A quick thread about the shit-show in Minneapolis rn.

While most sane Americans can agree that George Floyd's death is a travesty of justice, the response of Minneapolis' citizenry is outright criminal....
...I suppose, if the shoe were on the other foot (black cop, white dude), Targets and McDonalds, nay, whole blocks of cityscape would not lay in rubble and ash this morning.

How many additional lives lost? How many jobs lost? Businesses? Homes? Livelihoods?....
I watched video of people ransacking businesses and attacking a woman in a wheelchair, setting things ablaze...

Theft, assault, arson galore....

These reprehensible mobs are, also, criminal.

Criminal.

....but are they justified?
Is the action of one citizen against another justification to burn a city to the ground?...

...before a jury has even been convined, let alone render a verdict?

I think not... and neither should you....

Here's why:
While I hope the entire weight of the justice system be brought to bear on those police if they are convicted, it is important for We, the People not succumb to the intellectually weak, lazy and, frankly, overused argument of....

..."Racism"....
So who is to blame?

Who or what is responsible for the shithole Minneapolis has become?....

Pro-tip: it ain't Trump....
So, I decided it would be educational to do a little intellectual exercise....
...to use a wee bit 'o critical thinking while contemplating this entire catastrophe....
Please follow along and take notes if needed....

Let's bring:

#1. Who hired those 4 police officers?

...The men and women (generally assumed to be of good character) on the streets. Doing their beat, presumably fighting crime?

Answer: the Chief of Police....
#2. Who hired the Chief of Police?

...C.O.P. is the person responsible for staffing of departments and setting forth conduct guidelines, etc.

Answer: the Mayor....
#3. Who hired the Mayor?

...The chief public servant, tasked with, among other things, public well-being and safety....

Answer: the people of Minneapolis.

...are you smelling what I'm cooking?...
Now then, and pay particular attention to this part....

#4. Who are the looters/pillagers/arsonists?

Answer: the same fine, upstanding people who: Hired the Mayor, who hired the Chief, who hired the police officers, who killed George Floyd....
That's right.

....the fine folks of Minneapolis are responsible for the death of George Floyd....

...as they burn the city to the ground....

The vicious cycle, the Democrat playbook, layed bare for all to see....

I hope you learned something....
...and to my wonderful black American countryman, if you read this; I hope you would open your eyes to how this game has been run. You have been played by Democrats for, at least, the last 80 years.

The game doesn't end until YOU decide to stop it...
