Thanks for posting this video. I hope she stays safe.
And shame on the media for not reporting ALL the facts. Once again.
Follow Ups:
The right loves to put a spotlight on black conservatives. Extra bonus points if it's a black woman conservative. For Republicans, that's like finding the Holy Grail.
You guys are trotting her out like some kind of cardboard cutout to stand next to and say "See, we're not racist. Really, we're not. We have black people on our side too."
If the same words were spoken by a white man, it would be just another opinion with no more weight than any other. You wouldn't have bothered to post it. And that's how her opinion should be treated, colorblind.
What this really boils down to is a conflict between three prevailing points of view:
1. George Floyd was a criminal, so he deserved it. The right is too chicken shit to say that directly. Instead, they've decided to highlight every bit of adverse information about the guy they can find, and hope the point comes across while retaining deniability.
2. George Floyd was a martyr/hero. I won't say gentle giant because that's one of my favorite prog rock bands. For the same reason as the right wants to tear the guy down, the left wants to prop him up.
I think both of the above viewpoints are dragging the discussion away from the facts. To me, the only reasonable viewpoint is the third:
3. It doesn't matter who he was or what he did. What matters is that a cop killed him unnecessarily and (from the looks of it) intentionally. This point of view requires people to separate the criminality of killing someone from the life story of the person who was killed, which seems to be intellectually too challenging for a large percentage of the population.
"The right loves to put a spotlight on black conservatives."The left loves to put a spotlight on black liberals. Donna Brasile, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, et al.
"George Floyd was a criminal, so he deserved it. The right is too chicken shit to say that directly."
Now you're just making stuff up, based on your own political attitudes. If, as you say, the Right hasn't said it, why do you imagine it and bring it up?
"It doesn't matter who he was or what he did. What matters is that a cop killed him unnecessarily and (from the looks of it) intentionally."
Now you're making some sense. I'll say that I doubt he intentionally killed the dirt bag. After all, he would know that his own career would be over, and that he'd spend a considerable amount of time in prison.

'"The right loves to put a spotlight on black conservatives."'
here, Dave is pointing out that black conservatives are so rare they're used as props and often found to be mercenary.
no one on 'the Left' needs to spotlight black liberals because that is where the vast majority dwell [at least] on the sociopolitical spectrum
'Now you're just making stuff up'
no he's not
'Now you're making some sense'
I haven't seen Dave K post anything that didn't so far to date
as for yourself, enjoy the epiphany
be well,

Yep, number 3 it is, the rest is all diversion, divisiveness and BS, hopefully
due to trying to get one's head around the insanity and reality behind number 3.
Probably not though, but we must have hope.
Thanks Dave.

I can't get my head around why some strongly imply that he deserved to die. My inference is that if they came out and said it, they'd expose their racism. They think implying it gives them plausible deniability.
Wow, that never even crossed my mind that he deserved to die. If you are are inferring such a thing, it is on YOUR mind.
But others here have implied such.

if I may ... denial of due process is both unconstitutional & taxation without representation; which is wholly Unamerican
what happened there and elsewhere / 'elsewhen' exposes systemic racism
it is difficult to impossible for those that are pro-authoritarian, racist, or in denial of those proclivities to comprehend the rage this engenders, or the sympathy from those who are not
