It’s been 5 years since the overdose death of George Floyd, which came during a violent struggle with police by the career criminal, was exploited to suppress law enforcement and unleash nationwide race riots and a crime wave that, among other devastating effects, killed over 3,000 people.
3,595 black people were murdered in 2019. But in 2020, 5,839 black people were murdered.
That’s an additional 2,244 black people killed.
56% of the murder victims of 2020 were black.
3,060 white and Latino people were killed in 2019, which rose to 4,167 in 2020. The 36% increase is devastating, but the number of black people murdered in 2020 shot up 62%.
3,000 deaths is a whole lot more impressive than a golden coffin and members of Congress kneeling, but Floyd was just an instrument. The radical left now champions Hamas. Next Tuesday, it will be some other means of mobilizing rage to generate violence and its ultimate goal of a political revolution.
The media is running pieces about how the ‘wave of change’ from George Floyd’s death faded away. It hasn’t entirely. Crime rates are improving, but the dead aren’t coming back.
The racist BLM movement killed thousands of people with its pro-crime advocacy. The campaign was funded by powerful foundations and donors. There have been no apologies or retractions. What there really should be are trials.
Democrats have pulled back from some of their more radical proposals to dismantle law enforcement because the public turned against them, but there’s every reason to believe that they’ll embrace them again if the environment appears favorable.
This isn’t over yet. And it may be a long fight before America can breathe again.
Fentanyl man. Had several times the lethal dose in his system.
He swallowed a bag of fentanyl before arrest
But an innocent cop was framed for his murder.

It’s the American equivalent of the Dreyfus Affair.
Blacks hate police and whites. Never going to change. BLM is a terrorist criminal organization that wants to have criminal blacks freed after committing crimes and blames victims and police for arresting them.
Democrats are racist, anti-victim pro criminal and they will back up BLM for this reason. George Floyd was a career criminal who should have been shot and killed instead of arrested. It is a very disturbing time in America when anyone can honor a criminal. Democratic will eventually make day of his death a national holiday.
Blacks are the real racists. They don’t want whites in government or entertainment industry. This is evident in tv commercials which are now 90 percent black due to woke companies and fear of BLM.
Blacks use the race card every time they don’t get their way.
They still consider the days of slavery for all thevinjustice. If you really look at statistics, Blacks have progressed way beyond whites and other races especAsian and Latino.
They will never get over the slavery Era. It will continue as an excuse to commit crimes.
This is the way of the future.
Hit it right on the head! Nicely written!
President Trump and the people in his administration using the bully pulpit will seal the coffin on this evil. Not just talking the rightous need but actions to obliterate the very core of the rot. From the amazing Rubio at State to Pirro as D.C. Att. our laws are being enforced and are working. Daniel is right, it is going to be a long hard slog but Trump is up for it and we must be too.
The communist death democrats bring death and destruction everywhere they go. It is the first commandment of their religion.
Yes Saint Gorge who you what to make a mockery of Memorial Day and have a Saint Gorge do no wrong Floyd national holiday. Even when he was such a nice guy that he stuck a gun into a pregnant mother’s stomach. Not to mention the drug abuser was high when he died and died because of this! If you don’t think so watch and decide yourself The Fall of Minneapolis You Tube video on google . Open you own eyes. You won’t do it though because you would rather complain!
When the payback comes, and it will, 60 million democrats will be exterminated, top down.
FBI – CIA families are at the top of the list.
That’s quite a bold prediction. Marvel Comics melodrama, but bold. I’m thinking that rational people would like to know: What costumed vigilante group will be doing the exterminating?
You’re probably right that it’s an over-the-top prediction but beware; never be fooled by the “it can’t happen here” argument, because it’s a poor argument given the facts of history.
Not “may be” a long fight….absolutely a long fight. Getting Trump in office was the first hurdle…next one is reigning in the out-of-control judiciary, which needs to happen by fall; because fall begins the third RAGING battle to purge RINOs from state and local RNC offices, vetting good candidates who can win in the general election, building a war chest for 2026, signing up conservative friends and neighbors to vote, and on Election Day, calling and offering them a ride to the polls.
The RNC should make term limits their goal…to tell candidates they can run after two terms, but on their own dime, as the RNC will not support candidates after two terms. Since they will effectively have term limits, they will be more likely to vote for term limits for Congress. But make them also sign a contract they have to vote for term limits or reimburse the RNC for all RNC-derived campaign money.
Until Trump keeps his promise and starts ‘draining the swamp’ this will only get worse. Mayorkas, Pelosi, Clinton etc..We all know their names and crimes but nothing seems to be happening which means it will be much worse after their next stolen election.
Floyd committed suicide by ingesting all those drugs to hide them from the cops. Nice to see and article with a headline with the correct description in the headline.
Sad, but true. I’d have hope that Chauvin would have appealed his case to the SCOTUS but sadly that hasn’t happened.
There was no violent struggle.
“You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization – including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility, and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain – without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.” Thomas Sowell
“Legendary economist says Trump’s tariffs could replay ‘devastating history’ April 3, 2025
Criticizing a Trump policy? For those who inhale too much gunpowder, this makes Sowell a liberal.
Gaylord. President Trump is a great guy. You aren’t.
George Floyd was a victim of his self-inflicted addiction to drugs, grifting, and violence. In my opinion too many Black parents confronted with the criminal behavior of their children consistently blame others. The oft hidden hatred they carry against other races becomes the fund-raising platform used to financially benefit themselves while also emboldening violence throughout their communities.
Hope lies within the Black communities reaching a state declaring themselves no longer modern day slaves to the Democratic party. This action of self determination is a necessity since other ethnic groups, especially legal immigrants, place a premium on their children’s education and accomplish it through dedication and hard work.
