You're saying he was killed because the cops knew he was on drugs?

That's not the way I read it. I took it as meaning that even if he was doing drugs that doesn't make him so unworthy as to deserve death. YMMV

I agree with that. Of course not. He didn't deserve to die for any of his past or present issues. My point is that he is be portrayed as an angel and that is being disingenuous.

And my point was that I didn't think that you had interpreted cossie1600's comment correctly. Not whether or not your comments about Mr. Floyd were right.

Nope, I just didn't know drug use equal public execution. If that is the case, can we at least apply the force equally to the other drug users of other color. Heck, let's make sure we take out all drug users, I am sick of weed heads talking about how wonderful weed is.

We keep letting these police brutality escalate, the more of these videos/protests/riots we are going to see. This is not just about color either (although the people of color are more impacted by it for sure), but the escalation has got to stop. On the other hand, tougher punishments for the offenders would help too. Why are we being nice to people who keeps more of the same?

This will burn out after another week or two, but it won't take long before it happens again. Matter of fact, it is bound to happen. The wealth gap is going to get even bigger after this virus. The country's leadership is poor. The media is driving people to the extreme either way. We are so screwed.

Reading through all of this, can't quote it all.

Life

Every life is precious, I'm a God loving man, I don't think He would put a life on this earth without reason. I'm only 29, but I've realized everything happens for a reason, good or bad, whether we know that reason is on us. We either have to come to a understanding and if we don't then it's a friendly reminder that we are only human. As humans we are flawed, we never will be perfect yet we constantly strive for perfection. Noah's ark, Adam and Eve, The Tower of Bable, Worshipping the golden calf heck the list goes on how humans can turn on a dime when it comes to good/bad, right/wrong etc. He did not deserve to die like that, nor does he deserve to be glorified and have a day named after him etc. You want a day named after you? Earn it. His death is sad and I hope he's in a better place and I hope God gives his family the strength needed to get through this life.

Perspective

Look at what's happening in parts of Africa how the "white man" is getting there farmland stripped of them due to their skin color. Where's the white lives matter march? In China, Chinese Muslims (Urumqi region) are beign slaughtered and "re educated" by the thousands. Where's the Muslim Chinese lives matter march? Funny thing (due to hypocrisy) is that some Muslims are always foaming at the mouth about Palestine this and Palestine that... Apparently only ARAB MUSLIM lives matter. . . But when it comes to Chinese Muslims, no one gives a rats ***, no one Muslim nation is standing up to China about. Why? Because China is the cash man, and who doesn't love cash?

Look at Pakistan. Always talking about how India treats its 200 million Muslim MINORITY like crap. Yeah, sure. That's why India had a Muslim President. Never seen a non Muslim president/high ranking official in Pakistan that wasn't a Muslim. . . Where is Pakistan's Prime Minister ridiculing China's approach to their Muslim minority? He won't talk down to them because China is funding Pakistani projects and giving them massive loans, which by the way, will crush them.

The basis here is, all lives matter, we should not pick and choose, we should stand against injustice no matter who it is against. When we pick and choose, it makes the movement, in my eyes, weak because it's focusing on a certain group.

Photo in thread with Chinese flag and asking for their help

It baffles me how idiotic some people are, it really does. My aunt is Vietnamese and tells me the horrors of communism. How it took her fathers hotel businesses, stripped them of everything, and forced them to flee. They had to go on a boat and travel to Thailand. Her sister was on another boat during a storm while fleeing, it sunk. . . took may lives with it. Communism does not work. I do not hate Chinese people, well not all, I get along with some but not all, but that goes for anyone. The Chinese government I don't trust and want gone, they're scum bags the whole lot of them.

People who stand for the Chinese government make me laugh. Go to China, speak against them, you and your family will dissapear faster than the memory of Liberals regarding Justin Trudeau and his black face and SNC Lavalin scandal.

Communism = bad. Show me a communist country, that follows the ideology to the "T" and is successful like the U.S, Canada, U.K and Australia. No ideology is perfect, but Democracy beats Communism any day.

Also... The WHO is trash, the U.N is trash as well. Here's a good clip, enjoy.
