First time seeing your posts, but I think it's safe to assume you're a fascist.

He wasn't black... ergo no desire by the media to run with this story.

You should read more of my posts then. I'm simply shitting on libertarians because it's a juvenile ideology that has no place in governance.



It's not that. It's that you don't care that this person was killed. You're only using this person's death to stick your head in the sand so you can say that there is no systematic racism in law enforcement. It's quite similar to the "I'm not racist because I have a black friend" argument.

You're just upset because my group has power and yours is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with principles, only power. Libertarians, in their impotency, contort themselves into supporting those who hold immense corporate power even though they'll never get a taste of it. The only taste of power that you really have is shitting on minorities. I can't blame you though, it's really all that you have. If I were in your shoes, I might do the same thing.

Type 2: Double down on your support of injustice and death. Identify yourself with the state establishment.

These last few days have laid bare that we are a nation furious at injustice. Every person of conscience can understand the rawness of the trauma people of color experience in this country, from the daily indignities to the extreme violence, like the horrific killing of George Floyd.

Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.

The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance.

I know that there are people all across this country who are suffering tonight. Suffering the loss of a loved one to intolerable circumstances, like the Floyd family, or to the virus that is still gripping our nation. Suffering economic hardships, whether due to COVID-19 or entrenched inequalities in our system. And I know that a grief that dark and deep may at times feel too heavy to bear.

I know.

And I also know that the only way to bear it is to turn all that anguish to purpose. So tonight, I ask all of America to join me — not in denying our pain or covering it over — but using it to compel our nation across this turbulent threshold into the next phase of progress, inclusion, and opportunity for our great democracy.

We are a nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us. We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us. We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us.

As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen. I will keep the commitment I made to George’s brother, Philonise, that George will not just be a hashtag. We must and will get to a place where everyone, regardless of race, believes that “to protect and serve” means to protect and serve them. Only by standing together will we rise stronger than before. More equal, more just, more hopeful — and that much closer to our more perfect union.

Please stay safe. Please take care of each other.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Campaign staff for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden are advertising their donations to a group that pays bail fees in Minneapolis after the city’s police jailed people protesting the killing of a black man by a white police officer.

Using this as campaign material in that manner is beyond shoddy.

Anyways come tomorrow he will have forgotten what he said here so who cares.
