Donald Trump has hijacked the lynching of George Floyd the germinate the societal seeds of white supremacy and racism to create mass chaos. He has stoked the racial coals in creating a fiery and dangerous climate of hate that is so grave that civil unrest is inevitable once those seeds come full bloom. In the home children are socialized to abide by and respect parental authority. In sports, franchises and athletes are expected to exercise decorum to respect their fellow competitors irrespective of the outcome. American citizens are expected to show deference and respect to the office of the President of the United States irrespective of their politics. My apologies in advance.

Based on various video accounts Floyd was not shown to be unruly nor did said accounts demonstrate Floyd ever resisted arrest. The only resistance that’s clear to a large segment of the world was former officer Derek Chauvin forcibly kneeling on Floyd’s neck that ultimately resulted in his death. This afternoon, Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. As of this writing the other three officers have not been charged.
