Christianity and Wokeness: How the Social Justice Movement Is Hijacking the Gospel - and the Way to Stop It

by Owen Strachan

In Floyd’s case, fentanyl was at the least affecting him physically even before a Minneapolis police officer knelt on him to subdue him.51 I concur with what Voddie Baucham Jr. said in his overview of this sad story: “The George Floyd case was indeed tragic. However, it was not unique. Nor does it represent clear evidence of a particular pattern of police brutality regarding black men.”52 In Blake’s case, police officers first tried to subdue him by brute strength, then used tasers on him, and then—as he went for a knife in his car—shot him multiple times.53 In Taylor’s case, police fired into the apartment where Taylor slept only after being fired upon.54 There is more to each case than what I have covered, yet even these details show that the popular narrative around each of these shootings was more complicated than it initially seemed.

Owen misses the point here.
