On George Floyd: There is NOTHING to Protest

With the mayhem following the last Monday death of arrestee George Floyd, many have pointed out that protesting is fine, but rioting is not. While obviously true, something equally so is left unsaid:

There is nothing to protest.

It’s not as with the murder of Justine Damond, where it took eight months to arrest the trigger-pulling Minneapolis police officer, Mohamed Noor.

It’s not as with the killing of Virginian John Geer, where it took 18 months to arrest the cop who killed him and later pled down to involuntary manslaughter, Adam Torres.

Of course, Damond and Geer were both white. So not only were there no protests, riots, looting or burning; the incidents weren’t even covered nationally. Nothing to see here — move along.

In contrast, it took mere days for the officer in the Floyd case, Derek Chauvin, to be fired, arrested and charged with third degree murder and manslaughter, and the other three cops involved have also been axed. So what would satisfy protesters? A summary execution? (In some cases, yes.)

Oh, but there’s the big picture, many say? There sure is, and it’s this:

Far more white than black suspects are shot every year by cops.

This isn’t merely due to whites being far more numerous, either. After all, research finds that police are actually more likely to shoot whites relative to the races’ different homicide rates and the rates at which they feloniously shoot police.

A study also showed that cops are, in reality, more willing to shoot white suspects than black ones.

Black suspects are as likely to shoot at police as to be shot at.

According to FBI statistics, 46% of those who murder police officers are black.

White police officers are actually less likely than non-white officers to shoot and kill non-white

All this navel gazing when the reality is that this national disgrace is not about Justice for Mister Floyd, it is about herding blacks via their emotional status as 'proclaimed victims', to get out and vote for their massahs, the dnc demon rats. Blacks are too easily exploited by the hand that keeps them on the demon rat plantation.

Sadly, black people are incapable of seeing that they are allowing the demon rats and globalist to employ them as useful idiots in the aborting of The Republic which has fed them, clothed them, housed them, and offered them means through education to escape their victimhood, because the dnc must never allow their vote slaves to awaken to the truth of who it is that is herding them via their emotions and deep lies pressed into the mind of their souls.

Let us be clear at the outset that African Americans legitimately have grave complaints about the extreme abuse their ancestors suffered under slavery and the discrimination and disabilities imposed upon them after slavery.

Perhaps an unfortunate choice of words.

The view that some today hold a legitimate complaint that the rest of us should recognize serves to justify and even fuel the current behavior; and is inconsistent with the balance of author Salzman's otherwise informative argument.

As most of today's Black community has demonstrated, they do not live in that earlier world, except by choice.
