She was peaceful. The demonstration was peaceful. Police still fractured her skull.

The police and National Guard should assume that all of their actions when engaged with the public will be recorded on video by somebody and that they should act accordingly!

George Floyd marked the "tipping point" whereby public opinion was no longer willing to give those in authority the benefit of the doubt - a few "bad apples" abusing their positions have effectively frittered that privilege away!

Any first step to reform must start with thorough background checks. The cop who killed George Floyd had a history of brutality. Cops get fired every day and some of the bad ones end up crossing a state or county line and finding another job. It’s akin to the pedophile and pedorast priests who were just sent to another parish.

We do not have access to his file but here is what has been released about him.
Chauvin became a Minneapolis police officer in 2001 and the lone reprimand in his file involved a 2007 incident when he was accused of pulling a woman out of her car after stopping her for going 10 mph (16 kph) over the speed limit. Investigators found it was not necessary for Chauvin to remove the woman from the car and noted that his squad car video was turned off during the stop. The files were notable for what they didn’t include. Only one of the 17 complaints against Chauvin was detailed
But Chauvin was also singled out for bravery. Files show he won two medals of valor, one in 2006 for being part of a group of officers who opened fire on a stabbing suspect who pointed a shotgun at them, and another in 2008 for a domestic violence incident in which Chauvin broke down a bathroom door and shot a suspect in the stomach.
He also won medals of commendation in 2008 after he and his partner tackled a fleeing suspect who had a pistol in his hand, and in 2009 for single-handedly apprehending a group of gang members while working as an off-duty security guard at the El Nuevo Rodeo, a Minneapolis nightclub.

Isn't that just a dog whistle meaning Jews?

Hmmm. Where did that come from?

Nazis. Soviets. White nationalists.

Trump's attack echoed a line he used on the campaign trail to disparage adversaries, and sometimes allies, who disagreed with his worldview. On its surface, the word "globalist" seems like a convenient label for those who favor international cooperation over "America first," isolationist policies.

But the idea of globalism (sometimes called cosmopolitanism) has a long association with anti-Semitic movements, and the term "globalist" has often served as a dog-whistle to mean Jewish people.

In Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler referred to Jewish people as "international elements that 'conduct their business everywhere.'" These "global Jews," he said, hurt Germans who were "bounded to their soil, to the Fatherland." The idea that Jews are not loyal to their country has long been used to "otherize" them and undermine their autonomy.

Today, the alt-right, white nationalists and neo-Nazis use the term online to refer to Jews. Protection from the "Globalist elite," explained the Anti-Defamation League, is code for "mostly Jews."

The term was originally developed and spread by "certain extremist circles populated by white nationalists," said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO, in an opinion piece. "It gained currency in recent years as the alt-right used their understanding of technology to spread that term into the mainstream. But make no mistake, where the term originates from is a reference to Jewish people who are seen as having allegiances not to their country of origin, like the United States, but to some global conspiracy."

Perhaps your question was an attempt to stifle free speech?

You have a right to say whatever you want. You don't have a right avoid being called out on it. That's how it works.

Guess you are incorrect:


glob·al·ism
/ˈɡlōbəlizəm/

noun
  1. the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis.

Presently, it's usually a dog whistle for attacks on Jewish Americans.

Is it your intent to characterize “globalism” as only meaning a dog whistle for antisemitism?

Is English your second language? What is it about:

"Presently, it's usually a dog whistle for attacks on Jewish Americans." that you don't understand?

So, excuse my momentary look into the sewer, to see how anti-Semites actually use the term. From Stormfront:

The Two Jewish-led Globalist Camps... In Competition For Global Control

By James Miller, PhD

There are two distinct ideological globalist camps, both led by Jews -- each camp competes with the other for global control:

1) THE LIBERAL CAMP

2) THE NEOCON CAMP (loosely the "Conservative" camp)

First off, it is critical to understand that each ideological camp was created, developed, and fine-tuned by Jewish intellectuals. Without Jewish intellectuals, there wouldn't be a radical liberal school of thought (Communism, Socialism, Trotskyism, and all their supporting submovements/ideas such as feminism, gay rights, political correctness, etc.). Similarly, without Jewish intellectuals, there wouldn't be a Neocon school of thought.

The liberal Jewish camp is primarily led by Trotskyite Jews (or just fairly left leaning Jews) and their Gentile followers. They one day want to see something close to a borderless world or at least a world with weak/unenforced borders (like we see in the European Union today) with a global government based on the United Nations concept (or perhaps even the UN itself). The liberal Jewish camp also includes those who subscribe to Alter-globalism, a less radical leftist approach to globalism (at least when compared to Trotskyism). Anyway, both the Trotskyites & Alter-globalists are the "do-gooders" who naively dream of a John Lennon "Imagine" type world. They feel they can "love their way" to global power (though they can become violent against anyone who opposes their worldview). In the 1960's they were called the "New Left" (e.g., Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Max Horkheimer, Saul Alinsky, etc).

The Neocon Jewish camp (plus their Gentile followers) also want a borderless world but with a global government revolving around a NY-DC-LONDON-JERUSALEM axis. These are the exploitative-type Jews, the Super-Elite, who want 95% of global wealth in their hands and the rest of humanity in a "global plantation" type condition. They feel they can bomb their way to global power. Incidentally, the cold war Gentile warriors (e.g., Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr., etc) and their Jewish globalist handlers (e.g., Henry Kissinger, Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Milton Friedman, etc) fall in this camp.

Globalism refers to various systems with scope beyond the merely international. It is used by political scientists, such as Joseph Nye, to describe "attempts to understand all the interconnections of the modern world—and to highlight patterns that underlie them." Wikipedia

...noting the "guys with the tear gas and rubber bullets" were the local police, charged with maintaining law and order, facing a group of over 1,500 people organized by the domestic terrorist group BLM, which "began throwing plastic water bottles at the police" and "began to become angrier and angrier" (according to Ratlief).

About as likely as the Better Business Bureau being a domestic terrorist group.

That was the idea white supremacists had. They've been infiltrating marches and then trying to start trouble. Problem is, they aren't very careful to hide their tracks.

Even suggesting that the woman in some way deserved what that cop did to her, is truly evil.
