Because in Georgia there is no real all white neighborhoods and nothing to burn down in Georgia anyway.
But when you witness a slow death by cop that pissed everyone off.
The rioting, burning, and looting was just an excuse for Tide Pod eaters to find something to be offended about for no reason.
Do some research. Those were undercover cops who started the riots. And most protestors now are very peaceful until the cops become the assholes that they are and teargas them.
@Froyologirl LMAO STFU idiot Tide Pod eating ______ !
Tide pod eating lmao. You trump supporters and your comebacks. Come back with an actual argument.
@standingUP so give me a better argument
They both matter. George Floyd is simply at the forefront because he was murdered by a cop, with multiple other cops present who did not help him. Also the death of George Floyd is a bit more recent so it’s still fresh in the minds of the public. Ahmaud was killed in February, but it didn’t draw attention til a bit later. Floyd was killed in May. But at the end of the day they both matter.
Who said both their lives didn’t matter?
i think Floyd’s death was the breaking point
I do think Amhauds death was far worse because he was murdered by a mob of white men. His death looked like a scene from the kkk.
it’s both just terrible honestly
every black person murdered by police is being honored

This is a must watch. BLM is just a bunch of criminal crying racism for special privileges
You see there is nothing as a target, you say some people did this but you know most people aren't exactly like this so it doesn't make a very good news story... now replace it with police being that bad or some with some form of power, it might insight fear and probably might make a good news story...
Because one was supposedly killed by police, police are the main targets of these terrorists because they restrict them from committing horrible acts of crime against the American people, so they used it as an excuse to do all of this, knowing that fake news outlets would cover it up and bail them of any responsibility for what they're doing.
Oh yeah looking like a dude who used a counterfeit 20 dollar bill is totally reason to murder someone.
@Waffled731 I didn't say what happened was justified and the cop who put his knee on him is a horrible cop, as are the cops who were with him and didn't bring attention to the possibility that he actually can't breathe and using a different detainment method that wouldn't carry with it the same possibility of causing harm to him. The fact that they are politicizing his death by playing identity politics and using his skin color to feed their narrative that cops are racist and that they should be killed is ridiculous. by the way, more than twice as many whites are killed every year by police than blacks, even though blacks are the most likely to attack police, statistically a cop is 18.5× more likely to be attacked by a black man than the other way around, the reason cops end up surviving is because attacking police officers almost never works out for the attacker. This year, cops have been doing much better than at any point in the previous decade, we're on pace to have less than half the amount of people killed by police than any year in the 2010s. I had to delete some stuff so I wouldn't run out of space. Let's compare the percentages of those killed by police to their population percentage based on a 2019 census which is unfortunately the only reliable source I was able to find on population as the rest was just CNN, Buzzfeed garbage.
2017:
Whites-46.3% vs 60.4%
Blacks- 22.59% vs 13.4%
Hispanics- 18.14% vs 18.3%
Other- 4.46% vs 1.5%
If we assume all people listed as unknown, I'll be generous and assume all of them are either black or hispanic and add all of them to the list of deaths by police and show the percentage.
With unknown added-
Blacks: 31.10%
Hispanics: 26.64%
2018-
Whites- 40.06% vs 60.4%
Blacks- 20.98% vs 13.4%
Hispanics- 14.86% vs 18.3%
Other- 3.61% vs 1.5%
With unknown added:
Blacks- 41.46%
Hispanics- 35.34%
2019-
Whites- 36.85% vs 60.4%
Blacks- 23.41% vs 13.4%
Hispanics- 15.74% vs 18.3%
Other-3.88% vs 1.5%
With unknown added:
Blacks- 43.53%
Hispanics- 35.86%
2020:
Whites-18.42% vs 60.4%
Blacks-13.60% vs 13.4%
Hispanics-5.70% vs 18.3%
Other-1.32% vs 1.5%
With unknown race instances added:
*Blacks-74.56%
*Hispanics-66.67%
*out of the 228 people killed by police in 2020 so far, 139 of them has a race listed as "unknown".
Now, let's compare people killed by police every month so we can accurately compare them to this year:
2017:82.25 per month
2018:83.00 per month
2019:83.67 per month
2020:45.6 per month
Now let's look at 2017 statistics of police killed on the job, since I couldn't find more recent numbers likely because lefties have censored it.
Police killed in 2017: 55
46 were white
7 were black
None were listed as Hispanic
Racial demographics of police in 2020:
77.1% white
12% black
12% hispanic
Now quick facts for mental health factors in police shootings- 50% of white, 20% of black, and 30% of hispanics killed by police involved mental health issues and it's estimated that between 90-95% of everyone shot by police was attacking one or more officers prior to being shot, they won't spit out how that breaks down by race, but the number still means the idea that cops are shooting people for no reason at all in record numbers is a load of crap.
Bullshit.
Shit like Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the like happens all the time and nothing gets changed.
