The idea that there should be protests over the George Floyd situation is absurd. Pretty much every politician in America, including Trump, has condemned the police officers whose actions led to Floyd's death.
In what is an amazingly speedy process for the normally glacially slow legal system not only have the officers been fired--do you know how long it takes to fire a cop under normal circumstances?-- but the one who kneeled on Floyd's neck has been charged with murder.
If Floyd had been white there wouldn't have been such an outcry or such quick action. Now it's not bad that things moved quickly but it shows that there is absolutely no basis for protesting.
Floyd died due to police actions but there's no sign of racial profiling. Floyd was big, 6' 6", and allegedly resisted arrest. There is no indication that if he'd simply gotten into the police car that he'd have been assaulted. That doesn't excuse the police action but it shows that this wasn't some racially motivated incident.
So if Blacks are getting the same, or better, justice than whites why should anyone protest?
Because cops target Blacks? The evidence shows that's not the case but even if it were generally true it's clearly not true in this case.
Most Blacks aren't protesting and very few are rioting. But the #FakeNews media eggs Blacks on and tells them that it's ok for them to burn businesses down. Some Blacks listen, as would some whites in the same circumstances.
More importantly it looks like white Antifa terrorists, the Brown Shirts of the Democrat party, are behind a lot of the violence. Democrat politicians and the #FakeNews media have shown great support for Antifa's use of violence against people Democrat politicians identify as their enemies.
It's time to stop treating Antifa and violent rioters as though they were peaceful protesters.

Calling monsters "protesters" is a blatant attempt to discredit those actually protesting.
