Comments by "Kevin Street" (@Kevin_Street) on "Trump Threatens to Deploy Military in Response to Protests: A Closer Look" video.

I miss the old days when A Closer Look could make jokes about magical books and wasps writing segues. What was that, ten years ago? Feels like more. Of course this is no time for running gags. A man was slowly murdered on camera, and that's become a tipping point for both people of color and anyone who believes in justice. Somehow all the despair and rage caused by Corona has combined with the festering rage caused by systemic racism and it's just too much for people to bear any longer. They have a right to be angry. Trump doesn't get that, and never will. According to an article I read in Vanity Fair he does understand that all of the cops involved in George Floyd's death should be charged with murder - but any flickers of awareness were quickly extinguished after he talked with Putin on the phone. (Yes, Putin again.) Now Trump is in full "show strength" dominate mode, and he thinks his Rose Garden speech will actually help him with suburban voters. All he really cares about is looking tough and winning the next election, and if anybody stands between him and his goal he'll have them tear gassed.
