Fentanyl and Meth in his blood stream at the time of his arrest is not "history". It was an immediate factor in his behavior and the officer's response to same.

WHAT A BRILLIANT WOMAN, Candace Owens
 
Prayers for Candace, Kanye (love my 'JESUS IS KING'), and Dr Ben Carson, etc ... I did not know they were called names in their communities for making Their Lives Matter and that makes me sad with empathy for their struggle in life. I pray them love and appreciation of their lives in days ahead.
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 seemed to have missed her point!! It wasn’t just about his death or how he died!! 🙄

Thank you.

I watched that video of this very articulate and intelligent black lady who did her homework. I only wish the mainstream news would report on Floyd's criminal background, especially the home invasion where threatened a pregnant woman with a gun in her stomach. Might take some shine off his glorification for sure. Amazing how these hardened criminals suddenly become upstanding citizens when this sort of thing happens.

She is what our country needs right now.
 
She is what our country needs right now. I hope she continues, it would be wonderful to think that she just might become our next Martin Luther King

She missed the point when she talked about black culture demanding justice for criminals. That may be true in some instances, but the whole point here is that George Floyd was not a criminal and that not only are black people more likely to be falsely suspected, but that black people, innocent or guilty, are inhumanely treated.

I listened to this video and thought her message was powerful. I didn't take away from it that the main point is George Floyd was high or intoxicated. No, he didn't deserve to die like he did.....or die at all, for that matter. I'm thrilled that the cops involved have been arrested and charged with his murder, because that's exactly what they did! The main point of this video is that a person of color is decrying her people glorifying black criminals and making role models and martyrs of them, all the while rioting, looting and destroying our cities and businesses......and expecting to get away from it because they're the victims in all this! Of course, they have struggles. Of course, racism is alive and well, but beating the same dead horse for hundreds of years isn't accomplishing anything or changing the struggles. Candace Owen and Dr. Ben Carson are examples of people of color who didn't buy into the usual narrative and worked to get somewhere and make something of themselves. The sad part is that for their efforts, they're labeled as "coons" or "Uncle Toms" instead of being held up as the role models they are.

Why are you grouping "protestors" and "looters" in the same sentence? Protestors have a First Amendment right to protest peacefully. Looters are breaking the law. Peaceful protestors make up the vast majority of those you see on American streets. Protesting plays a crucial role in change within a free society. Looting and violence are unfortunate by-products of people often with a political agenda who want to create chaos. Don't confuse these people with those exercising their right to assemble and protest freely.

In my opinion, I believe her 2018 statistics, because I have read and heard similar analyses. She makes many powerful points and facts. God Bless and Protect her.

She fits my knowledge and philosophy to an exact "T" up to and including the 250,000 who die from medical errors each year. Sharp young lady.

??? Of course he is a criminal. He has a rap sheet as long as your arm. He has spent a good percentage of his life in jail. The arrest that ended his life was for passing counterfeit money. Yes, he did not deserve to be treated as he was, even if he had not died from that treatment, but he was a criminal.

So refreshing to see a black woman who "gets it", who knows the truth and us not afraid to call out the blatant hypocrisy of so called black leaders.

Buckeye Bob 06-06-2020 08:49 AM

Whether he was high or not makes no difference; she was spot on.
