5 Years After George Floyd

Many of the reforms enacted after George Floyd was killed by a police officer are in danger of being undone by the Trump Administration.

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise -- and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers.

If recent history holds any lessons at all, we know that Donald Trump wants other people to suffer. Enjoys the suffering; has his ego gratified by it. So the reforms to policing will be attacked and destroyed.

I know that I sound like a nudge when I remind everyone that Donald is sincerely and destructively mentally ill, but everything he does can be traced to that insanity.

Apparently many Americans don't recognize insanity when they see it; or can manage not to be offended when it takes a ---- in their living rooms.

But Donald Trump's madness is defined by his sincere belief there is only one human being in the entire world, and that is him.

The rest of us are hamsters to inflict cigarette burns upon.

I think that sfter seeing who Trump is after this long and they are still quietly accepting him and the Republican Part's obsessive greed it now shows us what most Americans actually are and they just really don't care. They elected a racist Nazi and you think they didn't know or, at least suspect him to be exactly that?

Fighting against police brutality should never have been politicized or racialized. Yet all of you idiots keep doing it.

If someone can talk, they can breathe.

Not true. Obviously.

He was struggling to breathe.

You can still talk while struggling to breathe.

A person may be able to speak a few words or even a short sentence, but still not be able to breathe adequately for survival. The ability to speak does not mean you are getting enough air deep into your lungs to survive.

You really bought to ask your personal AI before you make incorrect medical statements such as that. It's pretty ez and saves a lot of embarrassment.

When a person or group tries to turn a criminal into a martyr it will never turn out well for any society or political faction.

But enough already about Don-old Trump, the criminal coup martyr of the far-right.
