Increasing numbers of Houston residents have reportedly been diagnosed with COVID-19 after attending protests against the death of George Floyd.

Large protests began in the city days after the death of Houston native Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25.

“Harris County, which encompasses Houston”

In reality that is not true. Houston city limits extend beyond Harris county in some places. In addition, there are at least six incorporated ‘cities’ within Houston city limits. State law allows such things. ;-)

Protestors = Self Righteous Racists Hypocrites

Does anyone else besides me see the appalling hypocrisy of judging all white cops any where and every where across every police department in the nation on the basis of one white cop's actions in Minnesota, or the actions of relatively few white cops in the recent past?

Well the virus does like to feed on Black folk.

Partly. But it’s mainly being used to push for another total lockdown which will hammer the final nail in America’s coffin and, they hope, pull down Trump as well.

The mayor of Houston was adamant that the uptick in cases were NOT to be attributed to the gathering of protesters.
Yes he is a democrat.

You forgot a pandering idiot....gotta put that in there...
