So I am asking our minority posters to tell us all what we as a nation can do to end this reasonably.
I think you meant to say virtue signaling. Virtue signaling by either side is meaningless, adds to the confusion, detracts from discussion (which is what is not happening and what you are seeking), and as far as what we can do? The answer is nothing but be aware. The public didn't kill George Floyd. Rotten unethical police procedure wielded by a guy whose motives are unclear at best, and done before the public is why we are in this mess.
He has been arrested and charged with murder. Seriously, outside of a trial and conviction what else can actually be done?
The rest is an attempt by organizers and the Democratic party to try to alter the election possibilities of Joe Biden. It is negative publicity paid for by innocent citizens. Those shown to be complicit with the street violence by direction, or by tacit support through bail for the violators, or phone instructions of where to strike next, should be stripped of public office and tried for sedition and held personally liable for the damages and loss of life suffered in the riots.
The minorities collectively don't know what they want. Some of them been told they should want to rise up and teach their oppressors a lesson. Some of them march lawfully and thoughtfully to bring the eyes of he nation upon the incident in all of its cruelty. It boils down to what it always comes back to. Some people behave responsibly and productively and should be assisted and heard and others use any provocation to lash out in hate, while others use those lashing out in hate as a cover for crime. Each motive is particular to the person. And that is how it should be judged and how it should be treated.
Social grievances and redress is not about compensation. It is about future conduct by the government and its employees. That is why the marchers march for all in legal protest. But it is why those who lash out in hate and those who use it for criminal activity have to be separated by their actions and motives from those acting on behalf of us all whether we agree with them or not. The mere act of lawful protest is an exercise that is essential to freedom. The others have to be dealt with legally because they are either purposefully, or selfishly, attacking the rights and freedoms of all of us and detracting from lawful exercise of protest.
