Unbelievable. George Floyd was a criminal and a drug addict with a long rap sheet. He would pop Fentanyl when confronted by police. He was a huge man, high on Fentanyl and methamphetamines giving him superhuman strength. He was short of breath because of drugs long before Chauvin was on the scene.

Chauvin should have called for medics before he did. The other officers were still in training. Even so, they should have intervened despite their fears of insubordination.

The Floyd spectacle was one foolish decision by one cop in a country with thousands of cops. But the media and the leftists used the video to stir up racial tensions, a ploy of the anarchists begun with Obama.

For this pope to honor a bishop for writing a naive letter to an acquaintance is pure politics.

Floyd is not a saint or even a good citizen. To pretend that he is is ridiculous.

The big takeaway for me here is that Ed is finally conceding there is some progress in Vatican finance reform.

So I'm confused on something. At one point in the podcast there is a distinction between canonical trials and Vatican city state trials. Did I mishear that? If not, what laws do the Vatican city state enforce if not canons?
