Saturday marked four years since George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. While the tragic incident sparked riots and destruction across the nation, it is important to remember that violence is never the answer to addressing systemic issues. It is unfortunate that individuals took advantage of a tragic event to cause chaos and harm to communities, resulting in billions of dollars in damages and loss of lives.

Joe Biden's Ominous Call to Action on 4th Anniversary of George Floyd's Death: 'Let's Act in His Memory' https://t.co/3iG0XE6rkc— Andrew Malcolm (@AHMalcolm) May 26, 2024
It is concerning that President Biden’s recent tweet seemed to hint at reigniting the violence that unfolded after Floyd’s death. As conservatives, it is important to call out any rhetoric that incites further unrest and division in our country. Instead of promoting healing and unity, it is crucial for our leaders to emphasize peaceful and constructive ways to address social injustices.
The media’s biased coverage is also worth noting, as they have often portrayed conservative figures in a negative light while giving liberal leaders a pass. The double standard in reporting on political statements further deepens the divide among Americans. It is essential to hold all elected officials accountable for their words and actions, regardless of their party affiliation.
It is disappointing that the focus on George Floyd’s legacy overlooks the innocent lives lost during the riots that ensued. Every victim of violence deserves to be remembered and honored, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their death. By glorifying individuals with criminal backgrounds, the left undermines the rule of law and disrespects the memories of law-abiding citizens who have been unjustly harmed.
As we reflect on the events following George Floyd’s death, let us strive for a society where justice is served through peaceful means and where all individuals are valued and respected. It is through upholding law and order that we can truly honor the memories of those who have been wronged.
