I can't say that I've seen it happen to ANYONE until George Floyd. Except on Orange is the New Black, I guess.
But as I pointed out in the other thread, in the same city a black cop murdered a white woman. All of the cops involved turned off their body cams, and it took 8 months for them to arrest the cop involved.
If the concern is police using unnecessary force, being allowed to continue working after numerous formal complaints, or a lack of training, then I would agree. But that doesn't seem to be what anyone is trying to accomplish.

But how many whites are there in the country compared to blacks? How many times have you watched a white man have his neck smashed in my a cop?

I've shown in earlier posts that, statistically, white people are killed by police a LOT more often than black people. And studies have shown that "white officers are not more likely to shoot and kill minority suspects... black officers were just as likely to shoot black citizens as white officers were."
So I just can't understand what they're hoping to change. It seems to be based entirely on an emotional response that is statistically incorrect.

That the oppression and killing of blacks must stop.
