What started as peaceful protests over the truly outrageous death of George Floyd at the hands of the police in Minneapolis police turned into riots, looting and violence. Do the rioters want more Trump? Because this is how they get more Trump. Could MN AG Keith Ellison screw up the prosecution by over-charging the case? JB Pritzker is recorded on a bizarre phone call with Trump. At least he wasn’t trying to buy a political office this time. In addition to the rioters themselves, you have the very-online people doing pseudo-intellectual, performative virtue-signaling on social media to try to excuse rioting, which just takes the focus off of what happened to George Floyd more and more. Do we really need to be extorting statements from brands and sports teams and keeping track of who posted a black box on Instagram and who didn’t? Because that’s certainly what some people are doing. And finally, what are some actual reforms that people can support that could make things better?
