George Floydd.....Charlie Kirk...

Stop and notice the difference.
GF, a violent criminal and drug addict, was hailed a hero. His death caused riots, destruction and other violence.
CK, a political activist, family man, God fearing Christian, caused no deaths, crimes, or violence, but was killed for his opinions.
What's wrong with this picture and who is responsible?

No. He was grieved for being lost in a completely preventable death.

The police don't have the luxury of judging you based upon past transgressions; they are supposed to "serve and protect" the ENTIRE public. Even persons who are currently suspects are to be afforded due process. The use of appropriate levels of force is part of respecting his primary "inalienable right", his Life.

His death mostly caused peaceful protests.

You might diversify your news sources, or even listen to ppl here who live in places that the fringe Right loves to claim were "burned to the ground" but were not.

3)
CK, a...God fearing Christian

When did Jesus command His followers to be racists? When did Jesus command His followers to choose gun rights over the deaths of innocent people?

Jesus spoke of the Parable of the Good Samaritan--helping anyone who crosses your path and whom you CAN help.

4)
CK...caused no deaths, crimes, or violence

His rhetoric has made targeted researchers' lives living Hells.

Where did Jesus say to espouse hate?

What's wrong is that two people both lost their lives unnecessarily.

The police were responsible in the GF case; it seems they know the sole shooter in the CK case.

The methods were
murdering GF by maliciously placing body weight on his neck so as to choke him to death;
murdering CK by shooting him in a planned assassination.

I am unsure of the motives of the killers in these events, as I cannot see into their hearts and souls. However, their actions speak for themselves.
