Are well intentioned marchers being manipulated over the sad George Floyd occurrence?
After reading a Citizen Tom blog about the police camera videos taken during the arrest which a judge suppressed somehow “was leaked to a foreign newspaper.”.
The George Floyd’s death has resulted in violent protests against the police about societal judgements of police brutality of what went wrong during an arrest of a drug addict.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to relate an ancient proverb to hopefully help promote understanding to this sad occurrence to focus on the underlying issue of drug addiction awareness. In other words, once a person becomes a drug addict, they can be manipulated same a puppet master manipulates strings of his puppet slaves.
Selected Word Definitions (Google)
Manipulated – control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly, unfairly, or unscrupulously.
“the masses were deceived and manipulated by a tiny group”
Puppet Masters – a person, group, or country that covertly controls another.
“the puppet master behind the current administration”
King Solomon
When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes. (Proverb 20:8)
What’s My Point?
We need to winnow our eyes to set aside the issue of anger to judge the police handling of the arrest, and focus on the underlying issue of how drug addicts can become manipulated same as helpless puppets to their puppet masters drug sellers.
My point is, if the same violent reaction of angry marchers to judge the drug sellers, perhaps the George Floyd police occurrences may never have happened in the first place.
In My Opinion
The reasons why we have never won the war against drugs is because some “tiny group” is profiting on selling drugs in the USA.
Why the USA never closed the borders, or used the military against the drug sellers is something I never understand.
The other issue is why most people are being manipulated by in a similar way as government puppet masters who refuse to make a needed social awareness to educate citizenry what every doctor who treats drug addicts knows?
That once a person becomes a drug addict, the recidivism rates of him or her ever becoming freed from their puppet master is very high. For example, if they become a heroin drug addict, there is only a 10 percent chance of them ever stop using heroin for the rest of their lives.
In other words, a puppet master is another form of a slave master, and a slave has only one master in their lives.
Sadly, the same government by passing laws to promote the sale of legalized recreational drugs is now profiting from the sale of addictive life threating drugs.
While at the same time, the underlying causes of most of the shooting violence in Chicago is drug sales territories.

You Decide
Should we judge legislators running for election in 2020 for their wisdom and understanding of the underlying issues of the George Floyd occurrence in the 2020 election?
Should you judge how past legislators handled the flow of drugs into our Nation by refusing to seal the borders and are now manipulating marchers same as puppet masters to win the 2020 election by remaining silent on the underlying issue of the sad Georg Floyd occurrence?
Should we winnow our eyes about the underlying reasons for the George Floyd occurrence same as the above King Solomon wisdom verse?

I think George Floyd should still be alive but I don’t think the whole story is in yet. The “secret videos” released are troubling. When will we learn that when a police officer asks you to do something, just do it.
Blessings.

Thanks for your comment and interest to help me expand my opinions on this subject.

True, but most people who never have been confronted to control the behavior of hard-core drug addicts are not aware that drug addicts and police both have human fears.
The drug addict is a slave to his addiction and greatest fear is if arrested, he will have to again suffer the withdrawal effects in a prison cell. In other words, a drug addict considers a policeman same as his enemy in a war for his addiction.
The police fear is they never know how a drug addict will do because their brains are scrambled and whether or not he has a weapon that every police man now fears can kill him.
What is needed now to reduce the fears, in my opinion, is to have two fronts in the war on drugs now that millions of drug addicts fears which may drive them in their addiction to do engage in criminal acts to pay for their addiction is to reduce their fear of an arrest resulting in their having to experience cold case withdrawal again.
An ancient King Solomon proverb gives a hint what is needed how to treat an enemy during a war.
. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. (Proverb 25:21)
In other word, if the addict knows after being arrested his addiction will still be fed drugs, his fears to resist arrest will be reduced. Hopefully, during incarceration, an avenue would be opened with medical help to free him from his slavery.
The second front in the war of drugs is the same ancient war tactic of reducing supplies to the enemy which is close the access of drugs to the drug markets.
Why these two ancient war tactics have never be used in our contemporary times during the long war on drugs initiated during the Nixon era in the war on drugs in the USA s beyond my comprehension.
And as in every war in history has attested, once the war is won, the soldiers (policeman) are no longer needed, which is what the marchers seem to want, but are focusing in the wrong enemies, in my opinion.
In other words, instead of pulling the strings on the real enemies, the drug suppliers puppet masters and helping to free heir drug addicted slaves, they are pulling the strings on the police.
As you suggested, “just do it”, except so it in the right direction is what needs to be done, same as was done in every war in history, in my opinion.

The use and inherent dependence on mind-altering substances is a symptom of a spiritual malady. The solution is a spiritual one. Sadly The State will never acknowledge this even with ages-old evidence-That is my experience and it seems our “representatives” turn a blind eye and shovel money in the direction of players in the game, The puppets and law enforcement are pawns in the game. Somehow the profit from distributing drugs needs to be eliminated-but too many are profiting from the war on drugs itself too

“Sadly, The State will never acknowledge this even with ages-old evidence-That is my experience and it seems our “representatives” turn a blind eye and shovel money in the direction of players in the game,”
Your comment focuses on another fear in play. The other group of puppet masters and another aspect of their control of these other puppets, the State Representatives in government being controlled by drug sellers sharing the profits in the form of campaign funds or under the table envelopes.
In other words, drug profits are likely being used to influence State representatives to turn a “blind eye” toward the puppet masters.
What other reason could it be to declare a war on drugs, and not engage in the same war tactics recorded in history to win a war?
The only other reason as you suggested is lack of wisdom, both practical and spiritual, in my opinion.
Both the marchers and voters need to wise up and understand they are being controlled by the “tiny group” pulling their strings in the direction of the wrong enemies, in my opinion.
Regard and good will blogging.

Well, jeepers… it’s all about that old capitalistic concept of supply & demand. Just making drugs illegal to control addiction, doesn’t curtail the demand one bit. It forces a black market to meet the demand. Simple . Now you explore.. why the demand? Well, short of doctors prescribing prescribing addictive pain killers willy-nilly to a whining public, there’s a direct link between using addictive drugs and mental health issues. Again, my same old lament… we need a national mental health program of the likes of NASA in its scope.

Doug,

I agree and have written post in the past that we need to change our tactics how to now handle the millions of drug addicts in the USA.
All the result of another group of puppets on strings, the voters in the USA, in my opinion.
