Brooks: You Can’t Say Floyd Protesters Can Protest, But Trump Can’t Have Rallies

It's obvious that the political Left both encouraged protestors and rioters and utterly ignored THEIR previous sacred and holy Covid-19 panic-porn generated standards for social distancing with which they had previously demanded all citizens abide by upon pain of fines and jail time.

But the moment that the Dem Party wanted to include other issues besides just George Floyd in regards to their political campaigning and the moment that Trump himself returned to the campaign trail, the DNC and their politically loyal media outlets immediately rediscovered the horrors of Covid-19 and the NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED for social distancing again. Nobody, howerver, was supposed to note the cynical political nature of the Dem Party's rediscovery of the Kung-flu.

FINALLY at least one famous conservative journalist dares to speak the truth to the public in this regard. David Brooks pointed out the political Left's double standard. It's no big deal from the perspective that what the Dem Party and their politically allied media outlets were doing all along was obvious; but it is a big deal that finally a respected conservative admits the obvious. This is one reason that even conservative journalists don't always get that much respect from conservatives.

It shouldn't take two freaking weeks for one of these big names to finally discover where they stored their spine and speak the truth about things to the collective political Left. Also note, that even though he finally spoke up, he also definitely weasel-worded it.

New York Times columnist David Brooks stated, “Well, I sort of have some sympathy for that. I figure, if we’re going to have the George Floyd protests, which I think we should have had, you can’t say to one group of people, you can protest, but, to another, you can’t, obviously, once that precedent was set.”

====================================

 

100% agree. The protest and then the riots killed the C19 gathering restrictions. Cats out of the bag.

 

More of the democrats double standards and hypocrisy

 

They can both be stupid. It's just that one is President.

 

The double standard is now on full display. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

 

Except the left is extremely vocal about Trump yet just I just hear crickets about the protest and riots. If I recall a number of prominent liberal politicians endorsed and even joined them in fact.

 

But only one is President.

 

What on Earth does that matter?

The left hypocritically calls one out and by their silence on the other they condone it and that is the defense? Weak.

 

So only one matters? The others have no power what so ever?

 

I'm sorry. I expect the President to be smart enough to know better. Or short of that to have people around him to educate him.

 

I fail to see how anybody can equate support for the struggle of people who fight for respect of their civil rights which have been denied for centuries to a political rally.

 

What civil rights do blacks not have that you or I do?

Hint: They have all the same rights that you and I have.

In any case, having a political rally is just as much a Right as protesting. In fact it falls under the SAME Right.

 

Why is it that ONLY the left condones it? Taking risks because you have the opportunity to make a change in civil rights abuses that have been going on for decades should be bi-partisan. I would expect only KKK sympathizers and white supremacists to not "condone" it. But I do not expect the mass of right-wingers to do that.

I do expect them to understand that taking such risks to attend a political rally is beyond idiotic.

 

The right to not be dis proportionally killed by cops

Aren't you paying attention to what's going on?

Or do you just deny reality?

Nobody has denied that right. So your excuse doesn't work.

 

It has nothing to do with rights and everything to do with hate Trump and the election. The democrats always find away to use the race card for every election

 

Why does it only happen where the democrats ate in control?

 

1004 people were shot by cops in 2019. Majority of which were cops killing whites. And while yes black people on a per capita basis was shot more by cops than whites, blacks also commit a disproportionate amount of the crime in the US. And just so there's no equivocation that is in murders. So naturally blacks are going to be shot more on a per capita basis than any other race. Because they commit a disproportionate amount of the crime which means they are going to be interacting with police more often and police are going to be interacting with them more often. Breaking it down further there were 41 unarmed people shot by police in 2019. If you break it down even further to unjustified killings by police and the number is 2. One of which is of a cop killing a white person an the other was of a black person. Both times the cops involved were prosecuted.

Mind you this is in light of the fact that there are literally over a million interactions by civilians with police every single year. That includes every single race.

I really do not see the need for national protests, much less rioting and burning and looting and taking over whole city blocks.

Even IF you went by JUST the numbers of people shot by police with absolutely no context giving to why those people were shot I see no reason for the protests considering that is only 1004 shootings out of millions of police/civilian interactions. That is just .001004 shootings at the minimum. Certainly nothing to get worked up over.

That is the reality.

And yet Dems are hollering about one, and not the other. Wanting one to happen, while wanting the other to be shut down.

 

Ah! Of course! The extreme right talking point that boils down to: "black people aren't capable of understanding on their own when their civil rights are violated. So the only explanation is that they're being coached by white democrats."

Straight out of Rush's, Hannity's, Alex Jones', ... and the whole right-wing echo chamber's talking point playbook.

 

The democrats are in control???

Wow! Looks like I'm running late in writing my congratulatory letter to President Hillary! And tell her how much I agree with her for appointing Justice Merrick Garland.

 

First, it's universally acknowledged by the DNC and their liberal media outlets that calling Floyd protestors and Floyd looters stupid is -- somehow -- racist. So . . . tsk . . . tsk. But since it's apparently now a DNC sanctioned item to call them stupid, let's just go with that. Second, it's okay for the political Left to let their 'stupid' people put their lives at risk without blasting their own leftist loyal airwaves and internet sites with condemnation aimed at those 'stupid, STUPID' people? Asking for a friend.

 

It’s not a double standard. The only thing being exposed are the whines of faux victims playing their wussy card, again.

 

Do they also have the obligation to not disproportionately commit crimes that cause their arrest?
Research that and get back to us.

 

Both are political free speech and protected equally under our constitution.

 

Well yes, obviously. But then again being "faux victims playing their wussy card, again" is what the Dem Party leadership and their radical political Left activists have done since the beginning of the Floyd event and also in regards to Covid-19, and so it's nothing new.

 

No. You mean that blacks are arrested disproportionately more than whites. And that's what the protests are about. In many parts of the country, cops just assume that blacks are criminals. Whites are not. Obviously, if you arrest more of one group than the other, you end up with more convictions of that group.

This has been shown in studies. But I have never felt in danger when stopped by a cop. Black people do feel in danger. And they have the right to NOT feel in danger.

Because you're not paying attention. Racism in many police precincts is well documented and has been proven very often. Not in the majority, mind you, but often enough for a sector of the population to feel threatened. And they have all the right to protest so this can change.

Not by somebody who is not in danger of being in that statistic, that's for sure.

Yes! They are protesting because that's reality. Compare that to protests against Obamacare because stupid protesters were convince by millions of dollars spent on TV propaganda about "death panels" and because "government was going to take over medicare and remove benefits for old people"

It's good to have protests based on reality for a change.
