They must be protesting Trump. eh?
Cant get Trump off your mind eh? dissapointed?
IMO from the video evidence I saw, the cop is guilty of not taking his knee off the guy till he was dead. I don't know what evidence there is that could possibly turn things around, however, for the crowd to be chanting SHut it Down.... if they don't get what they want, is exactly what has been wrong with the trend in America lately.
Mob rule and mob justice are never right, wether its a conservative or liberal mob.If the system isn't working right, you fix it without burning it down and causing billions in damage. If these people cant do that then they don't deserve to live in an orderly society that is safe for their kids to live in. You reap what you sow no matter what your self justification is.
People argued for years that the protests were all about Trump.
And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Well, there is something to that. Of course African Americans have experiences and have had experiences in life that when they witness something like that, is rightly going to bring about a protest. People of other races would also rightly protest a perceived injustice like that scene.
However the George Floyd killing did not happen in a vaccum, it happened in the midst of a country that was already in an entrenched political battle over the election of Trump, his impeachment and the upcoming election. There are many who perceived that Democrat leadership all over the country were willing to let these riots to continue to create an unstable climate which would in the end be harmful to Trumps re-election. Democrats had already labeled Trump as a threat to world wide democracy, and he had to go at any cost. IMO they would grab for anything available if it would get Trump out of office, even if it meant everyday Americans paying that price for it.
And If it wasnt about Trump at all??? then why did the crowds march on the White House? Yes there is something to that viewpoint.
