Rayshard Brooks and George Floyd are not equal and Black America better be careful not to conflate the two! – June 14, 2020,
A quick warning to Black America, despite the current actions of the Atlanta police department, who fired Garrett Rolfe and put Devin Brosnan on administrative duty following the killing of Rayshard Brooks, if you look at the Rayshard Brooks situation from an unbiased point of view, you can see the situation for what it is not and not make it a clear cut case that Garrett Rolfe did not kill Rayshard Brooks racially.
First of at no point was Rayshard Brooks subdued, Rayshard Brooks who was driving drunk was resisting arrest from the very beginning, this entire event from I read took over 40 minutes long. In most countries, especially in countries where the officers are of the same race, cops aren’t going to waste this much time with an individual who is openly and repeatedly breaking the law.
Yes, there are police protocols to follow, but when a human being who is not being biased observes this Rayshard Brooks case, it seems less about race and more to do with frustration. If Rayshard Brooks were white, it’s unlikely white people would even care, it’s rare any white person brings up Tony Timpia and the reason is that you can’t forget cops are humans too.
Now, what the Black Lives Matter folks will do to themselves as they start to include every white cop shooting involving a black suspect is getting more and more independent people doing research on what’s really happening.
It’s important to remember that outside of the United States, the people of the world, don’t really understand the specifics and if people start researching the specifics related to police and black people in America being killed, the conclusion a lot of people will come to is that there are a lot of black criminals causing a lot of good cops a lot of problems.
the end conclusion many will come to is that although the shooting of George Floyd was wrong a lot of black Americans are breaking the law and putting police in difficult situations. What I’m seeing right now is the media trying to milk this George Floyd killing for everything it’s worth.
This in time will lead to people again privately at best having a neutral stance. Sure publically, nobody wants to be ostracized if the period of time is one that says cops are bad and black lives matter, but this is again how Black lives from an economic perspective deflate in value.
Social Justice goes both ways and the justification for more regulations in the form of social justice and fewer-police because black people are being killed by police for apparently no reason, is going to really equate to social and economic hardships for black people in the United States.
I personally prefer to focus on economics, and one of the topics I wrote most about is putting all poor people under the same umbrella. I believe in individualism and I’m sorry all poor people aren’t created equal. In this era, the real probably the working poor are facing is the law-breaking, lazy poor people.
If you work and pay your taxes, you do realize that in the United States the main reason you’re poor is because of welfare consumers and the criminal elements! I hope Black people around the world comprehend this very basic thing. The standard of living in America is very high in comparison to other parts of the world, a higher standard of living gets deflated by Welfare and criminal behavior.
Because white communities have fewer crimes, they spend fewer municipal and even State taxes on fixing inequality. Fixing inequality is expensive, it requires a lot of government employees who don’t work for free, let me repeat myself listen to me black people GOVERNMENT WORKERS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE!!!, GOVERNMENT WORKERS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE!!!, GOVERNMENT WORKERS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE!!!, GOVERNMENT WORKERS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE!!!, GOVERNMENT WORKERS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE!!! Making matters worse most government workers have labour unions which also consume more tax dollars!
the large the government presence is in an area, the more expensive it becomes for private companies like WENDY’S to operate businesses there. With all of this looting and burning down of businesses, business-related insurance costs are going to sky-rocket and guess what group of humans are going to have to pay for all of these stupid higher costs of living prices? Yup! Black people!
Now even if the local, State or Federal governments find a way to artificially keep consumer prices down, the economics of a predominantly black city will suffer. Furthermore, if I’m a productive, industrious black person t best I’m sending donations to you, if I’m an intelligent black person, why would I want my children or family growing up with this political black lives matter movement?
The money currently being funneled to law enforcement is going to go to some other government agency, so defunding the police is going to make the situation a lot worst for many black communities in the United States. Government people usually have never run a business and the moment you start expecting your government to operate like a business, the more you start to comprehend that fish rots at the top!
Democrats are usually responsible for the destruction of black communities and if you want to know why it’s because most democrats aren’t business people. Do you notice how I shifted the entire topic from social to economic? It’ because even if you believe in socialism, the management team is extremely important to the success of your socialist utopia!
Lots of money concentrated in one area won’t make that area rich, it’s how the money is spent and what the money is spent on that matters. If you don’t understand the business of things, you won’t know how to add economic value to a black life! The money being spent on police if put to something else will make your situation worse and clearly, whoever is in charge of Black lives matter better do something about the Leftist mainstream media because they’re going to drown out any momentum you have now!
If this reading comes across as cruel, well social justice is cruel, democracy is cruel, a group of people picking winners and losers Better be pure as “Black Jesus!” because eventually, the democracy mob will turn on the host as it looks for another hip new cause to rally around!
In my personal opinion what happened to George Floyd was horrible, it’s hard to watch, but what I observed with Rayshard Brooks is subjective, I can see the point of the officers, in this case, Rayshard Brooks was drunk resisting, who knows what he might have had on him and what he was capable of doing if allowed to getaway.
Yes, he was searched but in the midst of the excitement, Brooks caused… things happen, you resist, especially when the action was minimal initially, humans react, cops are human and do dumb things, this doesn’t make things racial! I think there’s a civil lawsuit in this, but this is definitely not white people targeting a black man, this is the best video online I could find! Please watch it without bias, I could see a white person or an alien from mars being shot in this exact same situation the only difference is no one would care!
Sure maybe Garrett Rolfe could have handled the situation differently, but the backstory to this case and many other white cop black suspect deaths are opened to interpretation because in case black people haven’t noticed, a lot of people in the world have little to no interactions with the police in their lifetimes.
For a capitalist like myself, Interacting with any government person is expensive. I don’t like interacting with government people, I don’t like government offices, if a government person calls me my heart starts racing because I’m old and the government doesn’t call for good news, the government calls people like me usually because it wants money!
So in order for people like me to care, the situation has to resonate with me, George Floyd resonated with me, Rayshard Brooks, on the other hand, I’ve been drunk before, I’ve been drunk in public before, as a child, if adults came around and I was drunk I’d quickly sober up and move around a lot less, if the police come around and I’m drunk in public, the last thing I’m going to to do is drive an automobile.
Do you know how expensive that ticket would be? I’d probably lose my liberty to drive, I’d have to show up in court and talk to a bunch of government people, I’d need a lawyer who be in his/her right to charge me a ridiculous price to represent me in court. I’m sorry I care more about myself than that.
I can’t relate to Rayshard Brooks and I know I’m not alone and if Black protestors begin to merge Rayshard Brooks with George Floyd you’re going to alienate a lot of people and lose any momentum you had for police reform! In my world humans of all races are either financially smart or financially stupid, I don’t care what their skin color is, if they and I can make money together they’re okay with me!
Interesting times ahead!
