I was eating dinner at a truck stop in Minnesota and overheard two assholes talking about the protests and Floyd being the cause of the all of the looting and the damage to businesses! One of them said Floyd asked for what he got! The waitress told them to stop bashing Floyd, because that could be one of their family members who was choked to death and it was unnecessary to turn into murder! The assholes never said another word and quietly left! I gave her a $6.00 tip and good for her to speak up! She said that she does that about every night she works!

She said, "she could be your mother."
He got a sheepish, knowing look on his face, and like your situation the cop never said another word and walked away.
