    DS> His "crime", if there was one, was not in any way an excuse for murder.   
    DS> There is never any excuse for looting and arson -- but you should not   
    DS> paint all of the thousands of peaceful protesters with that brush.   
      
    GD> Maybe we could consider looking at the truth as we open our eyes and   
    GD> see what is going on in many cities of these so called peaceful   
    GD> protests.  The aftershock of what happened.    
      
   Yes -- you should open your eyes and your mind.  There was rioting and   
   looting by a small number of opportunists at first.  That has been   
   replaced by peaceful people protesting the systemic injustice that has   
   been going on for a long time.   
      
    GD> Why is there a national movement, to de-fund the Police.   
      
   To take some of the money used for violent interaction with the people   
   and put it towards more productive community service.  It does not mean   
   to eliminate the police.   
      
      
    GD> These people chant about wanting and demanding respect and equality.    
    GD> As far as equality they are as free as I am or as you are.    
      
   You need to open your eyes and mind.  The people at the heart of the   
   protests are not as free as you or I.   
      
    GD> George Floyd was a not a good guy, but he did NOT deserve to die.    
      
   What makes you say that George Floyd was not a good guy?   
      
    GD> There are many just like George Floyd who are very much alive and up   
    GD> to no good. His death was unfortunate but COPS lives matter too and   
    GD> have families to support. Why is it never mentioned if he didn't commit   
    GD> the crime of stealing he would still be living and breathing today.    
      
   George Floyd had not been convicted of stealing.  He was under suspicion   
   of passing a counterfeit $20 bill -- a misdemeanor if done knowingly.  No   
   crime at all if not done knowingly.
