Prospector Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I want to start this thread by saying that I am in 100% agreement that the officers involved in George Floyd’s death should be prosecuted and dealt with accordingly. The video is heinous, and justice should be sought out. I believe almost all Americans believe that to be true. ok, so now to the meat of this thread... what are the protests supposed to bring to light? We all can see, and agree that the officers looked to be in the wrong and should have been fired and held accountable. And they have been. They are going on trial for murder... good! But, is this an issue that is a national epidemic, or is it an isolated incident to promote a political ideology? Are black people being targeted and killed at a higher rate than other races? Or are these rare and infrequent accounts being prostituted out to a far left media to dog whistle communist activists and to play on the emotions of people they want to keep down and dependent? Now for statistics... black people commit over 50% of the violent crimes in the USA. But almost twice as many white people are killed by the police every year. So, what is the social injustice? Because a random ######ed cop was caught killing a black man on camera, yet twice as many whites are killed by police every year(armed and unarmed... the numbers stay consistent). It would seem that the extremely rare killing of an innocent black man is being sensationalized by a media with a political purpose. And no one wants to be labeled racist or insensitive in today’s climate, so we all go along with it and ignore facts. Was Floyd’s death terrible and horrific? Yes, absolutely! We all agree! But is that a commonality with law enforcement country wide? Absolutely not! These riots are insane and meant for only a political purpose. But, I expect nothing less from the politics, ideas and groups that supported slavery, segregation, KKK, and Jim Crowe... Dems always trying to keep minorities in their place and keeping the divide. No wonder they all support the riots and want them to keep going, it’s their pay day. It’s quite disgusting Edited June 5, 2020 by WorstTEever81 Grammar 5

Unforgiven Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 This thread will mostly be ignored because truth creates fear and anger these days.

Prospector Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) My parents were Norwegian’s who barely had a cent to their name. During the Great Depression, my grand father worked an entire day for a couple potatoes. He became a steel worker and carpenter. Built his own house and added on as his family got bigger. My dad and uncles were all told that if they wanted a better life, work hard in school and get a scholarship because he couldn’t pay for college. So they did. My dad did the same with me. I payed my way through college and learned how to depend on myself. I don’t know why this is an odd idea to relay to other cultures... but you usually are labeled insensitive. I don’t come from old money and had to scrap for my way of life. Why is it bad to recommend to others to dig in and build a better you? Edited June 5, 2020 by WorstTEever81 6 2 1
Prospector Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 I’m a bit disappointed that a troll hasn’t even popped in with unrelated cartoon of Trump being a Nazi... That happened with a thread I made awhile back, because we all know the Nazis promoted personal freedom, right to bare arms, limited government, and denounced socialism... oh, wait, that’s the opposite of what Hitler did and what the left is opposed of. Weird 2 1

Weird A coworker told me that Trump is doing exactly what Hitler and Nazi's did to get into power... So I told him the steps Hitler took... #1 Nazi's took the guns away from their citizens #2 Nazi's blamed the rich for all their problems.. #3 Nazi's used the media to incite class/race protests.. #4 Nazi's asked people to snitch on their neighbors and point out bad behavior... Then he interrupted me and asked where I got my "fake" facts. ? 4 1 2 1

Beast Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I am 100 percent behind defunding the police. I think the time has come for anarchy. I am also 100 percent for defunding Welfare and social programs. Lets start saving money and taking responsibility for ourselves. You want security, arm yourself or pay a private company. You want handouts, go beg on the street corner. Enough is enough. Edited June 6, 2020 by Beast
