“It’s been five years since the George Floyd/BLM protests and riots. Therefore, the leftwing legacy media seizes upon this occasion to pull out its race-colored thermometer to measure America’s post George Floyd ‘racial progress.’ A recent New York Times headline read, ‘Five Years After Floyd — We look at what has changed since George Floyd’s murder.’ According to the Times, not much: ‘States and cities enacted new policies aimed at improving policing, but the data suggests that these changes have had little impact on accountability or the number of killings by police officers.’ Another Times article wrote: ‘Sunday is the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer, a searing moment of brutality that ignited what may have been the largest social movement in U.S. history. Five years later, the movement that his death helped begin may feel like it’s in reverse.'” (06/05/25)
