I Don't Get It

I know that I'm going to get hit for this post. I know that people won't be able to help themselves but scream type at me or belittle me for this. People are just like that but I kind of need to talk about this. I don't understand the outrage and anger over George Floyd. I mean I get it but I don't. I understand that he was murdered. I understand that people want justice because the person/people that murdered him were the ones that are supposed to protect us. What I don't get though is acting like justice wasn't served. The cops were fired and tried and convicted. The whole thing went faster than if it was just two normal people involved. Now we have black lives matter in it. Don't all lives matter though? Now we're rioting and looting. Now these rioters and looters are attacking cops. There are people that are supporting the riots and looters because they say that we don't agree when they protest peacefully. I kind of agree with that but the only protest I remember being against is kneeling during the anthem. I didn't care if you raised a fist during it or locked arms but I don't approve the kneeling. Not to mention if you asked some of the people kneeling, they didn't know why they were doing it. It was just the newest thing to do. I have my own views but I tend to stay out of it. That apparently makes me white privilege. That's what I've been told anyway. I don't get that either. A lot of the authors that I follow post things about this and I get it. Then there's the ones that say if you don't understand then you need to educate yourself. I think my views on that phrase is a whole different post lol. See people say that but they don't mean it and some of them get stuck in the past as well. Not all but some. Like I said, I don't get some of what's going on right now. RIP George Floyd, you didn't deserve what happened. *picture from google
