Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I’ll never forget the media outrage, riots and calls to defund the police 6 weeks before Floyd

Charles “Gage” Lorentz was on his way home to Colorado.
Lorentz, 25, had been working in the oil industry in Texas when he got behind the wheel March 21 to head home for a family visit. Along the way, he stopped to meet a friend at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
Within minutes of his arrival at the park, Lorentz was shot dead by a National Park Service ranger, who had confronted him for allegedly speeding on a dirt road in the Rattlesnake Springs area of the park.

On March 21, 2020, my son Charles Lorentz – “Gage,” as we called him – was driving back home to Colorado after completing a job in Texas. Sunday morning, when my son’s best friend alerted me that no one had seen or heard from my son, I knew something was terribly wrong. We began calling police and sheriff departments along the route he generally travelled home in an attempt to locate him. Like any mother, my imagination ran wild with worry. But every worst case scenario I feared paled in comparison with what I eventually found out happened to Gage that night.
After making calls for over an hour, a sheriff’s department in New Mexico gave me the horrifying details of why Gage had not come home. This detective informed me that there had been an “incident,” as he described it. My son had been shot by a national park ranger, twice. He was dead. Despite the fact that Gage had identification in his truck, no one had bothered to let us know.

Problems >>> Solutions in politics
I’ve said this for years. Floyd was another opportunity to address the problem, but it went racial from the first second. The narrative was quickly 100% about black men, when the narrative should have been much broader and with the racial component a small part. Then the media and leftists went full retard with the defund the police shit. The result has been a huge uptick in black men being murdered. But let’s keeps focusing on the wrong things.
Another opportunity missed by not letting a crisis go to waste.
Then we end up with pieces of shit like Jacob Blake being elevated to hero status, getting called on the phone by the VP and his name on NBA jerseys. What in the actual fuck?
