smittyoneeach's Journal: Blasphemy Against St. George Floyd

via d_r's favorite blog, PowerLine

Alpha News presents The Fall of Minneapolis. Alpha has just posted the crowdfunded film to Rumble (video below) so that it can be seen free of charge by the widest possible audience. The film is also accessible online at The Fall of Minneapolis. Viewers can contribute to support Alpha's work and help promote the film here. I attended the film's premiere at a showing for invited guests on Tuesday evening at a local theater. Hayley Feland reported on the premiere in this Alpha story. The film is based on Alpha News journalist Liz Collin's Amazon bestseller Theyâ(TM)re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd. The book and the film provide a contrarian take on the prevailing narrative surrounding George Floyd's death and the trial of Derek Chauvin as well as a powerful portrait of the consequences for Minneapolis.

I understand that contradicting a Holy Narrative this way makes me, somehow, personally culpable for every bad thing that ever happened to anyone with relatively more skin pigment than I, if I have understood the Doctrine of Equity correctly. If only I could have cared less, I suppose.

Sardonic humor aside, George Floyd's death is tragic. The ripple effects, in my opinion, have piled evil upon tragedy, and have not fully run their course. The country badly needs reform from the individual heart on outward.

Can we turn down the rhetoric a bit?

I'm not aware of anyone who suggests that George Floyd was in any way perfect or "saintly". Such praise seems to be exclusively a straw man from Your Team.

What we should be able to agree on though is that Your New Hero was indeed a bad cop. He murdered someone for no obvious reason. I'm willing to consider that perhaps he had some reason other than racism in his action; I can't read his mind and he's not sharing what his motivation was. We should also be able to agree that nothing Floyd did that day

Well, that wasn't anything like a balanced, intellectually honest reply. The situation was a tragedy, and it continues to be an ugly political football used by the anti-Western forces.

When does a good cop murder an unarmed civilian? His defense team is trying to get his case retried on technicalities, not on evidence. Chauvin also had other complaints brought against him for brutality from earlier in his career; he did not learn the correct lesson. His choice to murder someone has brought a great stain upon the Minneapolis Police Department, and is directly related to their recruitment issues.

anti-Western forces

Hmm, I guess that includes the supreme court [foxnews.com].. they must be in on it, huh?

Re:

Perhaps, passively.

Yes, and the earth really is flat. I am amused when you tell me that I don't see what's going on in front of me... again with the projection

You'll "just add a variable" in due time.
