Two Years Later, the George Floyd Cases Are a Dark Chapter in the History of Due Process

This week marked two years since the death of George Floyd while he was in the custody of Minneapolis police after violently resisting a lawful arrest. If we have learned anything in that time, it is that the due process of law cannot compete with racial-justice theater and the climate of intimidation it promotes.

Though it should go without saying, our stupid times require otherwise. So I’ll say it: No one is claiming that police officers should not have been held accountable for Floyd’s death, but if accountability is not within the bounds of the law, it is not accountability but systemic abuse — which is precisely what social-justice warriors pretend to be outraged about.
