Trump Homeland Security official says he believes George Floyd would not have been spared if he were white

(CNN)Acting Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli said Sunday that he does not believe that George Floyd's life would have been spared if he were white.

Floyd, a black man, was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis last month. His death has sparked nationwide protests against racism and police violence.

Asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer if he thought Floyd would still be alive if he were white, Cuccinelli said, "No, I don't think he would."

"What I heard in that eight-and-a-half minute clip was someone who was a bully, who is abusing his position of authority and power in the law," Cuccinelli said in reference to a video of Floyd's death.

Comment: Scary thought is that he is correct. If the cops are all bullies and blacks are the easier target, then we are already in a totalitarian system controlled by bullies. Good article

6. Yes he would if he did not know him. But non-white people are usually a safer target.

I drive a 2003 Cavalier with the paint peeling off. I get pulled over in Little Rock more times than I should with a warning for driving 47 in a 45 zone.

I am sure that if I was driving a brand new Lexus, this would not happen at all.

It is and has always been a class thing with cops. I think even before the sheriff of Nottingham. And if Jesus had been wearing purple robes would anything have happened to him.
