Both men\u2019s careers should be canceled, and they should end up in jail for their crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There are more than forty million black people in America. Can\u2019t Black Lives Matter find at least <em>one<\/em> actual victim of racism?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Now, with the leak of the police body-camera footage of the arrest of George Floyd, we have confirmation of what sensible people suspected all along: George Floyd was not a victim of police brutality or injustice.<\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YPSwqp5fdIw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The story we had been sold was that, for no good reason, Floyd was thrown to the ground by a brutal cop, Derek Chauvin, who then put his knee on Floyd\u2019s neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd pled that he could not breathe, choking him to death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Based on this story, Derek Chauvin was fired and indicted for murder, and the three other cops who assisted him were fired and indicted for aiding and abetting murder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Also based on this story, America has been convulsed by more than two months of race riots, which have killed dozens, injured countless others, and destroyed billions of dollars in property and countless livelihoods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There were many facts that did not fit this story, however.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">George Floyd\u2019s autopsy revealed that he wasn\u2019t suffocated. Instead, he died of heart failure. He was suffering from heart disease and COVD-19. He also had the opioid fentanyl in his system as well as methamphetamine. The medical examiner said these drugs contributed to this death. (He also had traces of cannabis.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Beyond that, Floyd was apprehended before he could drive off, clearly intoxicated, after trying to pass a counterfeit bill. Should the police have allowed him to just drive away? Obviously not. They had to do something to get Floyd out of his car and away from the public so he could not endanger himself or others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The person who called the police reported that Floyd was acting strangely, which in all likelihood meant that he was intoxicated or mentally ill, thus not to be trifled with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It turns out that Floyd had a long criminal record, including an armed robbery in which held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman. In short, George Floyd was a real piece of shit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Moreover, putting a knee on an uncooperative suspect\u2019s neck is an approved police control technique, so how could Chauvin be indicted for murder?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Finally, there was never any evidence that <em>race<\/em> played any role in Floyd\u2019s death. He was not arrested because he was black, but because he committed a crime. He was not forcibly restrained because he was black, but because he was uncooperative. Two of the four officers were non-white. The claim that race had anything to do with Floyd\u2019s death at all was simply <em>a baseless assertion<\/em> amplified and endlessly repeated by the media and BLM agitators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">But now we <em>know<\/em> that it was all a fraud. What does the police body camera footage reveal?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">First of all, it reveals that George Floyd was dishonest, uncooperative, and acted deranged and scary.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Floyd claimed that he had just lost his mother (he hadn\u2019t).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">He claimed to be too claustrophobic to get in the police car, which was a lie because he was not too claustrophobic to sit in his own car.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">He claimed twice that he was not on drugs, falsely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">He refused repeatedly to allow the police to cuff him.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">He refused repeatedly to get in the police car.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">He claimed multiple times that he could not breathe <em>before<\/em> he ended up on the ground with Chauvin\u2019s knee on his neck. Obviously he was lying before that, so it made sense for Chauvin to disbelieve him when Floyd was on the ground. And, in any case, remember that the medical examiner said Floyd did not die of asphyxiation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Second, the video reveals that the police dealt with Floyd with a level of patience and professionalism that I certainly could not have mustered. One cannot say that Chauvin lost his patience or lashed out at Floyd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Ask yourself, dear reader, would you have been able to maintain <em>your<\/em> cool in the same situation? I know I would have snapped. I was thinking \u201cCouldn\u2019t we just arm police with tranquilizer darts to bring these beasts down?\u201d This video gives me nothing but respect for the police who have to deal day in and day out with deranged criminals like George Floyd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Was George Floyd a victim of injustice? No, he died because (1) he committed a crime, (2) refused to comply with the police, and (3) was so high on drugs that he was not up to the rigors of being forcibly arrested. If he hadn\u2019t done any of those things, he \u2014 and a lot of other people \u2014 would still be alive today. George Floyd\u2019s death was <em>entirely<\/em> his fault. It wasn\u2019t murder. It was the predictable result of Floyd\u2019s own bad character and bad choices. It was his just desserts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">George Floyd got justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Now we have to secure justice for Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers, as well as for the millions of Americans whose lives have been turned upside down by this massive hoax perpetrated by the government of Minneapolis, the State of Minnesota, Black Lives Matter, the mainstream media, and the far Left \u2014 aided and abetted by the craven eunuchs of the mainstream Right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If I were Donald Trump, I would invoke the Insurrection Act, spend the next few weeks arresting the leaders of BLM and antifa, as well as their collaborators in state and municipal governments, for the crimes they have already committed. Once the Leftist beast is decapitated, I would pardon Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers. Then I\u2019d grab some popcorn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cBut we could never do that! Blacks would burn the country down!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">If that is your initial reaction, I want you to reflect on it. Derek Chauvin, his fellow officers, and the whole planet have been victimized by a blatant hoax. If we can\u2019t do the right thing and call a stop to it, then aren\u2019t we admitting that <em>we have to choose between having justice and having black people in America<\/em>? Well I choose justice. Which is reason number one-hundred-million-and-one why I believe that blacks and whites in America need to go our separate ways.
