This week we saw video of the police kneeling on the neck of
George Floyd shortly before he died while in police custody. The video has gone
viral, and the police officers involved have been fired. The protests have turned into riots, with
police cars being attacked and store being looted.
While the initial incident is tragic, and the loss of life
terrible, the subsequent hysteria and rioting are boring and predictable. The Media and the Left are seeking to
sharpen the racial divide in this country by whipping up a racially charged hysteria.
The same weekend that this man died at the hands of the
Police, 60 people were shot and 9 killed in Chicago. Not a single news story was done nationally
about the carnage in Chicago. The
largely black-on-black wave of never-ending violence does not get any
attention, but a single death in Minneapolis results in wall to wall coverage
that stokes protests and riots.
If it seems like there is a pattern to the periodic
appearance of Black Lives Matters and other leftist protest groups on the
national stage, well, that is because there is. Every election year, like clockwork, the Left
manufactures a protest cycle about some incident that fits the narrative.
This is an election year and the summer hasn’t even gotten
started. Expect that this will get worse
before it gets better.
