Eric Gardner
Michael Brown
Freddie Gray
Ask yourself: What got more coverage:
Folks actually burning St John's church or Trump walking to it.
Protesters at the gates of the White House or Trump going to the bunker
We look to divide as a society regardless who's in charge.
The way ahead should be unification, not division.
It's no more Trump's fault than it was Obama's.
In short What needs to happen:
We need to blame the person responsible for the action
Yeah, there are many things that I will say "both sides do it" about, this is definitely not one of them. If you are incapable of seeing how much Trump has shit the bed in this situation then you are just being blindly partisan. I have agreed many times with people shitting on Trump for no reason, but what he has done in the wake o the George Floyd situation is definitely not an overreaction by people. It is not one of those times.

Look, they rioted because they wanted the cop arrested. He was arrested and then they rioted because they wanted tougher charges and all four cops arrested. Tougher charges came and all four arrested. Nothing stopped.
Oh, the SCOTUS ruled that states can close churches to protect the populous. I guess that means peaceful protestors can be arrested too.
I was going to write in the Constitutionalist candidate this November but now I'm voting for Trump...This is BS.
You can't move the goalpost and expect to constantly be catered to.
There is so much wrong with this, I don't know where to begin. The BLM movement condemns violence and the looting. People that are not a part of that movement are taking advantage of the peaceful protests and using it as cover for their actions. If you want to listen to the corporate media's narrative and fall in line with the rest, just know you're doing so based on a lie.
