AMERICA FROM THE COLISEUM UPPER TIERS : POLICE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD, AHMAUD ARBERY,

Another brief post to convey the shock, disgust and fear for America after viewing these, and more, police killings of unarmed African-American men.

The victims in the title of this post:  
George Floyd, killed May 25, 2020. Choked to death by police after purchasing cigarettes with an alleged $20 bill. (Minneapolis, MINN);
Breonna Taylor, killed March 13, 2020. Mis-identified and shot sleeping in her bed by an invasive police team (Louisville, KY);
Ahmaud Arbery, killed February 3, 2020. While jogging, routinely along regular route - chased, held and shot by 2 private citizens.

This blogger experienced ‘out-of-body’ shock viewing, reacting then seeing these actions from a third-degree-of-distancing perspective... thinking of the blood, noise, victims’ pleas, the ease of killing, the glazed and rage-filled growls of the killer police and gun carriers... pack animal predators in blood lust.

 More, the impression gained from watching how easily, casually and swiftly can police-citizen encounters escalate - from even friendly exchanges tohootings and death ...of the African-American men.   This is disgusting because we saw too much of police losing control..OF THEMSELVES as they, the armed parties, seemed extensions of and subordinate to,  not masters of their guns. Then seeing police, greatly outnumbering the victim, losing their humanity like a gang of bloodthirsty predators around a fallen (and handcuffed) prey.These pictures and videos were not about humans. We saw our fanged ape ancestors came out of their caves and trees to taste the blood and feast.

It is straight up Bullshit to label gun ownership and hunting as ‘SPORT’... hunting in the 21st century is the Ultimate Pornography - the taking of life. and when taking human life for trivial reasons...that is the one true sin.
