EXCELLENT POINT
Slavery = democrats.
Minnesota = democrat governor for 9 years.
Minneapolis = democrat mayors for 42 years.
Hennepin County = Sherrif (D) refuses to enforce federal law.
Minneapolis = City (D) refuses to enforce federal law.
Former Hennepin County Prosecutor = Amy Klobuchar (D) who refused to prosecute such cases in the past.
Hennepin County sheriff = David Hutchinson (D).
Minneapolis Chief of Police = Medaria Arradondo (D).
Who is to blame in the media and from the left's POV = whites, republicans, conservatives and Trump.
Now, what was your point ... if anything?

As I watch the video of the protests, it is obvious that a large percentage of the protesters are young white people who are very disturbed about what they are seeing in this country.

Within the last few days, President Tweety retweeted a video where a cowboy stated that "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat ". That should calm things down. What a leader!

The Washington Post has a database of every killing by police since 2015. Here are the numbers:
Black: 1252
Hispanic: 877
White: 2385
Other: 214
Total: 4728
Black as percentage of total: 26.4%
318 of those killed were unarmed;
134 white, 107 black, 56 hispanic and 21 other.
Many of the killings of black victims became national stories: Walter Scott, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Terence Crutcher, Eric Harris, and of course now Mr. Floyd.
Now, can you name one unarmed victim killed by a police office out of the 211 who were not black?
Me neither.
And why can't we? Because the media haven't turned those incidents into nationwide stories. So the media want us to believe - inaccurately - that police killings are a "black problem". The numbers clearly say that you're wrong.

Those numbers are staggering and it is a "people" problem for all of us.

Why are they first on your list? Did I miss some information, or is it personal bias on your part? This is a question, not an accusation.

I have a been thinking about the Sudden Civil Unrest across the Nation, it seems to be a well coordinated Riot. I keep trying to guess who the organizer might be, who might have the most to gain from this.
ANY IDEAS?

The unrest is not simply about this murder, it is about the conditions in which a significant segment of our society lives... There is a reason for the discord that has manifested itself, welfare checks do not fix the problem and it is a problem that requires a national focus.

So, what is your solution? Yes, there is a large disparity between the black community and others in our country, but how do we fix it, how do we mend the cultural divide in this country, and if you don't think that culture plays a large role here I would suggest that you are mistaken.

Why did an incident like this lead to riots across the Nation. The entire nation from the President right down to nearly every John and Jane citizen is screaming murder, why now does the riot begin, why, because the election is near and all attempts from day 1 until now have failed to remove the president. Never trust a Politician of either party, their main objective is to stay in office and plate their pockets with golden fleece.
I don't think the checkmates and archs of the world are nearly as destructive and dangerous as those who appear normal, at least on first encounter, and push the same lines.

How about restating that based on the percentage of the population of each group that represents. It would be revealing.
