I'd say we have people who need us to believe we have a race problem.

That could be one of the reasons. All I know is some things seem very off about this entire thing. Not the killing of Floyd, but the aftermath seems to be used as an opportunity to create more division.

Some things appeared to be a little too orchestrated.

There's something really off about this whole thing. I think we'd be better off if we stop pointing fingers at one another and start asking some questions.
You just finger pointed

Sigh.
You can't have it both ways.
Either you hold the impaired person 100% liable for the criminal acts he commits or you excuse him for lacking intent.
...
If you hold the impaired person liable, what about his suppliers who are enriched by his addiction?
Are they biological kidnappers / slavers and should be treated as such?
...
Do you provide "safe havens" to do drugs where you cannot harm another or their property?
...
If you decriminalize all substances, even toxic, addictive and destructive ones, assuming everyone has liberty to do what they will, who is then responsible for addicting a child or mentally impaired person?
Or who uses addiction to control another, as in prostitution?
