The problem with policing is far larger than the media & BLM would have you believe.
In this video, the cop who executed the victim had something written on his rifle.
"You're ****ed"

8 Minutes and 46 Seconds: How George Floyd Was Killed in Police Custody

Sad, there is something wrong with that Cop.

I heard a study on the radio that twice and many Blacks are killed by police than Whites. I wonder how much of a cultural problem there is between the police and Blacks. Hard to tell but he seemed to resist being put into the police cruiser. Not that that justifies what happened but police feel they need to do whatever is necessary to get compliance in any situation because lives are usually at risk.

How often is compliance an issue when a death occurs at the hands of the police? If Floyd had simply gotten in the back of the police cruiser that day, would he be alive now?

Floyd sparked riots. That is off topic.

This is one reason I don't rule out culture as a factor in racial disparity.

Let's here it for the 'well-armed militia" folk. We need them to show up with their fully-loaded AK-47's to protect lives against the cops, do we not.
Or the mafia. Id personally feel more safe around them. My natural quietness amd slowly and carefully considered words will keep alive around them. Cops on the other hand, that sometimes makes them suspicious, and then at that point it starts to remain calm because they start insinuating I'm intoxicated.
Bike gang members even. Ive gotten along with them (no more than one or two at a time though). I know ine pig who put me in his car twice, despite me being a "neighborhood" familair car and face and him even saying he recognized me from when I work at the gas station.
I've even trusted a speedfreak drug dealer to watch my apartment once (he even cleaned it). A cop? Never.

Don't most folks see criminals as lower class citizens?
Floyd was pegged as a criminal already by the police.

People tend to find ways to justify their actions against the immoral.

I get that impression, ie, that once branded as a criminal, one is forever viewed as one.
Except for Danny Trejo.

There are several things about the first story that don't add up.

One is that he was charged with multiple felonies. If all a prosecutor has to go on is that he's white and male and got arrested, that doesn't seem right. It shows a pic of the person that the cops were looking for, and they don't look much alike. Sure, overzealous cops might have made a terrible mistake and should be held accountable. But $50,0000 bond, six months waiting for trial? Acquittal?

No, this seems off to me. Like there's lots more to the story than 6 minutes of vague, tearjerking, video actually explain. Such as, what was he charged with and did it have anything to do with his arrest?

Maybe he was guilty of several felonies, but his indulgent parents could afford the kind of lawyers that get people acquitted. I'm not claiming to know.

All I'm claiming is that one carefully edited video doesn't prove a dang thing. And you are making a serious, broad, accusation in this thread.

I could have been branded as a criminal having been busted for shoplifting when I was a stupid adolescent. But I was a clean-cut young white so got off without even being arrested. If I had been black, I would have been in the slammer.

You were lucky.
I've know whities who've been less so.
One plays roulette when encountering cops.
And that's the theme of this thread, ie, it's a big problem for everyone.
