Here is my opinion.

That man was murdered. Plain and simple. you can not argue with me about that. That cop knew exactly what he was doing. Its a shame people live life with blinders on and act like they cant see the truth, and even to try to justify it baffles me. I have also
lived life with blinders in the past. As life has been going on i can relate with everyone who is suffering from injustice. Do i think the looting and rioting is alittle much? sure. but who am i to try to tell someone how to deal with situations when i also have my ways of coping
Today someone showed me a quote by Thomas Paine "When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example of the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other and the little all is as
dear as the much. It is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to eachother; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. But the guarantee, to be effectual, must
be parliamentarly reciprocal." read that and let it sink in. People are fed up. It doesn't matter what color you are. Who you are. You have a right to life. I, as a white man, dont have to live life with fear. I have many friends who have told me "every time i get pulled over i
dont know if im going to see my home again. if im going to see my family again. if im going to be another statistic." It is 2020. Its time to spread love and stop the hate. Stop worrying about a store being looted. Worry about the man who was KILLED. That is the issue at hand.
"A riot is the language of the unheard." MLK. Riots are happening because peace doesnt make people see the issue. I as an American was upset when Kaepernick kneeled. But now more than ever i can see why. It was peaceful and silent. But it spoke volumes and everyone tried to
deafen him and the cause. Now another man has died. People are upset. i hope everyone listens now. Do not let the actions of people who are upset distract you from what happened. And please dont just stand by and watch. Take action. Because change needs to happen. For the hope of
this Nation change is a must. "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." MLK.

Please stop arguing All lives matter. We all know that. It was a black
man who was killed. So #BlackLivesMatter is what should be said right now. Yes all lives matter but one race shouldnt be looked down on. Until all races matter the same i understand why everyone is saying Black Lives Matter. I am with you. I hear you. and I love you all. Silence
is over. It is time as a nation to move forward as one. i hope im using my privilege to help spread love for those who have been silenced. #ICantBreathe #JusticeForGeorge #GeorgeFloydWasMurdered #BlackLivesMatter
