care less about George Floyd and why would they? George Floyd was a criminal thug himself and really served no purpose in society.
You're mixed up. George Floyd riots was about people reaching a boiling point about Police Brutality especially when there was a video of the knee on a man's neck...suffocating him with nearby police not concerned about his life. That police officer would eventually be convicted of murder...unaminous vote by the jurors (some Republicans and some Democrats). Cities in America and many other cities around the world reacted in anger and were shocked by the police brutality by rioting in their communities and other communities. Yes, like many riots in America since the 1700's, many people do not know the person that was murdered, or beaten by someone but it was still a violation because at the time of the murder (knee on the neck)... The country and the world were in a Pandemic and many people were tired, angry, and unemployed because the government was shut down, schools closed, the government did not know how to manage the Covid Pandemic, and many protestors and rioters lost relatives & friends in the Pandemic... Statistically, many protestors were not thugs. At night, young rioters would come out and loot stores. They were not rioters...they were just looters. Simply, while the Police were busy battling rioters at night...looters were busy stealing from the stores. My neighbor is a high-ranking police officer here in Quebec and I know a few police officers in the Chicago area... Two different countries with the same identification: Peaceful protestors during the day, Rioters targeting the Police...mostly day and a few at night, and Teenage Looters robbing the stores. All of this is because the three different groups of people were tired of Police Brutality and tired of the Covid Pandemic. You said in an earlier message post that Trump will fix crime in America. If that was true...why was Trump not able to prevent the riots of 2020 in America and the riots in other countries in 2020 ??? What about riots around the world in 2019, 2018, and 2017 considering Trump states "often" the world was at peace when he was President ??? Look at the riots of 2019 around the world when Trump[ was President @ https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2019/dec/29/2019-year-us-protests-in-pictures My point, Trump cannot or does not know how to fix crime in America, riots in America or abroad in other countries, and Wars in other countries. Trump, Biden or any other politician can not control what another human being anywhere on this planet decides to harm, steal, or raise arms against someone else...similar to the Trump administration not being able to prevent the riots of 2020. You're in a fairy tale if you think crime will stop during another Trump Presidency. Reality check, it will most likely escalate just as it did when Trump was President in 2020...shit happens. Trump brings chaos for Americans and the world...it's a proven fact considering George Floyd murder/riots are an issue for you (you're the first to mention George Floyd name in this thread) and I suspect you'll soon be targeting others as your message posts has the same racial trajectory of other banned members in the past...the same ad nauseam pattern. #bookmarked wrbtrader
BS.. The George Floyd riots happened because everyone was bored from being trapped home from covid and it gave them a chance to blow off steam, wreck a bunch of stuff and then rob and steal. It was a shit show AND FOR WHAT? Some useless thug that served no purpose in life and committed home invasions and sold drugs! George Floyd was a piece of garbage and a father in name only.
You said in a prior post that Trump will fix America's crime problems even though you and Trump have stated America was better and the world at peace to contradict what you're stating now that there were the George Floyd riots... You do realize the George Floyd riots occurred when Trump was President??? We both know the above is true...why did Trump not prevent the George Floyd riots and how will Trump solve police brutality when as you call it...everyone was bored from being trapped home??? I'm only outlining your prior statements with you starting a conversation in this thread about the George Floyd riots. Also, now pretend that the police arrested Trump (a convicted felon 34x and found guilty in civil court of fraud & rape) and the police put a knee on Trump's neck until Trump died...do you think the police officers should be arrested or forgiven because technically Trump is considered by many as a "thug" too that also happen to be the former President of the United States. Did you know that many people were arrested that day in the same city before George Floyd was murdered by police... Why did everyone of those other people survive their arrests and why were there no riots/looting/protests in the same city/same day before George Floyd was murdered by police when everyone was trapped in a Covid Pandemic??? Short answer - Police did not put a knee on their necks even though the other people arrested earlier in the same day would be considered to be thugs because the Police are trained to know what happens when a knee or choke hold is used to cut off the blood flow in someone's neck for more than 15 seconds. One of those people who did not get a knee on the neck was a man arrested for driving a stolen vehicle...arrested for a DWI. He had a prior prison record too for drug trafficking and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident... Why not a knee on his neck too considering he was bored after being trapped (locked down) at home too in the Covid Pandemic??? Doesn't he qualify as a thug like George Floyd in your mind and shouldn't have the police put a knee on his neck until his body was lifeless while other police officers stood by and did nothing??? By the way, in the military...we were trained the following... Temporary or permanent brain damage can occur in as little as 30 seconds; brain death can occur in four to five minutes. Police officer Derek Chauvin put a knee on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes 29 seconds, longer than initially reported. The length of time that Mr. Chauvin was initially said to have knelt on Mr. Floyd was put on masks, shirts and signs and became a rallying cry for months at protests in Minneapolis, across the U.S. and the world. What did President Trump say about George Floyd being murdered??? THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. My fellow Americans: My first and highest duty as President is to defend our great country and the American people. I swore an oath to uphold the laws of our nation, and that is exactly what I will do. All Americans were rightly sickened and revolted by the brutal death of George Floyd. My administration is fully committed that, for George and his family, justice will be served. He will not have died in vain. But we cannot allow the righteous cries and peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob. The biggest victims of the rioting are peace-loving citizens in our poorest communities, and as their President, I will fight to keep them safe. I will fight to protect you. I am your President of law and order, and an ally of all peaceful protesters... https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/statement-by-the-president-39/ Reminder, you started the conversation about the George Floyd riots in this thread when the thread starter started a thread...whining about Liberals and Prisons. wrbtrader
all trump had to do was say “those cops are a bunch of assholes, but most cops are good.” he couldn’t do it. Instead he gassed a bunch of people to get a photo op.
“those cops are a bunch of assholes, but most cops are good.” Alex, I'll take what Trump said about the Capitol police on January 7th.
