In the Floyd case someone died, and a murder investigation is under way.

The other was at best assault.

There have been numerous cases in the UK of police causing death or life chaging injury through restaining people, so it's not just the US, although all cases are frefered to the Independet Office for Police Conduct or similar independent organisations throughout the UK.

Here are just a few of the recent ones -

This is why people are protesting "POLICE ABUSE" that would include all police.

Black cops get the same training and are in the same Blue culture that thinks abuse against the citizens of this country is ok. The Blue Line runs deeper than the American Flag right now regardless of race.

Right now police protecting themselves is more important than reporting the truth and holding themselves accountable. That should scare every American citizen.

I'll play the devil's advocate and it might open a Pandora's box but what could happen if a white police officer was Jewish?

Is there a particular reason you're trying to throw that variable into the discussion?

To wonder where the SJWs will throw their anger: to the Jewish cop for racism or the black guy for antisemitism. That comic strip gived me that strange idea.
