Here is my view on people speaking on a subject that they don't understand -- if you speak on it from a place where you admit you don't really understand it -- that is one thing.....I don't think it was racially motivated...….as in, I don't think this cop set out to kill Floyd because he was black...I'm not certain of anything.... it's all a bunch of best guessing, with the info we have in hand.are you saying that .....George Floyd died because he was a drug addled piece of shit who got up that day...did meth and then went out with his buddy to rip off a business with counterfeit money! George Floyd died because when the Police were called he resisted arrest and refused to get into the squad car! George Floyd died because George Floyd was a worthless piece of garbage whose actions put him on the ground with Police holding him down!Listen, people should be outraged over what happened to George Floyd, but let’s get one thing straight: Floyd didn’t die merely because he was black and the cop who killed him is white. Floyd died because America is being overrun with warrior cops—vigilantes with a badge—who are part of a government-run standing army that is waging war on the American people in the so-called name of law and order.
There it is, but will our elected leaders understand? Trump and his minions clearly aren’t getting it. Sniffy Joe isn’t either.
This terrible event could be yet another example of the power elite using tragedy to divide the people.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about "Saint George"! Peddle that baloney some where else! Anyone that would hold a gun to a pregnant woman's belly for money to buy drugs is such a worthless excuse for a human being someone should have killed him before he left Texas!
If he were white, the cop still would have murdered him?
Do we really know for sure? Did you know the cop’s intent?
We have absolutely no info on the cops intent, none. So to say it was racially motivated, we don’t know. I have posted several studies that race has little to do with how police handle a person. So, unless the intent is known, we can’t say either way unless the former cop tells us so.
but what is racially motivated is the level of utter cowardice people are willing to steep down to in order to defend the cop who did it......what is racially motivated is the how these folks are willing to attack the man who was killed with more passion than the person who killed him.....
That I can agree with, Floyd went to jail and served his sentence, he paid his dues. He should never had died that way and their is absolutely no excuse for what the cop did. The cop had 18 complaints and his superiors never disciplined him and his union protected him. We need to know why and fix a bad system. I am ashamed of the racism that has been displayed by many white people.
I don’t understand many views held by minorities, mainly because I haven’t lived it, yet if I ask or comment, in ignorance I get ripped up onside and down the other. I don’t believe any race is superior to any other race, so I am not racist, it’s that I don’t have an understanding. Tough to understand when the dialogue is one way, which is what I see today and inhibiting the understanding and healing.
BTW, I haven’t seen many posts from you lately, and though we can be harsh to each other, hope all is well.
However, if you speak on a subject you have little understanding, full of errors and falsehoods --and do it in a way as if you are the authority on the subject, that is when you can run into problems..
I don't know anything about nuclear engineering -- so if I speak on that subject, I will be doing more asking and listening than anything else...
