Just came from Walmart

For the most part everyone had on a mask, the exceptions always had the same look (white male with a goatee or beard, with a stupid looking hat on wearing sunglasses or the sunglasses was on the hat), all had an arrogant look to them.

Violent protesters

I actually think that a lot of these violent “protesters” destroying stuff are actually young conservative whites pretending to be liberal to either make liberal whites look bad or the black protesters look bad.

These are the same tactics that Russia and conservatives use on twitter.

So the Minnesota DA is acting just like the DAs in GA acted

And there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. We need to weigh through all of that evidence to come through with a meaningful determination, and we are doing the best of our ability, ” he said.


Even if this was true, if a regular citizen had done what the cop did, they would have been arrested until that evidence came out to clear them

The cop that killed George Floyd

He was a 19 year veteran for the police, normally with that many years he might be eligible for a pension. Does him being fired mean that he can’t collect on the pension?

I cant wait for the return of Trump rallies

Thousands of maskless deplorables in a close space shouting. What can possibly go wrong?

George Floyd

I don’t get it....George Floyd could be a felon that is a dead beat dad, who was just released from prison last week and tried to commit armed robbery and then resisted arrest.....none of that would justify what happened to him.....and you think that the crowd that always yells that we have a deep state and a tyrannical government would be up in arms

Police officers in black neighborhoods

I bet that in suburban predominantly white town/neighborhoods the police officer who patrol the area are part of the town and community..they know the people and are their neighbors....they see the people as equals

In predominantly black towns/Neighborhoods regardless if they are rural or urban most cops don’t live there...they drive in from the suburbs, they are outsiders and see themselves that way too...they are probably a cop in that town only until something else opens up in their preferred neighborhood/town...they see the people in the towns they patrol as inferior

I guess my point in that rant was to say that I would like to see more police officers actually live in the towns/neighborhoods they patrol

Conservative logic

Unarmed black men/boys get killed by police or even worse “non police”

Conservatives - they should have cooperated, you have to respect authority

Governors just recommend that people wear face masks to protect themselves and others

Conservatives - I am not surrendering my freedom to authority
