The protests

I have no problem with peaceful protests. There was actually a march in my neighborhood last night. But nothing happened here, so it's all good.

That's the way it should be of course. Once you start throwing rocks at the police, once you start burning things, once you start denying other innocent people their rights, you've crossed a line. That must not be tolerated. Especially if there's outside interests involved, as Detroit Police Chief James Craig reported: there were agitators from outside the city brought in and causing trouble downtown. That has nothing to do with George Floyd. It is an agenda unto itself.

The murder of George Floyd was reprehensible. Yet it does not justify violence. If you start killing people yourself, you're as bad as every other murderer. Period.
