Where's the media outrage?  The crazy thing is, the majority agreed, Republican, Democrat, and Independent,  this was excessive force in the George Floyd case. The vast majority, including me, agreed the police officer Chauvin should be tried and convicted in a court of law.  I agree with peaceful protests, but what justice is it when the protesters against the murder of a black man start murdering black men? I strongly believe that Antifa is the group committing the majority of the violence for their own purposes, and they don't give a rat's ass about George Floyd or anything besides their own agenda.

There is no justifying those actions for those deaths. None. Peaceful protestors like MLK have died for their message they firmly believe in. There will certainly be people who take advantage of a situation for something other than change. Don't let what they're doing discredit the message of the masses. Just like the whole Kap kneeling situation. People bend over backwards to lash out at him while completely ignoring the message he's trying to convey. They're focus is on the wrong area. Maybe his methods are wrong, but why should we try to silence his message? Silence is a form of oppression, which is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing.
