George Floyd Protest/Riots

There is no proof George Floyd was killed because he is black. Yet there are riots & protests all over the country that a white cop killed a black man!

Her tweet didn't mention Floyd. I'm not sure how you got lost but here was the convo

So I take it you don't think she is right?

Is there any proof the actual crime, not the hypothetical, was racially motivated?

You'll have to explain that one because the correlation makes zero sense. I was talking about the dumb Candace tweet that someone posted

Absolutely insane. So why the fun lockdowns in the first place.


Just to clarify, systemic racism is a greater threat than the virus?

You're defending these guys by saying their actions cant be judged as a hate crimes (rightly so).

Its no different that saying a white person committed a hate crime against a black with no evidence. My point we shouldn't make assumptions, we should be consistent in how treat a crime or criminals.

So police are worse than having active shooters

No actually I defended nothing. I simply asked if her assertion that the crime was racially motivated had merit.

why was her tweet dumb? Did she lie or misrepresent the truth?

 

[utvolpj]

Yes she did if you can't point to any proof that it was racially motivated

 

[volfanhill]

Sure they are!

Yea they want the Chinese cop and black cop who have been charged to get off. Brilliant!

Pepper spray isn’t tear gas or even close to it

Pepper spray isn’t tear gas or even close to it

And pepper spray isn’t what was in those containers either

What do you guys think of this?

A band I really like is donating to them, and this is the first I've heard of it...

Only one of those is even doable and most have already been done for decades so pointless as usual

 

[VolStrom]

She didn't say it was. She question why it wasn't considered racially motivated and the George Floyd case is considered racist. She said 3 black men pleaded guilty of killing her and no outrage became of it.

FOH with that tweet. That’s just unbelievable.

Some people are. Some people are taking advantage of a tragedy to run wild, steal ****, and act the fool. The difference between the two should be acknowledged.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Is there any indication it was about race or is Candace just being ridiculous again?

That's exactly her point..?

 

[Ten_Titans]

Lol are you being serious right now?

 

[utvolpj]

She didn't say it was. She question why it wasn't considered racially motivated and the George Floyd case is considered racist. She said 3 black men pleaded guilty of killing her and no outrage became of it.

Except there's nothing about Floyd in that tweet. The easy answer to her question is because there was zero proof it was racially motivated

 

[volfanhill]

Agreed. And the protestors should be allowed to protest. And the cops should be permitted to arrest those breaking laws.

Side note: One of the things I find funny about this is the very public way government is showing the world how incompetent they are. Not that I am for them, but they set curfews then don’t enforce them, talk about showing how inept you are on a daily basis. If you aren’t going to enforce them then stop putting them out there.

 

[utvolpj]

Lol are you being serious right now?

Yes, she's discussing another news story

Her hypothetical is 3 white kids killing a black girl. You're telling me she actually means 4 cops kill a black man?
