Responding to the recent murders of African Americans riots have erupted throughout the United States. The murders by uniformed police in Minneapolis was especially an act of horrific evil.
What is their point? We are told that they are expressions of rage and frustration at continuing racism. They want the killings of black men to stop. So do the rest of us. So do I. So, what can the government officials do? What do the protestors want the government officials to do? This is where proposals, rare as they are, are superficial and vague.
The protestors demand to be heard. Alright. So what are they saying that we do not already know — and even agree with? We know what they’re against; what are they for?
Update: They are for “Defund the Police”. Democratic Party leaders and their supporters in the media and in academia are spinning the slogan to mean something other than the words say.
