the perpetrators of his murder prosecuted (not just hidden out of the way for a while until people forget about it)

The incident occurred on May 25.

The perpetrators were fired (not just suspended, fired) from the Minneapolis PD on May 26.

The main perpetrator (the one who kept his knee on the man's neck) was arrested on May 29 and charged with third degree murder and second degree manslaughter that same day.

Seems to me like the system's actually working in this case.

That's great SS, I hadn't realised that.  However, "fired", going by what I've been reading has happened in the past with police in situations like this, is that "fired" means "taken out of circulation for a while until the problem blows over" or "there is nothing to stop you from being hired by another police department".

This did nothing to stop these riots from happening, or to deal with stopping the rioters or holding them accountable.  Another question I have is:  Why is "the trigger" being attributed to the death of George Floyd, there have been numerous cases of murder by police recently.  Why were there not riots throughout the country after the LaVoy Finicum case?  This was every bit as horrendous as the George Floyd incident and there was also video to show what happened so the facts could not be in dispute.  Also there have been lots of other cases just as horrific as the latest one.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police spokesman. ...70% of those arrested in race riots in that city this week were not locals.  "This is not Charlotte that's out here," he said. "These are outside entities that are coming in and causing these problems. These are not protestors, these are criminals... They were coming in on buses from out of state.

Simply a continuation of the program they have been running for decades. While Soros writes the checks for violent rioters, pallets of bricks and so on, those who would rule their socialist dream world are still trying to turn the USofA into Somalia by whatever means they can muster. There is nothing spontaneous or grass roots involved.

I have been reading about this for a few days now.  This is all attributed to the death of George Floyd, and although that incident is awful and desperately needs to be looked into further and the perpetrators of his murder prosecuted (not just hidden out of the way for a while until people forget about it), this is obviously not the case.  No justice is going to be provided for George Floyd by "protestors" looting shops, burning cars and a homeless man's mattress, destroying a black man's business, nearly beating a man to death or slashing a policeman's throat.

I can see how the PTB don't want to "fan the flames" but this must not be used as an excuse for letting these "terrorists" get away with deliberate destruction of property and threatening people (among many other things) and then allowing CNN to "talk them up" and call them "protestors".  What I simply don't understand is how, as there is "tons of" video footage of this looting, burning, destroying and attacking people, nobody has been identified and arrested.

What is your theory?

That is the  plan all right. Consequences are still unknown.

One of my more popular blog posts was the one titled "crushing Mom’n’Pop"

Some call it “unintended consequences”, but the evidence points to a deliberate plan with a built in “Oh gee we didn’t think of that” excuse.

They closed small businesses. These people typically plow most of their money right back into their businesses. Reserves are a very rare luxury in the self-employed world.

Then big government sends a token payment … too little, too late. Business bills keep on rolling in. Commercial real estate is very expensive. Supply chains must be kept alive. Most importantly, the human assets must be fed.

Mom’n’Pop have their personal expenses as do their trained, experienced staffs. Unemployment support is for the workers who are out of work. The self-employed and employers themselves do not qualify.

The BIG BOYS have pulled the trigger on The New World Order. We can watch the show, resist as much as possible, or just tumble in the tide, but a sea change is upon us.

transported my first 'COVID-19'-positive pt today - normally I wouldn't have done it but it was for a hospice company we've dealt with for years

according to family, she tested negative 4 times and then voila! the fifth time came back positive (10 days ago) - when I picked up at hospital to go home she wasn't hacking or coughing or showing any signs of coronavirus distress

note:  don't use those suffocating 3M N95 masks* unless you absolutely have to - you can get headaches, dizziness and pass out from hypoxia (lack of O₂) - the nurses use them as little as possible - for my pt they had to spend about 15 minutes getting her ready and that was enough for them


someone beat me to it ['medical-grade' - apparently the surgical masks we sometimes use don't filter out dinky viruses either]:
