Nobody in power cared about George Floyd's death until the violent protests. As Noam Chomksy once said - See, people with power understand exactly one thing: violence.

> Nobody in power cared about George Floyd's deaths until the violent protest

That is untrue. Well before the executions, arsons, and burglaries, there was essentially no ambiguity in the public perception of the case. Most people who watched the video believed they witnessed a murder, and that charge was already planned for Chauvin, well before the public was aware of riots.

And of course, even if it did work, it would still be wrong, and the people executing people and shooting senior citizens to death to steal televisions should be prosecuted.

I really wish Trump would've sent the FBI into Minneapolis to investigate before the violent protests started.

I'm willing to entertain this possibility, but how can you be so certain that they weren't persuaded by the persistence of the nonviolent elements? baltimore's protests have been remarkably peaceful, and the city leadership has already made some (albeit minor) concessions.

Another analysis would be they're seeing the violence in other cities and want to get out ahead of it.

Nobody is less dead when killed by a person of a different ideology from the nominal ideology of a gathering.

When you push out the police, it's no wonder that people who would like to get away with heinous crimes show up.

The looters and rioters don't care about his death either - they just want to exploit the tragedy to steal and cause harm to their own communities.

Who said the FBI wasn't watching?

It was a trick, because Trump DID send the FBI in on the 2nd day, before the violent protests started. So people in power did pay attention and did care before the violence started.
