so many comments worth posting - and the following just a random grab..
Look at the faces of those rioting. They are of every race, religion, and creed. What they all have in common is they are of the demographic most impacted by the current economic recession. Job losses, income destruction, financial pressures, and debt create tension in the system until it explodes.
the death of mr floyd was just a symptom of a disease .. nothing more than a trigger point in the way that he died.
someone , somewhere posted a video link in relation to the life of mr floyd .. the guy was not remotely a "fine , upright member of society " - he was actually a low life - the type of person that watso would only be too happy to see eradicated ..
mr floyd should not be treated as a martyr - he was just a bit of low life scum
about two weeks ago on a pre-dawn stroll - watso was the first person at an accident (the vehicle had hit a tree - so only one car) .. the driver was not in the best of condition - but lucky. nothing remotely life threatening
anyway there is a thug that lives around the corner, and it crossed watso's mind - that if it was the thug in the car - and his life was in danger - then watso would have looked - and walked past
