Watching her sister and others talking about a miscarriage of justice.

I wonder what the posters here think is the reason the officers were not indicted for anything related to her death.

I see three possibilities:

1. It is because they are white
2. It is because they are cops.
3. It is because they are not guilty of any crimes with connection to Taylor’s death.

What do y’all think?

I am going with (3).

The protesters/rioters seem to prefer 1 or 2 or both. I just wonder, on what evidence? Seems like race decides it for them.

The rioters/protesters all believe in the myth that it is 1 and 2.

The mainstream lefties like our posters here stand quietly without correcting them even though they know it is #3.

Not a peep. Guess they are OK with it.

Staying silent while one's ideological fellow-travelers do bad things is at best contemptible weakness, or even tacit endorsement of those bad things. No?

George, it always amazes how you and Ham can always cut right to the meat of the matter.

Well, gosh!
In the second year of the Second World War, when the US was still officially neutral and the British Commonwealth stood alone, FDR's special envoy Harry Hopkins was an indispensable personal link between America and Britain, equally valued by both Churchill and Roosevelt for his ability to distill the key points of an issue. Churchill nicknamed Hopkins "Lord Root of the Matter".

To be thought of in even remotely similar terms is quite an honor. :)

I guess for a Rice guy, we should call you the Lord Brown and Root of the Matter.

I guess this is what is meant by “peaceful protest”.
