Geee Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Townhall [Warning: This post contains some strong language] The country is dealing with a period of unrest. It’s bad. Riots have engulfed most of the country’s major metropolitan areas for the past week. It’s all over the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police. It was an atrocity. Floyd was unarmed. He was arrested for a nonviolent crime. Floyd was subdued, handcuffed, and was killed when Officer Derek Chauvin, who has since been fired, kept his knee on the back of his neck as he was lying face down on the ground. Chauvin kept it there for nearly ten minutes. Floyd is heard calling out that he couldn’t breathe. Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder. The three other officers involved in the incident were also fired and charged with aiding and abetting murder. There should be protests. This is an outrage. The use of force was outrageous, and I hope justice is served. In fact, that was the opinion for the vast majority of the country. Everyone was outraged over Floyd’s death. But that unity collapsed when rioters set a police headquarters on fire in the third precinct of Mill City and started to loot, vandalize, and set fires everywhere. It’s now a security issue. It’s time to re-establish law and order. The window for a dialogue over community policing, police brutality, reforms, etc. goes out the window when innocent people’s businesses, which were already hanging by a thread due to the COVID lockdowns, and homes are burned to the ground. Also, only the most unhinged progressives think that running over cops, shooting at them, and assaulting them does…anything good. Right now, the lefty media complex has imploded. Cortney covered part of it this morning regarding The New York Times staff blowing up over Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) op-ed about returning law and order to the streets. Somehow this is problematic. You may not agree with him on 90 percent of the issues, but Michael Tracey, a former reporter for the left-wing Young Turks, is unafraid to call out his side when they’re acting insane. He went off against the coddled babies at the Timesand commented on the apparent left-wing meltdown over The Intercept’s Lee Fang. Fang has been on the ground covering the unrest and it appears to these lefties that he’s peddling black-on-black crime narratives with his tweets. Just search for it.
