This says it all.

Floyd WAS a criminal. Look at his charges and convictions. He was also under arrest. Facts prove that blacks are treated better today by the police than they were five, ten, fifteen or more years ago. Give the police some credit. Not very many of them are corrupt and they are being weeded out. This was a wrongful death, and unfortunate but COPs are not perfect. That is not an excuse, just a statement. Do not presume that all COPs are bad and do not act amazed when you hear of an incident that was handled wrong. COPs handle the worst of society every day and are bound to make mistakes like other folks. I am not excusing anyone, but I am also not going to make Floyd into some sort of angel. Even his brother said at his funeral that he watched his brother and tried not to make the same mistakes. Floyd did not deserve to die, but I will not mourn him, either. If you live the life of crime, expect unfortunate results.

Is it just me, or do others also see the flaming hypocrisy of embracing in whole what is said by someone of a different ethnicity, that just happens to agree with them, but dismiss and denigrate with vitriol...the exact opposite?


Re: "You're just an athlete/actor/performer/TV celebrity(oops, better not use that one )/Etc....therefore your opinion doesn't count."

Particularly noteworthy, when it's coming from a mouthpiece/sock-puppet whose lone 'claim to fame'...is to foment lies/anger/hatred.

Which is then perfectly summed up, and breathlessly and wholeheartedly embraced, by the statement of..."just shut up and dribble."

And who would even try to deny, the coded racism...in such a statement?

Accuracy and truth telling - not.

OK. We get you hate Candice Owens and FOX News. But how about addressing even one statement in the 18 minute video that was not true?

WOW...just wow.

Your last two sentences, negate and prove your previous comments about how you don't think he "deserved" to die...as being totally false.

This young lady is somewhat delusional. So sad. When she is out and about
she is George Floyd.....she is equally as susceptible to what happen to him and to Ms. Taylor in Louisville. It hurts to see someone so lost...

I am glad she posted what she calls 'her rant', it took courage and I admire that... Also, I learned a lot from her investigative journalism and her opinion and perspective of the facts.
Neither George Floyd nor Policeman David Dorn should have been WRONGLY murdered. I hope/PRAY both families get justice though our system.
I personally cannot see how doing ugliness toward another, rioting, breaking, entering, stealing, ruining Cities is a means to anything other than me reacting saying, Well, That is clearly WRONG to do.
Two WRONGS.....

You can add tiger woods to list for his comments. He’s getting crucified for his thoughtful statement not insisting violence.

[dustyaljac]

I guess I miss the part where those drugs have no effect on the body until you reach A HIGH. Or possibly compounded with Alcohol or how everyone reacts differently by these mind altering drugs. Or could these drugs have been a factor contributing to his death....certainly all these issues will come out.
Absolutely not that someone should lose their life as a result of a police stop. Absolutely no excuse to loot and the violence directed at ALL Police Officers by the weak minded mobs.

On this list you will not find anything about School Choice, enterprise zones, denouncing the "snitches get stitches" culture that protects criminals or anything whatsoever about bringing down the dangers of violent crime that NO Child in the USA should be subject to.

Quality education in a safe environment should not be denied any child in the inner city. That is what the protests should be about. Not demonizing police.

Eloquently spoken (and researched). Thank you

Thank you for that "revealing" (did I mention comprehensive?) conversation

She very clearly stated two things: (1) Derek Chauvin needlessly killed George Floyd and should be convicted of same. (2) She was tired of, and refuses to participate in making a hero of the "bottom feeders" of her race. Her entire argument was with the people making George Floyd a martyr and hero when he was anything but!

Just for the record, I TOTALLY disagree with your characterization of Candice Owens … perhaps you should research her further and reevaluate … just sayin'

One delusional young lady.

[mykvalentin]

I think Candice should’ve waited until the dust settles before giving her two-cents. More folks are still upset, and understandably so. Right now, none of the upset people will hear what she is saying. When people are upset and emotional, they don’t want to hear anything that’s contrast to what they want believe is the cause..
