Out of how many protesters?
I'm sure that our right thinking, compassionate white folks would disapprove of that as being oppressive, unless, of course, the 51 were white supremacists.
Once again, you surmise.
Actually, they arrested the four officers whose action "sparked" the protest. You'd think that should have been the goal, the way to minimize so-called systemic police brutality. Especially when even just about all the "conservatives" agree that the cop was guilty and should be punished to the extent of the law.
Think of what it takes for one guy to do this and three others to stand by and do nothing? How many times have they played the game of push the perp in one door and yank him out the other and "keep" him pinned for trying to resist arrest? You think we are ahead just repeating this every few years? Many law enforcement professionals disagree with your militaristic viewpoint, history does also since your crush the demonstrators method has escalated violence in almost every occasion. But that is the objective, then you can claim that protesting is wrong.
But if no white cops ever killed another black man, they probably wouldn't be doing their jobs. Unless there were never again any criminal black men. It really doesn't happen that much where it's not "justified." So George Floyd's death was justified?
We've seen this movie over and over, several times, white cop kills a black man, riots and burning, maiming, killing by "protesters" ensues--which don't seem to stop the white cops killing black men. Punishing the cops is never really enough.
Is your view that many people believe all police officers should be punished?
Then comes the usual predictable deluge of understanding and important white folks, celebrities, politicians, speaking mea culpas for all white people--the entire privileged, racist, race of white people.
This time, we're going to fix it. First, for the umpth time, we white folks have to come to grips of how guilty we all are. Once we do that, it will be easy to realize what matter of reparations and how much money must be spent to once and for all, fix it.
If you make enough self flagellating, guilt ridden declarations, new symbolic laws or regulations, giveaways, wealth transfers, etc., the bad feelings will go away. For awhile.
Trump is different. He upsets the norm. He must be destroyed.
