An 8-minute police-body-cam video of the George Floyd arrest reveals he was incoherent and continuously resisted arrest. His autopsy showed he had three-times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, which would have killed him of a heart attack even if he had not been arrested.

The George Floyd saga has developed a potentially dangerous new turn. This past weekend, the city of Louisville, Kentucky avoided a potentially deadly armed clash, as two opposing and heavily armed militia groups came within dozens of yards of each other after the latest politically-charged Black Lives Matter demonstration.

Since the recent social and political upheaval sparked the death of George Floyd, few American political and media commentators have dared to challenge the socio-political narrative put forward by the vanguard leftwing activist organization known as Black Lives Matter. What is their actual position on the issue of race relations in America and how valid are their demands for ‘social justice’?

A disturbing photograph surfaced on the internet that depicted BLM supporter, Isaiah Jackson, kneeling on a baby in a photo (that mimicked the knee hold on George Floyd).

It could be that the ongoing gratuitous murders by police across America are not mistakes but part of a program of terror and fear to control, to maintain unjust apportionment of power, resources, money, in the hands of a few. As the need rises, more people of color are cut in to positions of power to control others. But as the presidency of Barrack Obama suggests, buying off minorities with models of success is not a solution.

“My beef with the black left is that they want to keep the focus on what government or Washington or politicians or whites in general can do for blacks – instead of what blacks can do for themselves,” says Jason Riley, author of Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make it Harder for Blacks to Succeed.
