The death itself was fucked up and the cop should definitely be tried for murder. But if I remember correctly, right when George Floyd was murdered all the headlines were like 'White Cop murders Black Man' and the media was automatically trying to pin the murder as a hate-crime, meanwhile the newly released Body-Cam footage pretty much shows it was never about race, and in my opinion this makes all the rioting even more silly.
Remember this? Still think they are going to do it ?
