The peoples have had enough, what about the killing of that aussie woman? The American police force needs a complete overhaul & they been saying it for years!
She did not get shot because she was white; she got shot because 2 poorly trained rookies got startled when she walked to their car from back, and slapped the car with her hand, startling the trigger happy cops. They both pulled their guns, one fired.
That is very different scenario to the 9 minutes killing of handcuffed and not resisting George Floyd that the whole world watched. It is totally irrelevant that he was a petty criminal with drug history. He did not deserve to die. The reason why his killing sparked such response was not because of what sort of person he was; that is NOT what it is about. It is about 4 men who killed another human being in broad daylight, in front of witnesses filming it, and obviously did not think it will be a problem. And there is no guarantee they will be actually punished.
My point is, people are less sympathetic of someone who has a violent criminal history. Not petty crime as you state. This hasn't been release to the public but sources indicate what he did in the past was incredibly evil. The aggrevated burgery for one. Media wouldn't reveal what it is but the added "aggrevated " was pretty bad according to sources. And he also broke into a pregnant women's home pointing a gun at her stomach if she didn't give him any money. I don't condone the police guy's action one bit. But you shouldn't make this guy out as a hero for equal rights. If there're thousands of injustice to black people. The evidence should be able to find one victim, just one that is worthly to be the poster boy. Honestly, is it so hard to find someone?
If you point a gun at anyone's pregnant wife threatening their lives, I'll have less respect for the life of this person black or white or green.
