"Police officers in the central Arkansas city of Conway have been cleared of wrongdoing in connection with the death of a man who was in custody.
The case has drawn attention because during his arrest, Lionel Morris told officers he could not breathe and three officers each used a foot to restrain him while he was on the ground."

That’s messed up. It looks like those officers need to face charges. I don’t think that dude is white though.
Happens all over, but the media would like you to believe this only happens to black people. There will be no rioting for White, Asian, Native, or non-black Hispanic people.
Whites do not riot or cry so white lives do not matter
The technique used against George Floyd is expressly prohibited in many jurisdictions and not taught in police training. It is taught to new officers by rogue veteran police officers operating on their own. It should not be used and any officer that uses it should be disciplined or fired. It should be illegal.
Regardless of the race of the individual, the point remains...
When it comes to police wrongdoing, white citizens seem passive and complacent. There is a general assumption that the police are in the right and any person in police custody probably is a perpetrator and gets what they deserve. Whites don't have the same experience as minorities. In my town there had to be 27 police-involved killings over a relatively short time and a final straw unjustified death that finally got people riled up. Ownership of the justice system resides and is embraced by the majority White population so it is harder to see or accept faults, so there are fewer complaints. Minorities have a more complicated relationship with the justice system (and it generally falls short of ownership) but there are high expectations of equal treatment under the law and vocal complaints when it is perceived as unequal or abusive. Whites should be more questioning and vigilant and more vocal when there are police abuses.
There is some confusion in twitter. " He is black" vs "He is not black". Not sure how basic facts are not getting across. Now if the guy happens to be part black I understand but if it ends up being he is fully white or fully black I am going to be very cautious on reading anything on twitter.

White votes however do matter, so make sure those who state white lives don't matter or who have an anti-white agenda are defeated vis the ballot box where it counts.
The left seem to forget that white votes matter.
