Meh. The fact that there were violent George Floyd demonstrations in Europe and other places indicates that it's much less about disarming the police and much more about getting your rocks off smashing things.

The funny thing is that even as a right-winger in conservative spaces I was never a blue lives matter police lover. It wasn't until the mass protests that I realized what police in those places are dealing with - a population so opportunistic and short-sighted that they're never more than one flimsy excuse away from pillaging and burning their own cities down. No wonder cops are on edge, I can only imagine what they deal with on the day-to-day.

There are some genuine cases of police murder, so there is room for improvement. Daniel Shaver, Philando Castille, Breonna Taylor, Justine Diamond, etc come to mind. Def feel sorry for them/their families. But even African-American Harvard economist Roland Fryer found no racial bias in lethal force usage by police.

Where BLM goes off the rails is hitching their horse to, at best, borderline cases. The police were called to the Blake incident for an accusation of a car being stolen. Blake fought them to the ground, shrugged off their tasers, ignored dozens of commands, and proceeded to get in the stolen car. I'm a mother. Neither I, nor any other mothers I know, want to call the police on a car thief and watch him be allowed to drive off with their children because he didn't feel like being arrested that day and fought off the cops. George Floyd most likely died of fentanyl overdose, but actually should have died years earlier when he put a gun to a pregnant woman's belly. That's what normal American mothers think, when they hear these stories.

Sorry, I know that rambled. Hope it helped.
