Several posts at today’s Instapundit elaborate on the theme that the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis won’t create George Floyd type disturbances. The reason is she was white.
The protests that did occur were observed to be performative - half-hearted and lacking rage. The irony of this difference is immense.

Real revolutionaries risk and sometimes lose their lives. Phone video shot by Good’s wife show her to be a grinning individual cosplaying a revolutionary. Moments later the cosplay became all too real because ICE was working, not playing.
We mostly forget our everyday transportation - our auto or truck - is also a deadly weapon. Effectively every driver on the road is “open carrying;” climbing behind the wheel is like strapping on a gun belt or slinging an assault rifle. If you appear to intentionally threaten LEOs with any weapon, they have a self-defense right to respond forcefully.
