You know it’s racist and you do it anyway. Hate is having a good week. It's as racist as Ebola, German Measles, Hong Kong Virus, Lyme Disease, Rocky Mt. Fever, etc etc etc etc etc. CNN even used the Wuhan Virus terminology when the virus was first discovered, having originated in Wuhan, China, go figure. You really are a puppet. If by hate you mean ANTIFA, then yes, its been a good week. Small business owners, especially minority small business owners in D run cities, have been ravaged by these Thugs (yeah, thug, racist term for the likes of you) and have been completely let down by their local gov'ts. Now add puppet to the list of ironic buzz words. Still haven’t answered the question, that’s ok though the answer is now obvious.

Bob, don't fall for this. They are junior varsity trolls. Let them figure it out on their own. If they have to ask for examples or what media is, it confirms they are the complete fools that they appear to be. JR's puppet meme was spot on. That is what they are. Be your own man, bob. The question is serious. WIH only comes here to throw hate and vitriol at other users. Don’t be like WIH.

This whole social injustice narrative is a bunch of bs. Floyd's murder is a tragedy, but more than likely that cop would have just as easily killed a white guy that pissed him off. There is a problem in this country, police brutality without consequences, and the fact that law enforcement officers are essentially above the law. The notion that it is just a minority problem is a farce. I find it kind of funny that this wouldn't have even been a huge story if it had been a white guy. Just a bad apple cop, move on...

Police unions are really strong, as Mach pointed out. Obvious I know, but I would be focused on limiting their power.

According to MB no one is using Wuhan Virus in a racist way and according to riverskier social injustice is all BS. And the tooth fairy is real, SR just added 2,000 feet of vertical drop, Brady was just kidding about signing with the Bucs, Elvis is alive, and Trump will be named the head of the ACLU when he leaves office.

Please do not misquote me pal, I did not say that no one is using the term in a racist way. I said the term (itself) is not racist. Big difference

Big difference I didn’t quote you but now I will...you said and I quote: “no one is calling out the Chinese in a racist way” How is that any different than saying no one is using Wuhan Virus in a racist way?

The vast majority (90%? more?) of the protesters are peaceful. Clearly there are people who are not and are taking advantage of the situation to commit violence and that is wrong and needs to be dealt with. We may disagree on how to deal with them, but I think we can probably agree on that. It’s not different than saying all cops are bad, that is obviously not true either and the vast majority take their jobs and responsibilities seriously and perform them admirably. I know many people in various law enforcement roles and I have tremendous respect for all of them. I also know many people of color who have described to me in graphic detail the systemic and individual racism that they have to endure. So clearly there are systemic issues and there are bad cops and there are bad actors using the protests as cover for their own evil agendas...they ALL need to be dealt with. Whether you are protesting or not, we should all be taking this time to reflect on how we can be better, how we can do better. This will be my last post here today. Bash away.

That’s fine, enjoy the day.
But, IMO we have no way to confirm the percentage of peaceful vs non peaceful protesters and even 10% is too much. I support the cause but it is creating as many problems as it is solving for problems. We simply cannot allow people to riot, kill, loot, destroy businesses under the cover of lawful protests.
I need to ask, what are the protesters looking for? What will end the nightly protests? This country has a mega issue w racism, do the protesters expect this to stop over night?
And again, why haven’t those other 3 police officers been at least charged in the killing of Mr. Floyd. IMO, that would be a first step and calming things down and would be seen as a response to this awful situation.
Oh and is Covid still an issue? Hard to tell.

This, and the only way to ensure reforms stick NATIONWIDE, is for something to be done with the above at the federal level. Oh wait, that former POTUS, the Democrat one who actually had the full rights to stand high on this platform and create/force change (Police after all operate under the EXECUTIVE Branch) just came out and said he thinks these issues should be dealt with on a state and/or local level. Typical of Obama, speak nicely and pass the buck on action. He never was one to make the hard decisions, thank God for all of us he never was in a situation that actually demanded a hard/decisive/swift decision.
