At least CNN doesn't try to deliberately mislead its viewers like Fox.  The reds do propaganda, not news.  It results in people making all sorts of ridiculous assumptions.

What does that have to do with the recent death of George Floyd? You know, the most recent black death by cop that triggered the most recent spiral of violence across the nation. Are you sure that racism played a significant role in his death? His young daughter seemed to be sure of it and some of the local news channels seemed to be sure of it and most of your news outlets seem sure of it too. You must be if you're jumping on the racist/racism bandwagon. Is it smart to do that without knowing all the facts? Is it smart of a pretty blue peacock mayor to open his mouth and spew incendiary rhetoric without knowing all the facts? I think its pretty clear that liberals are a bunch of fucking idiots at this point. I mean, I've been around you guys and listening to your leadership and judging them for fifteen years. I think I'm spot on but you can disagree and suffer for it.

In my opinion, you are fortunate that the entire American right is as tolerant and law abiding as it is right now or you would see a blood bath and the bodies of  liberal  scumbags laying all over the place and liberal colleges/institutions burning or blown apart all over the country. You see, whatever liberals do and allow to take place and justify. We can do too. I hope you have a bunch of excess wealth because the liberals are going to need it and your going to need it for the security that you are about to loose.  Like I've said, I'm willing to make an exception and slide American principles and values off to the side and return to the wild west if needed and wipe out today's left.

After watching something pretty mindless on TV, I made to return the channel to MSNBC.  They were running a press conference with the lawyers for the family of the man killed, so I watched what was left of that.  If the GBI tried to give a both sides factual version of events, the lawyers of the family definitely had an opinion.  He was shot in the back while running away.  The murderer cop in no way met the standard in Georgia for justified use of lethal force.  While the lawyers dropped any pretense of neutrality, they pretty much agreed with what the GIA presented as the facts.

So, I can predict we have another case of police using force against a black man improperly.  I should add that the incident took place at a Wendy’s drive through.  In addition to Wendy’s security camera, it seems most people at the drive in had cell phones and got recordings of the incident.

How does hat mesh with George Floyd’s murder?  It was a white cop using excessive force against a black man.  This is what the protests of the last several weeks are about, and another incident to be shuffled into the new rules of engagement for the cops.

While you do not push racism in your assorted rants, you end up promoting violence and siding with the racists regularly.  As such you are part of the problem.

As I have said before, I am not impressed by your obsession with violence or frequent threats.  It’s just empty words.

I am also not impressed by your chasing after the facts.  You just are working off the top of your head spouting your biased beliefs.

What I see likely coming in the next few days is a new set of rules which will attempt to outlaw use of excessive police militancy.  This case is apt to be an important one in determining what will be permitted or tolerated.  As the cop exceeded even the current use of force guidelines, he is likely to be fired and charged.  It has been going on for centuries.  It should stop now.  

This is the heart of the crisis, and one of the hot issues of the crisis.  It is at the center of a cultural change.
