You ever wonder why Ferguson, where an unarmed fat man in flip flops was shot multiple times while being chased, then collapsed, multiple bullets in him, while laying in a pool of blood, was executed nearly point blank... didn't spark the large reaction from the public or corporations that the Floyd junky did?

I suspect it was all timing and the need for a movement to turn against political enemies. I swear I recall all those Democrats, even Obama, dismissively saying all lives matter, around the Ferguson days. Caring about the Ferguson slaughter was considered wrong-think, that would get you reddit/twitter-censored, but not-caring about Floyd was treated the same, in a stunning direct opposite.

They say "never waste a good crisis". You hit the nail on the head there.
