If George Floyd had not been killed where would all those protesting, rioting and bereavement be?
If George had been a victim of black on black crime how same or different?
Why George and not the victim in Georgia? Significant difference? How? Why?
Is this economic based? Other? How does the reaction like “burn down the entire system” solve thee problem?
What does the solution look like? What’s the downside of that look, if any?
Sigh I’ll take a shot at it.
1. White cop, stop killing black men. hello! Are you there? Get a clue already.
2. Apply white privilege to POC. If the guy is walking down the sidewalk with a bag of groceries, and a black mask, that does not mean he just robbed the convenience store. Also there is no need the choke him to death. Sorry. Make it a slow night. I know but deal with it.
3. Mandatory steroid testing for all white cops.
4. White cops, don’t body slam a skinny 65 year old black man, breaking his ribs loose from his spine, then cuff him on his stomach with your knee in his back while he screams in agony. When it turns out it’s a case of mistaken identity, the cop goes he matched the description. The description was for a 220 pounder in a muscle shirt and skullcap. Union claims he followed all policies.
5. DA comes on TV and claims he can’t bring charges in a brutality case because the coroner claims he can find no injuries resulting from the choke hold. Like death isn’t an injury?
So just stop doing all that crap. Start there and we can talk in six months. Aside, my neighbor a detective just quit his job. He said he can’t do it any more. He claims nobody likes cops.
