Floyd cops arrested only AFTER nationwide protests. See how that works? And AFAIK Taylor's murderers are still free.

Floyd died on a Friday(most likely due to the cocktail of drugs in his system, a diseased heart, plus the excitement caused by his resisting arrest per the autopsy). The cops were arrested and charged on what, the following Monday? By contrast, its now been what, over a month since a couple of antifa clowns larping as cops gunned down two black teens in an SUV in Seattle, and they STILL havent been arrested or charged. Where's the outrage on that?

As for Taylor, most people would agree that if cops are shot at, they are allowed to shoot back. If you have an issue with no knock warrants thats a valid issue, but they are widely used and whites have been killed during them with no arrests as well, even since the Taylor death, and despite not having opened fire(as Taylors BF did).

There's a huge difference between someone dying while resisting arrest, and a child being murdered riding a bike. A black guy grabbed and threw a random white kid off a 5th floor mall balcony in Minnesota and was sentenced to a mere 19 years, despite being one of the most shockingly brutal interracial crimes I've ever heard of, and believe me, there are a shit ton of black on white ones to choose from if you want to go down this route. Most of them you've never heard of because the media censors coverage of them once the suspects race is known.

You also completely ignored the fact most of the riots, looting and black on white mob violence we saw post Floyd occurred well AFTER the cops were arrested.

Oh I didn't realize that if I rob a bank on a Friday I get the weekend to hang out. Good to know.

As for other outrage, same place as most other crimes I suspect. Or do you mean people should be required to be outraged over everything?

It sounds like we should've been protesting about no-knock warrants a while ago then.

dying while resisting arrest

We've both seen the video; you're allowed to say "murdered".

mere 19 years

Is 19 years not a long time? Would it have been longer if he had been white? Do you believe that studies that correlate being black with longer sentences are lying?

AFTER the cops were arrested

Of course, this very quickly grew to be larger than just Floyd. I expect the protests will continue until some sort of major police reform is passed (and from your bit on no-knocks, it would seem you agree that we need).

    He’s brainwashed like my wife. Only time will show these people the error of their thoughts.

    Sorry that your wife has to put up with your ignorance. 🙏

    I am white, and I was responding to the entirety of your post. Sorry for not clinging to one bit of your post and ignoring the rest. Apparently you expected that part to blind me with such outrage that I ignore everything else.
