Minnesota Police Murder

I doubt the officer had 5.9 million.

The NY tax payers footed that bill.

The officer lost his job but did not do time.

I think that will play out with Mr. Floyd as well.

The officer's wife filed for divorce. That legal action will take place first and then be binding. From there he can be pursued in a wrongful death suit and pretty much have nothing to offer but a judgement. That will in turn be put on the taxpayers pf Minneapolis as well as Minnesota.

John Q. Public taxpayer will cover the original looting/arson, then he will cover the 2nd wave of riots when there is no justice, and then he will cover the wrongful death suit.

And, to be very crude, (and apologetic) six months from now only the family of Mr. Floyd will know the difference between George Floyd and Pink Floyd.

I have been informed I am 'insensitive to the cause' and since I do not 'publicly stand up and protest that means I am a racist, maybe in the closet, but a racist the same'.

I disagree. I am much, much worse than a racist. I am apathetic. I simply have a different set of priorities.

I'm over 50. Every thirty days I work anywhere from 18-22 12 hour shifts.....days, nights, weekends and holidays. I have mortgage and an electric bill due every month, along with a truck payment. I have a 24 year old son who sometimes I think is going on 12. I have a wife who puts in as many hours as I do. Every month I have to buy a couple cases of chicken backs, a case of cow cheek and several bags of dog food which in turn means I have a lot of shit to clean up, even after the 12 hour shift that normally turn into 13-14 hour shifts. I think they call me a working stiff.

I don't believe in abortion as it is a sin. But more importantly I do not believe I have the right, nor does anyone else have the right to cast a vote to tell a woman what she can and/or can not do to her body. Period.

I believe homosexuality is a sin as well. But again I do not have the right to cast a vote, nor does anyone else. to tell someone else how to live their life.

I don't drink anymore. I don't do drugs. But really could give two shits what someone else chooses to do.

I believe racism is wrong and racial injustice has plagued our country and the world since the dawn of time. If I am standing right there at the moment of injustice I will act upon what I think is right. I will do it and I have done it.

With all that babbling, I admit I am apathetic to just about every cause, every hot topic and every pushed button. I am not going to stand up against any cause but I am not going to march in the parade either.

I'm going to pull the night shift, come home to take care of what I can, sleep, get up and do it all over again.

Now when I get my house paid for, my kid raised, the wife pleased and the retirement within reach I may take the time to get on board with the cause, whatever it happens to be at that time.

Regardless of severity I will never see myself breaking windows, stealing merchandise or burning a building for any cause.

And when that person who is using the protest/the cause as a means to loot, steal and burn gets holes knocked in him as someone defends for what is rightfully theirs, again, I will not march in that parade but I doubt I do any mourning as he/she lay on the sidewalk.

I'm much worse. I'm apathetic and apathy is a terrible thing.

Just a rant.
