Bad luck? Not good at hiding their crimes? Doing it openly?

There could literally be thousands of explanations.

Looking at Black Crime and even all the videos on these 'protests' one thing that is evident is that the whites are generally more scared to show their faces whilst blacks have got a 'in your face' approach. The video about the dog comes to mind. So perhaps a cultural thing??

'He wears the armor of God': evangelicals hail Trump's church photo op


The president’s appeal to his base amid protests was derided by some Christians. Others saw a victory in a world of evil

No one accuses Donald Trump of subtlety. When the US president raised a Bible overhead on Monday evening outside St John’s Episcopal church in Washington DC, the sign was unmistakable: an appeal to his white evangelical base for loyalty, as protests and riots roared across America.

Not every Christian answered the call. The Rev Gini Gerbasi, an Episcopal priest, said police used teargas to drive her and others from St John’s before Trump’s appearance. “They turned holy ground into a battleground,” she told Religion News Service.

But many of Trump’s evangelical supporters, far from Washingtons political stage, saw the move as a victory in a world rife with evil.


“My whole family was flabbergasted,” said Benjamin Horbowy, 37.

The Horbowys had gathered in Tallahassee, Florida, to watch live as Trump walked from the White House to St John’s. “My mother just shouted out, ‘God give him strength! He’s doing a Jericho walk!’”

A Jericho walk, in some evangelical circles, refers to the biblical book of Joshua, where God commanded the Israelites to walk seven times around the opposing city of Jericho, whose walls then came crashing down.

George Floyd death

What does Antifa have to do with the riots? Antifa are crowdfunding for those arrested in the riots. Are you really this unaware of what is happening? Do you think a violent organisation such as Antifa would sit this one out?

You know, the post where you delved into insults instead of making a coherent arguement. Sound familiar?

Carry on carrying water for those thugs and attack everyone that is talking about it in a manner which does not sit well with you. They are really destroying minority lives and their own futures. I am sure your whataboutisims are making you feel better.

Today, only 16 percent of state prisoners are serving time for drug offenses—nearly all of them for trafficking. Drug possession accounts for only 3.6 percent of state prisoners. Drug offenders make up a larger portion of the federal prison caseload—about 50 percent—but only 13 percent of the nation’s prisoners are under federal control. In 2014, less than 1 percent of sentenced drug offenders in federal court were convicted of simple drug possession; the rest were convicted of trafficking. The size of America’s prison population is a function of our violent crime rate. The U.S. homicide rate is seven times higher than the combined rate of 21 Western nations plus Japan, according to a 2011 study by researchers of the Harvard School of Public Health and UCLA School of Public Health.

The most dangerous misconception about our criminal justice system is that it is pervaded by racial bias. For decades, criminologists have tried to find evidence proving that the overrepresentation of blacks in prison is due to systemic racial inequity. That effort has always come up short. In fact, racial differences in offending account for the disproportionate representation of blacks in prison. A 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases from the country’s 75 largest urban areas found that blacks actually had a lower chance of prosecution following a felony than whites. Following conviction, blacks were more likely to be sentenced to prison, however, due to their more extensive criminal histories and the gravity of their current offense.

Protests started in 2016 now bearing fruits

All four ex-officers face charges in Floyd case, senator says
The officer who pressed his knee on Floyd's neck now faces a charge of second-degree murder, an upgrade on his previous charge, Sen. Klobuchar says



The former Minneapolis Police officer who pressed his knee into George Floyd's neck was charged with second-degree murder and the three other officers on scene during his killing are charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder, according to court documents.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's official announcement of the charges is expected to come Wednesday afternoon, more than a week after Floyd was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis, sparking nationwide protests that call for the end to police violence against black citizens.

The three other officers on scene, Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng, are charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.

Chauvin, who had his knee pressed into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes, had previously been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Lane and Keung, who helped restrain Floyd, and Thao, who stood near the others, were not initially charged.

Two autopsies on Floyd determined that he died by homicide. Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo fired the four officers and said they were "complicit" in Floyd's death. Floyd's family and protesters nationwide have called for them to be arrested and convicted for the killing.

Court records confirm new charges - report.

According to court records in Minnesota today, the charges that we expect attorney general Keith Ellison to announce shortly against the police who killed George Floyd have been filed, CNN reports.

They confirm a second degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes. And charges against the other three officers present of aiding and abetting second degree murder.
 
Stumbled into a liberal type facebook group before even knowing about this Floyd fellow. I was responding to the picture "Black Lives Matter" with All Lives Matter.

After a few hours I left feeling that apparently all lives don't matter. The irony was not lost.

Donald Trump has claimed to have spent only a “tiny” amount of time in a reinforced security bunker under the White House as protesters clashed with Secret Service agents outside and has insisted his time there was for an “inspection”, not his own safety.

Do you think posts like these annoy Trump supporters on MyBB or something? Why would they care when they know what happens when November comes around...?
