Do you believe the cop intentionally killed him? Like, let's go out and kill some random black dude?

Or was Floyd caught dabbling in counterfeit money and died while being restrained by the cop.

Strawmanning is their only hope because all of their arguments go full derp

Do you think they would have restrained a white guy like that? They probably would have kept him in the back seat, undone his cuffs and given him free reign of the spotify playlist on the way to the station.

Uh, yeah they would have...

Yes if he was resisting arrest. I’m white and many years ago when I was arrested I got slammed to the ground and got snow kicked in my face.

Half the issue here is you have a bunch of whiteys thinking constant oppression is happening with police black interactions based on a few videos. So out of touch lol.

Agree, your police need a better training, that what should be changed in your laws.
Please also note down that stupid and violent people can easily be racists too.

Totally agree. Just look at all the "protesters" beating the shit out of random people in the street due to the color of their skin.

i was talking for everyone, yes, but i think we dont need your stretched dumbfuckery.

You've got it all backwards. Even the overwhelming majority of right-wingers agree that Floyd's death was horrific and unjustifiable. They agreed that there is something fundamentally broken about the mindset of too many police departments, and about the oversight which lets too many cases of police brutality go unpunished.

But then, BLM and liberals had to make this about more than that, they had to make this about "systemic racism", about the idea that America is racist to its core. And that's simply a very contentious, polarizing assertion which is far less agreeable for people on the right.

We had a case of police brutality with racist subtext. The police brutality-aspect of it was widely agreeable, the racialized aspect of it not so much. By making the latter the focus of the protests, BLM and liberals have wasted a chance to form a bipartisan coalition which could have lead to real change. (Change from which blacks would have benefitted the most btw!) It was the liberal side which dragged these protests back into the usual, partisan trenches.





A lot of people are beating around the bush, so I'll go ahead and say it out loud: a non-negligible share of whites in America does not want society to be openly racist, to have cops murder blacks in broad daylight or stuff like that - but who, at the same time, totally do NOT want to see the country's racial hierarchy, where whites are on top and blacks at the bottom, upended.
