You won't see this on CNN.
Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley says the
race riots in Democrat-run cities following George Floyd’s death are based on a lie — gleefully fomented by the left-wing media — that there has been a surge in white cops killing black men. In reality, Riley said these incidents have dropped dramatically over the past 50 years.
However, because of the sloppy “blanket media coverage” of these racially-charged incidents — and the over-the-top amplification they get on social media — Americans are being brainwashed into believing they’re more prevalent than they really are.
Riley is shocked by the riots around the country because there is “universal disdain” for what dirty cop Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd. No one condones what he did.
Actually, what frustrates people is that a dirty cop like Derek Chauvin was still a cop.
He had 18 prior complaints of misconduct before he killed George Floyd.
He was involved in a previous fatal shooting. He was also involved in a chase where two people were killed. He also busted into a suspect's house and shot him.
The Minneapolis officer fired after George Floyd's death was involved in police shootings during his 19-year career.

Despite this, they gave him a MEDAL OF VALOR.
Jason van Dyke, who shot LaQuan McDonald, had 20 previous incidents of civilian complaint,s including a case where he dislocated a suspect's shoulder. Timothy Loehmann, who shot 12 year old Tamir Rice, had been fired from another police department for mental and emotional instability before Cleveland hired him. Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, had been fired from another police department for corruption.
So, yeah, these cases are rare, but when they happen, they are pretty ******* egregious and often involve people who never should have been cops to start with.
