George Floyd fell down the stairs

I posted in italian a denounce of hazing in the armed forces and i wouldn't have expected 10 days later to again speak about abuse of power. Law enforcement agencies are supposed to protect national security and make citizens feel safe. I'm against the principle according to which policemen are never meant to use the service weapon preemptively, however it entails weighting.
Americans trust police more than Congress. I mean, it's not a big deal when the latter's approval rating reaches 30% at best. Blacks' trust in police is lower because of the institutionalized racism: 60,4% of population is white compared to 13,4% blacks (ratio 4,5/1); 370 whites and 235 blacks were murdered by the police in 2019 (ratio 1,57/1). Therefore blacks have 2,86x the probabily of being murdered. "Blacks commit more crimes and tend to resist arrest" isn't a valid justification.
The east is very undisciplined. The officer (and the three assisting) that murdered George Floyd were fired but initially not charged of murder. Are you fucking kidding me? They handcuffed him, one held him with the knee on the neck for 2 minutes while he, in a troubled voice, exclaimed "i can't breath". Very important detail: he was unarmed. That move is deemed dangerous and unnecessary so why Derek Chauvin proceeded anyway? Because Minneapolis's department allows it if the suspect resist arrest (he didn't). Body camera is quite indicting.
Chauvin has 17 complaints but worked nonetheless? Imagine if happened in China or Russia the statements from the «civilized world» of condemnation. That CNN reporters were briefly detained may look like dictatorships' stuff but who has long memory remembers when Occupy Wall Street experienced a brutal unjustified crackdown for their peaceful protests.
Concentration camps' victims are turning over in their graves. If the All Lives Matter folks had the same propensity to riot as Black Lives Matter has, riots would be a daily occurrence. Blacks have a «ghetto mentality»: if you attack the ghetto, the ghetto attacks you. Seek justice, not revenge. Footages of snipers on roofs, looting at supermarkets and burned McDonald's are the epitome of a nation being decimated by two deseases: Coronavirus and racism.
Your taxes at work. Seattle's police department ordered officers to turn off body cameras? Get yourself a body camera. Yesterday happened to Floyd but today or tomorrow may happen to everyone. His family has tasked an independent medical examiner since the official version describes him as a crackhead. Police brutality clashes with the rule of law. Musicians, actors, sportsmen voices for justice is a boost and hope that this time there's no return as if nothing had happened.