Too many Blacks continue to act as though they are enslaved when they refuse to use the keys to remove shackles they have willingly continued wearing. You are not enslaved by others, but have become willing participants. How so? Regardless of the previous trials suffered, you only change your future by hard work. Being wards to state and federal welfare, seeking easy money by trading in drugs and people leaves you continually in the dark. Democrats know only too well how easily Black communities, ignorant of their history, are manipulated. The Black community needs real men who are committed to their children in word and deed. Black women need serious education in child development so that they are prepared when raising boys to men. None of this can be changed for these communities; they either pull themselves up using all the opportunities available or they continue wallowing in self pity and remain self enslaved in the quicksand of the Democrats who will continue exploiting them so long they allow; a prime example Black Lives Matter, a communist driven group whose donated monies served no one within poor Black communities but purchased several mansions for its Black founders.
Blacks have long been strong, family oriented and maintained both their faith and families through their fundamental moral, Christian values. As the secular, moral morass has been used to capture too many Blacks into secularism, their once vibrant culture has been wasting away.
Time to sit in pews again instead of attending vulgar, misogynist rap concerts and staying high on fentanyl and other life-defeating drugs.
What a thoughtful, well written reply. You grasp the facts and lay them out in black and white for all to see. I hope we share a cup of coffee sometime so I can hear more of your pearls of wisdom. I am an old Marine Corps veteran who appreciates you speaking out.
George Floyd killed hundreds of people, burned down several cities, looted thousands of businesses, and unleashed a plague of lawlessness that didn’t stop until President Trump was re-elected. George Floyd is burning in hell at this moment for his horrific crimes and he will take a lot of BurnLootMuder and Antifa freaks with him. .
Remember that within an hour, Governor Tim Walz declared this was a murder, and facilitated the burning of much of Minneapolis and a police precinct. Somehow, Walz was re-elected and is now a national leader of the Dims. They have already declared payback for Trump policies when they take over again.
I’m not disputing these death statistics, not at all. But I’m pretty curious how they were determined, given what we already know about the games being played with cause-of-death statistics in 2020.
crime reporting statistics are skewed due to da’s not filing/ prosecuting, Pointing out crime is down is a bit misleading imo, crime is probably still elevated just less arrests and prosecution.
And people continue to overlook the real enemy of the country and that is the media-I’m glad Trump is not taking any guff from them
I’ve spent 36 yrs in crim justice. Last Fri we warranted an illegal w/2 prior felony DWIs plus vehic assault and failure to appear in court. No bail. RORd. In NYS justice is just street art
The response to Floyd was like seeing if suspected witches would drown
Violent struggle? What violent struggle? The only violence was the violence visited upon George Floyd by Police Officer Derek Chauvin. After being ‘accused’ of passing a counterfeit $20 in the convenience store the responding officers decided to become Judge, Jury and Executioner.
Let us take a look at the originating call bringing the officers into the picture. They were called about a counterfeit $20 bill. Whether George Floyd purposefully gave the clerk the bill or not doesn’t matter. The clerk had accepted the bill and allowed George Floyd to leave the store only to confront him a few minutes later about it. There is absolutely no proof that bill was given to the clerk by George Floyd. He should have been confronted about it at the register and the transaction canceled. It is a shame the riots happened, but not a surprise. When the Citizenry is abused by the system with no recourse, what do you expect? We are free individuals with express rights and to have Officers of the Law treat a Citizen in such a manner is not just appalling but also downright criminal and should scare you to death! In a personal note, I was given a counterfeit $10 bill from a Home Depot and gave it to the bridge toll taker who let me know it was counterfeit. No police were called, noone was killed or injured over it. No Riots!!
So NO! In my opinion Former Officer Derek Chauvin should NOT be released early by pardon nor parole. He was a police officer for a long time, highly trained, decorated. He should have known better. Even saying that we all have bad days would not cut it. Police officers are given great responsibility, training, weapons and a Brotherhood and Derek Chauvin chose to not treat George Floyd as a human being but as a show of authority and which caused the ensuing riots and cost a lot of people their lives and and extensive damage to businesses and homes. Was George Floyd a Good Guy? Maybe, maybe not, but it was Not Former Officer Chauvin’s responsibility to kill him. His only responsibility was to apprehend the suspect in the great Money Laundering Caper and get him safely to jail, if there was even reason to take him to jail. In this, Former Police Officer Derek Chauvin and the three other officers were negligent in their duties to say the least and I am personally grateful they were removed from the duties that they showed to be woefully inadequate at.
Mark Werner’s comment is ridiculous.
Floyd passed a counterfeit bill, so the Cup Foods employees called the cops on him. Then Floyd resisted arrest, attempted by four officer working together. They gave up and let him lie on the pavement.
Floyd was already complaining “I can’t breathe” while standing up, after he’d been detained. His lungs were full of fluid, because of the fentanyl he’d ingested.
True, the country wouldn’t have gone through a convulsion if the store’s employees had shrugged their shoulders over the bogus $20 or if the cops had declined to intervene. But the employees acted, and the cops responded with normal procedures.
The country’s convulsion was largely powered by preposterous claims about ‘cops killing unarmed black males.’ Many, especially on the Left, are convinced that this amounts to a 1,000 per year. In recent decades, it’s actually about a dozen per year, and many of those supposedly “unarmed” really weren’t. Meanwhile blacks are killing other blacks at the rate of about 7,000/year.
Floyd was a dead man walking. The cops (and then the larger society) are the victims.
The treatment of Chauvin is an American equivalent to France’s Dreyfus Affair.
