Double standards in crime reporting - George Floyd, Rodney King, and the 2025 Cincinnati mob beating
This picture of George Floyd sparked nationwide riots which left dozens dead and caused billions in property damage:
Floyd argued and resisted the cops for about 10 minutes as they tried to put him in the back seat of their car. Here is a screenshot from the bodycam footage:
But the media only publicized the picture with Floyd on the ground. In a similar way, the only video publicized of Rodney King's arrest was when a group of cops were beating him after he led them on a chase and resisted arrest.
Here are screenshots which show a black man body slamming one of the white victims who was also repeatedly stomped on, kicked, and punched while on the ground:
Now a black pastor in Cincinnati is saying the white victims instigated what is clearly a one-sided beatdown.
In the not so good old days, black Americans were sometimes victims of white mob violence when the reverse was extremely rare. Was that cause and effect? I hope not, otherwise it will return.
Duluth Lynchings, 1920 - the victims supposedly raped and robbed a white woman:
Mutilated body of Emmet Till after he was beaten to death by a gang of whites for supposedly harassing a white woman:
The Charleston church shooter wrote he was radicalized into killing blacks by reading reports of black on white crime.
The solution is not to suppress such info. The US is a multiracial and multicultural country, and that is not going to change. People need to judge each other as individuals and resist their tribal instincts.
