I don't see any injustice. I see four apparently criminal police officers being brought up on charges and justice being pursued.

I know our justice system is a long way from perfect. And, I have observed and experienced racism and unjust discrimination against myself and others for all sorts of personal differences. It's real and there is plenty to go around. But the fact that our justice system is seeking to punish these crimes, even against the "privileged" whites and law enforcement officers, shows me an example of equality and equal protection under the law. In America, you can't do what those cops did and get away with it. Not if we find out about it.

I don't see an example of racism or injustice in this case. To the contrary, I see our justice system seeking to apply the law equally to everyone and seeking to punish those who violated the rights of a man, in this case, even a minority man. I haven't seen or heard anyone, anywhere, offering any excuse for what they saw in the George Floyd videos. To the contrary, I have seen, without exception, everyone aghast at the police actions in this case. To me, this shows that the overwhelming majority of Americans abhors the apparent abuse of another man by police - even a drugged up minority with a criminal history. So to me, this shows a relative lack of racism in America - not evidence of it being rampant.

Even this monster who appears to have killed George Floyd will receive his rights under the law. He has the right to his day in court, to have all the evidence presented and considered, to face his accusers, to be judged by a jury of his peers, and to have a fair and speedy trial. Just think, our horribly imperfect justice system is so good, it will even attempt to extend justice to a cold-hearted cop who showed no concern for the life of a citizen in his custody.

America is not perfect, but it's a great place, my friends. Even though our nation has deteriorated and is likely in its end stages, we still live in one of the most free, most just, most affluent societies that has ever existed. To find this kind of justice and tolerance anywhere else in the world is exceedingly rare. God bless America!



Maybe we should ask the question of whether or not it is harder for some people to recognize justice when it is apparent.


What from Christ that soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.

The future will never be the same. These “protests”, meaning riots and murders and assaults that have taken place the past few weeks have gotten an immediate response from our “leaders”. We are rewarding criminal behavior out of fear.

Other than that, race is of no consequence to me.
I've known good and bad people in all sorts of colors.


I agree with you 100%.
I'm color blind when it comes to skin. That's why I don't call black people African Americans. My ancestors were from Greece. I don't refer to myself as a Greek American. I was born in America. My mother was Greek. I'm just an American. I suppose if you were from Africa yourself, you could properly refer to yourself as an African American. Being called African American sets you apart from other Americans. That's segregation, the opposite of integration. I thought black people wanted to be treated as equals. Yet, they choose to segregate themselves in many ways.

I know some Vietnamese people living and working near me. They don't like being referred to as Vietnamese Americans. They consider themselves Americans proudly.

If those whose heart is ripped out over murder are truthful with their statement, then their heart would remain torn. Murder is legal, even considered a right, with about a million legal murders occurring each year. Percentage wise a higher number of black murders performed legally and at the hands of their own mothers.

Black on black crime is not a money generating cause. White on black or better yet, white cop on black, is a guaranteed money maker. Most of the "mourners" don't give a rip about Floyd. He is a means to an end.

Anyone watch the Oprah special that ran last night, Where Do We Go From Here? I watched bits and pieces. What I saw was how this has become a long overdue catalyst to bring justice to black people in the form of equal rights. When in reality what they are really looking for are special privileges.

Before the Obama administration there was no BLM or Antifa or war on police. He built that, making everything MLK accomplished obsolete.

I get worked up about dirty cops. I don't know how dirty these four cops are yet. We have to wait for justice to be served.
Race has nothing to do with it for me in this case. It wouldn't be any different in my opinion if the races were reversed. Dirty cops are dirty cops.

What was definitely dirty was the media telling the lie that 4 white cops killed an unarmed black man , when 3 of the cops were not white, to create hate.
