You know what? I'm gonna say. Numerous black people have been murdered by cops before, but how come George Floyd was the one who kickstarted this whole fucking mess!? I whole-heartedly agree that what happened to him was wrong as shit, but why the ever living mother of FUCK is the real life-equivalent of the fucking PURGE happening as we speak!? Rate me as Mad on the Internet, I don't mind, it's just that this whole shit is just mind-boggling.
To be fair, this is not the first case of this happening. Was talking with my folks and Rodney King came up as an example. There are plenty more, but it also starts to show how vicious of a cycle this is:
-->Some asshole cop who abuses the system to gain power kills a black guy/girl ruthlessly
-->People are outraged
-->Cops try use black person's criminal status to alleviate some of the blame instead of prosecuting said asshole cop
-->Pisses off more people who are rightfully upset
-->People begin to get antsy due to a lack of community trust/cooperation
-->Riots/Protests/Chaos breaks out
-->Virtue signalling galore (includes celebs, e-celebs and crappy commercials)
-->Everything dies down after there's nothing else to destroy and tensions alleviate
-->People are left to collect what remains of their homes that weren't destroyed/tensions rise between others
-->Everyone is left worst off while said cop is incarcerated for a light sentence or moved to another precinct.
-->Nothing is solved
And the cycle just repeats. Anyone saying these riots (not the peaceful protesters who actually give a damn) help "spread the message" should see how the media is going to spin this as another isolated incident that reflects bad on black community as a whole. There is no conversation to be had. Nothing gets done. And none of these artworks encourage that when you lie and misinform people.
