...but George Floyd was a
longtime junkie and convicted violent felon who once
held a pregnant woman hostage at gunpoint.
George Floyd was a dangerous thug... but try finding that needle in the politically-correct media haystack...
Floyd had landed five years behind bars in 2009 for an assault and robbery two years earlier, and before that, had been convicted of charges ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs.
Funny that no one is mourning
the lives lost, or livelihoods ruined in the
subsequent violent anarchy. The rush to
"bend the knee" to the mob beggars rational thinking.
"The Toronto Police Service are also grieving at the recent events," said Police Chief Mark Saunders, as he publicly knelt down.
Mayor John Tory said he would "without hesitation," also kneel with protesters if asked. "I'm listening very carefully to what the people are saying."
"I have a great deal of respect for Chief Saunders [kneeling]. He's showing incredible leadership," Premier Doug Ford said.
Truth be told... some people are born kneelers...
“I think that kind of talk about sort of, you know, where this all arises from, or sort of who’s to blame, is not very constructive,” Toronto Mayor John Tory told reporters in Nathan Phillips Square.
'Ol George is
not the guy you want to deify, but if you get a big enough mob, you can get people to say anything.
