That was what I was thinking.
One of the demographics with the highest rate of Covid fatalities (outside of seniors) is out protesting in a country where rates are still rising.
This isn't going to end well.
That cops actions could basically be the catalyst to covid19s 2nd wave what WWI Victory parades were to the Spanish Flus 2nd wave.
It’s incredibly sad that racism is so prevalent in America. There have been multiple instances of these types of cases over the past few years, I hope these police offers see an appropriate punishment for their actions.That cops actions could basically be the catalyst to covid19s 2nd wave what WWI Victory parades were to the Spanish Flus 2nd wave.
2020 is becoming the most important year of the century so far. Between COVID, George Floyd and China/Hong Kong/USA, man...
And it's only May...
The unfortunate thing is that COVID is hanging over all of this, so any activity or event that we would typically classify as monumental or historic has a chance to have COVID outbreaks as an after-effect...

Yup. I fear that March/April are going to seem like the good old days in a month or so for our friends down south.
There's clearly something poisoning that well. There needs to be a systematic overhaul. Can't understand how mass shooters walk out and African Americans getting kneeled on and choked out for what are probably D felonies?Racism plagues Canada (and the word) as well, however it is definitely on steroids in the US when it comes to some cops treatment of African Americans and racism in the south. All of them should face severe penalties for this incident, part of the issue IMO is an us vs. them mentality, the boys in blue protect their own no matter what. That has to change.
Canada treats blacks much better systemically.There's clearly something poisoning that well. There needs to be a systematic overhaul. Can't understand how mass shooters walk out and African Americans getting kneeled on and choked out for what are probably D felonies?
Racism is a problem here too but if you're racist you're going to feel the wrath of the rest of the country.

Not a chance that is true. There is no country in the world that has only 1-2% racists.Sad part is that 98 to 99% of people in the states are good people who are not racist at all.

Think he just means that when the population as a whole is so huge it only takes a very small percentage of openly racist and hateful people to add up to a very large number.Not a chance that is true. There is no country in the world that has only 1-2% racists.
Personally I don’t think the US is any better or worse than other western democracies when it comes to racism. What I do know for sure is that western democracies are light years ahead of every other place on the planet. Even at that I think 1-2% is not even close to the reality.

Shocking. Hopefully he's not a superspreader.
CNN got attacked, and if not for the police protecting the building, it would have been burned to the ground.The White House is apparently being marched upon.
This is insane stuff.

I think you Albertan’s are doing better, when it cones to wearing masks, than us in the GVRD. Anecdotally, in stores here it’s not even 10% of customers wearing masks. And of those wearing masks, it’s mostly the elderly. The younger people (under 40) don’t appear to wear them at all.Masks being distributed in Early June at McD, Tim Hortons, and A & W Drive thru establishments. Free of charge. Pack of 4/ person per visit. No purchase necessary.
Alberta to distribute 20 million face masks at A&W, McDonald's and Tim Hortons drive-thrus
