It's a terrible, painful, and unfair act that befall George Floyd, a black man in the hands of a white cop. I condemn such murderous acts of innocent folks by the authorities. Personally, I desire to see the police in place exercising its duty of keeping law and order but that should be done fairly in a well-regulated manner.
People need to always be reminded that the authorities and the common man are all human beings that have feelings; these can be hurt in case of any negative selfish behavior of any party.
I love and support peace and freedom for all humanity in this world. Peaceful protests are a good thing that I encourage people to do when they are against any unfair policies and misconduct of the authorities. The problem comes in when peaceful protests turn into riots where some people go extreme and hurt others. That eventually spoils the entire thing.
I was grieved by the unfair killing of George Floyd but I am more grieved to see rioters stealing people's properties and destroying lots of valuable assets of the nation. The government should, therefore, do whatever it takes to bring back peace and order in the nation.
Thanks for sharing.
Well said. We all should be outraged at the murder of George Floyd, not just because he was a black man but because he was a human who had his life taken away for no good reason.
Unfortunately, these riots have resulted in more loss of life despite the protests initially being aimed at saving lives in the future. What's worse is that it appears in some areas, it is the African American community who are now suffering the most by having their businesses and housing tarnished and destroyed.