There is a systematic and institutional racism in policing.
Hell Nixon Openly admitted to starting the war on drugs to Hurt African Americand
The fact that I'm not surprised by your response completely absent of facts is a bit sad, and I mean that in the most genuine way.
There is always going to be a straw that broke the camels back. Doesn't mean the straw that came before or any of the straws for that matter didn't play a part in breaking the camels back, just that at some point all the straw combined broke the camels back.
Every black life that was lost prior played a part in the events that we see today. Just that Georges death was the last straw and it broke societies back.
Ahmaud Arbery was on the two men's property and they thought he was a robber running off with stolen goods. They attempted to put him under citizen's arrest but evidently ended his life. They were revording as evidence for the police not knowing they were documenting a death. I'm not saying what anyone did is justified but i feel li ke the situation really wasn't as big of a racial matter as the media made it out to be...
He wasn't on their property, it was someone else's, and he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, if he'd stolen anything from a construction site (which several other people has looked in to), it would have been very small.
You know what they could have done? Taken a photo of him for the police, if there did turn out to be a crime.
Both lives do matter... why would you say otherwise? They died tragically. If you rely on all of the news from social media, you will only hear what other people want you to hear. Use all of your resources, not just social media/media.
I don't go on social media.
Always remember Breonna Taylor.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/-iuNzTomfy0Oh, let me respond to the entire post then. If you think this is just about George Floyd, you are pretty much late the party. We have been protesting police violence for decades.
![George Floyd vs. Ahmaud Arbery, why don't both their black lives matter?]()
That's right!
A second autopsy requested by the family from an independent expert concluded that the kneeling and choking was the cause of his death.
People were upset about both but the outrage over George Floyd's death isn't just over his death in particular, it's about a recurrent pattern of police brutality. While hate crimes have adversely impacted African American communities, police brutality is a much bigger problem.
both of them are freemasons used by the eilte to fool your asses! everyday the sheeple get fooled every day think about since the day you being born you being fooled!
he's not dead or got killed he played a character you fools like kobe bryant micheal jackson and even donald trump. get woke out there sheeple.
Smart man!
@Dr_Sausa Thanks ;-)
Because Floyd's death can fuel anti-police sentiments and movement. Consider David Dorn, he was a retired police officer killed over a TV during the riots. He was a civil hero and he died like a common criminal, he died defending a store. Does not his life matter as well? Black lives matter, isn't really about the good of black people, it is a racist anti-police terrorist group. They don't care about any other life than what they can use to riot over or attack police with.
Uhh there is video evidence for both. Also the media picks and choose which story they think will get them views so people who deserve attention will not always get it because of stupid news media
The more important question is this: why are black lives important enough to riot over, but other lives are not? When a black person gets arrested, they are actually LESS likely to be killed by police than anyone else who gets arrested. The same things happen to whites, Hispanics, Asians and others, but we never hear about them in the national media and there are never any riots. Why is that?
It's been building up for years. These two are not the first, nor the worst cases and I guess in the wise words of that quiet kid in class, "Enough is enough".
I don't know man. People always frame them as innocent and the police as evil.
Yet George Floyd was a criminal known for theft, violence and drug abuse... Not exactly an angel.
What did he die actually die off by the way?
Dude he had zero criminal record according to US official census seriously NOW !
@AlphaGhost well there's shit on the internet that claims the opposite. I don't know how to tell apart the bullshit news from the truth in this case.
@AlphaGhost I'm not simply going with someone's narrative cause it sounds good.
Dude only news channel have covered it (nypost) and its also branding everyone that is protesting as terrorist and enemies of state with US military requested to use full force like AIR-STRIKES and full invasions style war against them.
Its the only news channel with only single report against him from gov funded news outlet and same GOV THAT LIED ABOUT AUTOPSY REPORT,
2nd AUTOPSY IS DONE BY FAR MORE SENIOR, EXPERIENCED, EDUCATED AND RESPECTED worldwide PATHOLOGIST have surfaced/released, He officially performed post mortum on Floyd family request.
He proved Medically to entire world that he died of Asphyxiation... Dude they EVEN LIED ABOUT IT... Floyd died of unable to breathe and he provided undeniable medical evidence which entire world can visualise and I am medical student so I can fucking understand it Dude.
The Right-Extremist/Terrorist organisation is spreading false information and I would consider it when Mayor of country come on live television to say that he had criminal past... its hoax dude and WE ARE NOT TERRORIST and I can very easily afford things being looted right now.
Mayor of county and FUCK racism... the very idea you are denying that is indication of amount of craziness in US right now with people waving confederate flags.
I think George Floyd death is what prompted the protest, but they aren’t just for him. They are for any POC that has been unjustifiably killed by a member of law enforcement.
Why don't their life's matter enough for y'all to vote and create and change laws in your area. How does black lives matter destroying business where black people own and employed.
They arrested both of murdered of these men
