Why is George Floyd, out of all of these "cop killing" events, deified like this? He died like a complete bitch, high on a lethal amount of drugs, crying and freaking out like a captured animal. He could have just gotten in the car and he would have MAYBE lived if he was able to survive the overdose. The cops were being absolute retards for not just closing the damn door on both sides instead of letting that moron exit the vehicle and accommodating his nonsensical requests of being put on the ground.
If it had been a blatantly obvious case of murder, both the left and the right would have agreed that the cop was guilty, and he would have been charged and that would have been the end of that.
Instead, we have a case which looks to one side like the most horrific case of racially instigated broad daylight murder via police brutality, and to the other side it looks as if a criminal died of a self-inflicted drug overdose, and that the police involved are being lynched in order to flame the fires of racial tension.
Personally, I think that the entire reason the media kept the spotlight on this specific incident, and kept amplifying it, is because they know that outrage sells.
The more tinfoil-hat side of me thinks that there is a push from an institutional level to constantly divide people by persuading them that everything wrong in America today is because of racism.
Between race relations, politics, and social justice, it seems as if the average person online in 2021 are straight-out incapable from having a conversation with half the population. They may as well be speaking in a unintelligible language, and trying to perceive the world through a completely foreign set of senses.
The leftist coalition of feminists, invaders, degenerates, minorities, and communists aren't being "duped" by the elites into hating and attacking us. They all hate us regardless. The elites have empowered and funded our enemies, but that doesn't mean we would be friends otherwise.

This is exactly the same way I see it.

Edit: The best article I've seen on the above phenomena: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/ (Thanks to Guy_Incognito76 for sharing it.)
There's nothing tinfoil about it. Every social justice issue is pushed by the elites to keep us divided instead of uniting against them.
The leftist coalition of feminists, invaders, degenerates, minorities, and communists aren't being "duped" by the elites into hating and attacking us. They all hate us regardless. The elites have empowered and funded our enemies, but that doesn't mean we would be friends otherwise.
this story never should have left the state
