The police-involved death of George Floyd last week in Minneapolis demonstrates an abuse of power and a need for a renewed national conversation about America's criminal justice system, Fox News Radio's Trey Gowdy asserted Tuesday. In Wednesday's episode of "The Trey Gowdy Podcast," the former House Oversight Committee chairman said all Americans should be angered by Floyd's death.(Snip) "It was wrong, even if George Floyd had lived. It was a crime, even if he had lived. It was excessive, even if he had lived. But, he did not. He was killed. And, that is murder. It is the unlawful taking of a life.

Give me any example anywhere of a "National Conversation".
Mr. Gowdy, do you know what a platitude is?

The only phrase I hate more than "national conversation" is "social distancing". If everyone behaved with good old fashioned courtesy, we'd be a lot better off.

Gowdy - worthless as a used piece of toilet paper. I remember how he allowed Hildabeast to skate in the congressional hearings - a real wimp for a former prosecutor

I'm with Gowdy, but why is there no coverage of all of the Police excessive force charges brought during the reign of Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobochur?

According to FBI statistics (that's their specialty!) between the years 2007-2018 a total of 610 police officers were feloniously killed in this country.
How about a national conversation on that issue Mr. Gowdy?
In a corollary thought, I wonder who will ever choose police work as a vocation given the kind of support they receive from liberal politicians who are consistently indifferent to the dangers inherent these days in police work? Maybe at $500K/year you might find a few. Time will tell.

It does anger every person of good conscience. What's his point?

I hate to start thinking like an ex-wife, but I wonder if these two had a feud that the cop took to the street. This level of hatred and anger goes far beyond anything I have ever seen and I was coming of age during the Lunch Counter Sit-Ins. I've seen some stuff.

I am totally sick of an done with Gowdy. He's really just there to pretend to be JUST conservative enough to get us to pay attention, but still working for the other side, in reality.

Certain of those key to the "conversation" cannot/will hot handle the truth. One cannot reason with closed minds. It works both ways. It's time some people adopt an American culture and stop with the "It's our thing. You wouldn't understand." Been that way for as long as I can remember...and I'm not young!

Trey Gowdy's beginning to get on my nerves. He used to be the guy I looked forward to seeing for good information, but now he just spouts platitudes. Where is the straight-shooting Trey Gowdy we used to love?
I put him in the category of Lindsey Graham: they can break out some great speeches, but looking at the bottom there seems to be not much accomplishment.

Gowdy, isn't a conversation also needed after the 75-year old man at the Detroit nursing home was severely beaten by a 20 - year old black kid who joyfully beat the guy?

A so-called national conversation is a cop out. When an encounter on the streets between trained police doing their jobs occurs, the outcome of that encounter almost 100% of the time depends upon the attitude and conduct of the person or suspect who is encountered by the police. A person when in contact with the police who is not aggressive towards the police, and does not attempt to resist arrest if it comes to that, is likely to make out a lot better than a person who is aggressive towards the police and who physically attempts to resist arrest. That’s just common sense. The peaceful rioting protesters want police forces abolished in Black inner city communities with all policing being accomplished from now on by unarmed trained community social workers, recruited from within the community, that common sense will tell you would result in the law of the jungle ruling in those “communities”.

Agreed OP, and boy the comments here are right on target. I am so sick of the white guilt brigade telling us that it is always our fault, when we aren't out there committing the crimes or rioting.

As long as european-americans get blamed for everything and blacks refuse to accept responsibility for their life circumstances, there is no basis for conversation.

I'm angry because nobody cares about George Floyd except his family and friends. Everybody else is simply using this unfortunate event which was obviously unintended to cause hate, violence, insurrection, murder, arson, race bating and political grandstanding. Liberal America shows its most vile and disgusting face.

A "national conversation" about racial stuff is like those seminars that are used to make men treat women better in the work place. Usually these things ended with men cowering in fear from the filthy mouthed women and the aggrieved blacks.

Gowdy oughta shut his cakehole. I don’t need to have a “conversation” about the criminal justice system, or race relations, or “privilege” or anything else. I could givie a few lectures, though....

He was a loser..he didn't follow police instructions, and suffered...too bad...but, since the perp has been arrested and charged, along with 3 others, it's time to knock off the protests and riots and damage...

A former prosecutor should know enough to wait until the facts are in before accusing someone of murder, but where there's a microphone or a camera, there's Trey Gowdy, no doubt deep into investigating Hillary Clinton to this day. Meanwhile, didn't the racist gunrunner Eric Holder promise us a national conversation on race during the 8 long years of racial agitation by Obama?
