America has struggled through five years of blue states and cities refusing to allow law enforcement to do their jobs since the overdose death of George Floyd, which came about during a violent struggle with police by the career criminal.
This from frontpagemag.com.
His death has been exploited to suppress law enforcement and unleash nationwide race riots and a crime wave that, among other devastating effects, killed over 3,000 people.
To wit:
– 3,595 black people were murdered in 2019. But in 2020, 5,839 black people were murdered,
– That’s an additional 2,244 black people killed,
– 56% of the murder victims of 2020 were black, and
– 3,060 white and Latino people were killed in 2019, which rose to 4,167 in 2020. The 36% increase is devastating, but the number of black people murdered in 2020 shot up 62%.
And 3,000 deaths is a whole lot more staggering than a golden coffin and members of Congress kneeling, but Floyd was merely an instrument, a tool of the Left. The radical Left now champions Hamas. Next, it will be some other means of mobilizing rage to generate violence and its ultimate goal of a political revolution.
The media is running pieces about how the ‘wave of change’ from George Floyd’s death faded away. But it has not entirely faded. Crime rates are improving, but the dead are not coming back.
The racist BLM movement killed thousands of people with its pro-crime advocacy. The campaign was funded by powerful foundations and donors. There have been no apologies or retractions.
What there really should be are trials.
Democrats have pulled back from some of their more radical proposals to dismantle law enforcement because the public turned against them, but there is every reason to believe they will embrace them again if the environment appears favorable.
This is not over yet. And it may be a long fight before America can breathe again.
