It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets. - Voltaire

Nothing will bring George Floyd back. However, we need to hold those "cops" accountable. They need to be arrested and put into custody because they are clearly unstable and should not be free.

I'm not totally sure I support burning an American city to the ground.

On the other hand, the system has either failed or it has been designed with sinister intentions, and no one in power is expressing any interest in changing it. It's to the point where even police officers are coming out on social media to express disgust at the behavior of their fellow officers, and yet these officers are still defended and protected legally.

Again, I don't know if what's happening in Minneapolis is the right path to change. But no one is defining a right path to change, so I really can't blame people for gathering on the less than ideal path.

The way I see this going down:

City gives in, charges main cop involved Riot settles down, people care less about kicking up a stink now that main dude is arrested Everyone goes back to normal, nothing actually changes systemically
