You are the one saying Trump did this...prove it.

I didn’t make that argument and now you want me to prove it for you.

I never said Trump did this but he sure as hell is making it worse with his comments. Once a cop kills the black man, Trump walks a tight line to not anger his base (extreme pro police) or the police unions that endorse him.

He knows his base isn't heavily represented in the black community so he cares less about making a change that appeals to them and cares more about not losing his base.

Also, you criticized the Atlanta mayor. Read her statement from yesterday and tell me where she's wrong. You can hate on her based on the fact that she's a black female who happens to be a Democrat, but this is what leadership looks like. You attempt to ease tensions instead of fanning the flames:

1. “Let me just speak to what’s happening here today. Above everything else, I am a mother. I am a mother to four black children in America, one of whom is 18 years old. And when I saw the murder of George Floyd, I hurt like a mother would hurt. And on yesterday, when I heard there were rumors about violent protests in Atlanta, I did what a mother would do. I called my son and I said, ‘Where are you?’ I said, ‘I cannot protect you,’ and black boys shouldn’t be out today. So you’re not going to out-concern me and out-care me about where we are in America.”

2. “I wear this each and every day, and I pray over my children each and every day. So what I see happening on the streets of Atlanta is not Atlanta. This is not a protest. This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. This is chaos.”

3. “A protest has purpose.“

4. So when you burn down this city, you’re burning down our community! You are disgracing our city, you are disgracing the life of George Floyd and every other person who has been killed in this country!

5. “And in the same way I couldn’t protect my son on yesterday, I cannot protect you out in those streets. You’re drawing knives at our police officers, you are burning cars. You have defaced the CNN building. Ted Turner started CNN in Atlanta 40 years ago because he believed in who we are as a city. There was a black reporter who was arrested on camera this morning who works for CNN. They are telling our stories. And you are disgracing their building.”

6. “This won’t change anything! We’re no longer talking about the murder of an innocent man. We’re talking about how you’re burning police cars on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia.”

I personally enjoy Americans no longer having to pay a fine if they dont have health insurance myself.

I am insured through my job but I was never a fan of that.

What in the video suggests he was killed "for being black"?

And the other 3 cops?

---

What about them? What does this have to do with a museum being looted in Atlanta?

quote:

---

So this guy was killed just because he was black

They wouldn’t have done this to a white guy. Quit playing dumb.

Health insurance was/is the biggest scam in the country, but under the current system, if you don’t have health insurance you will inevitably end up being a strain on taxpayers when you need medical care that you can’t afford. The bottom line is health care is not free and that fine was a confusing way of ensuring everyone paid in. Not only that but having a population that gets regular check ups saves taxpayers money down the road.

My health care costs tripled after ACA was passed so it costed me much more money so it ended up being a strain on the taxpayers anyway.

Disgraceful
