You and I have had some discussions. If you are going to say she was in the wrong which she was then why do some people get upset if you point out that while George Floyd didn’t deserve to die he certainly shouldn’t be treated like some saint. I mean the people in the car with him told him to just listen to the cops. He probably panicked and took the drugs.
Yes, George Floyd should have stayed in the car. Yes, George Floyd should have just listened. However, at no point was George Floyd advancing to go after senators and other lawmakers. You can tell me that Ashlii and company “just wanted to talk” as others have been suspiciously quick to point out. But like it or not, Ashlii was part of a mob, and mob mentality is a real thing. Who knows what would have happened had they not been stopped dead in their tracks after that final breach. Ashlii Babbitt was a direct threat. George Floyd was not. There is no comparison to be made and in doing so, you’ve potentially invalidated any good points you were going to make.
Will you also admit that the people who got in senators faces during the Kavanaugh hearing were in the wrong?
But as I said before the people who stormed the Capitol were in the wrong. She didn’t deserve to die but shouldn’t have been there. I guess I’m just sick of the hand wringing over the Capitol riot (which was wrong) and the cheering of the Floyd riots. I must be a bad person for caring about people who lost their businesses or people in bad areas who are screwed because businesses left. All because some idiots think they are oppressed. Police accountability is important but it’s interesting how the media picks and chooses what cases to highlight. How it turned into clueless young people whining about how oppressed they are is beyond me.
George Floyd is actually more similar to (four?) other people who died there. There was tear gas employed against a crowd including a lot of elderly, and I think one might have been pushed by a cop and fall down to his death. There was even a drug overdose near the police, too.

Good point. I mean that is consistent
Which is why Rittenhouse was found innocent, innit

But no one even cares about these deaths at all.
"It's okay when we do it."
To whom, the SWAT team mingling around her that was then startled by a sudden gunshot so much one of them then raised his rifle towards the shooter?
