It is stunning how many recent riots over purported racial injustice have been based on phony stories. Ferguson, Missouri was pillaged and burned over the false contention that Michael Brown was gunned down with his hands up (the Obama Justice Department confirmed that he was struggling to kill the police officer arresting him for a strongarm robbery he had just committed by grabbing his gun when he was fatally shot). Baltimore was sacked over the contention that Freddie Gray was assassinated by police officers deliberately tossing him around in a police van (a jury acquitted the officers).
Just this past week, rioters looted downtown Minneapolis on the false story that police had gunned down a suspect who had, in fact, committed suicide. Which was captured on surveillance video. Yet, Target, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom were still looted.
Most damaging of all, 3 months ago, the first videos released to the public created the impression that George Floyd was asphyxiated by Officer Derek Chauvin of the Minneapolis Police, whose knee on his neck prevented him from breathing. That account has now been proven false, yet is still embraced by nearly all of the media, public, and political figures (including Rudy Giuliani, whose address to the RNC referred to the “unforgivable police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis”). The facts of the case have been suppressed with Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison delaying their release, but we now have body cam footage of the entire encounter of Floyd and the medical examiner’s report that indicated he had a fatal overdose of fentanyl in his system, which caused him to complain multiple times, “I can’t breathe,” while sitting upright in the police car from which he bolted, leading to his being pinned down.

” (including Rudy Giuliani, whose address to the RNC referred to the unforgivable police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis)”
I’m sure that by now Rudy knows the truth about George Floyd. Using his death in this way is shameful, disgraceful, but that’s politics.
The ONE body you don’t want to die with is George Floyd (or aka George Kirby, or George Taylor or Floyd Taylor).
He is “untouchable” just like that PUNK Trayvon Martin.
So Rudy, for the sake of politics, forsaking TRUTH, took one for the team.
I will forgive Rudy and the Trump campaign this ONE small indiscretion, maybe a few more for the WIN!
WINNING (THIS) election is imperative to the survival of our nation.
To SAVE our nation we HAVE TO win it ALL! The House, Senate, and presidency. Without ALL THREE we are only “delaying” our destruction.
TRUMP in a LANDSLIDE with “coattails” like nobody’s ever seen, is the ONLY way our nation survives.
It’s NEVER about [insert supposed victim’s name here]. It’s about the REVOLUTION.
Like Hans Gruber and The Asian Dawn movement, "I read about them in Time Magazine."
The media is focused so much on purported racial injustice so the don’t have to report the truth about the BLM BS.
They will never report the truth in an election year.
Delusional people MUST be dealt with. You have no choice. They WON’T go away...

In each recent case There are squishy things for and against the police. The knee on George Floyd’s neck may not have killed him, but it’s a bad look. And seven point blank shots on the Kenosha guy? Maybe two, but seven is a lot. And choking out the man in NYC for selling cigarettes? Bad optics.
We need the police, but sometimes they just make life hard for themselves.
I don’t get the taser thing. I’ve watched the TV show Cops for years and every time they use them, the perp drops like a rag to the ground screaming in pain. Were these lessor (kindlier) tasers or was Jacobs on drugs? I don’t get it.
Did Blake steal his ex-girlfriend's car keys, and was he about to steal her car? Whose kids were in the car? Were they Jacob Blake's? Was he kidnapping them? Why don't we know? Did the cops know? Are there post-shooting photos of the knives, the curved knife that Blake was carrying in one video, and the knife on the floor of the car? Why haven't we seen them? The domestic disturbance that the police were investigating was between Blake and his ex-girlfriend, right? Is there a tape of her call to the police? If so, let's hear it. There is at least some video of Blake struggling with the police, though it was taken at a distance. Could we please see that video with the action magnified?
If more information, ACCURATE information, had been quickly released, it might have saved lives and property.
It's a shame that the ex-girlfriend has lawyered up. She may no longer be a reliable source of information.
