Now, don't misunderstand, I'm not blaming the victims for their deaths. The police officers who shot the the victims deserve full blame. On the other hand, the victims wouldn't have been in the situation had they complied with the police officers.
Thoughts?
Anybody remember this? A man is passed out in driver seat while going through a fast food station. Instead of arresting him after he failed a sobriety test the officers repeatedly try and reason with him. Suddenly the situation turns bad very fast and the man ends up dead.
The key difference is that there have been a number of non-white cops shooting a range of people as well as white cops shooting white people that are ignored and that have been just as numerous and in many cases egregious.
Indeed, but you don't hear about it, because the leftist media cannot make it fit into a false narrative, and create a racial circus with it.

Indeed
When I hear black parents say they had to give their kids "the talk" about how to deal with the police, I wonder what the heck they are teaching their kids when you see so many mouth off, flee, resist and fight with police.
The responsible parents will tell them to be respectful and polite, just like my parents told me, and I am white.
If the cop is a bad apple, deal with it and later file a compliant about the way you were treated. But when you are in their custody, whether it be pulled over for a driving infraction or something else, be nice and maybe they might just let you off with a warning.
I think this great video by Chris Rock should be a PSA for all kids to watch;

Nope!
There is one that sticks out, where the guy had his hands on the wheel and had his head blown off, so there's that.
But is it really resisting arrest when you've done nothing wrong and someone comes after you aggressively? Or does that excuse only work for white guys killing blacks?
EDIT: And just for giggles, I looked up the penalty for resisting arrest, and it is not DEATH WITHOUT TRIAL in any of the 50 states. Are you for law and order, or are you not?
What about officer guyger when the officer had some drinks went into the wrong apartment and shot a church going choir singing accountant in his own home.
That's true, there was nothing the victim did wrong, in that case. I was focusing on George Floyd and other cases like his. I should have been more clear.
All cases also involve people with very long criminal records. Many were literal walking crime sprees.
They were probably going to die in a manner like this due to their past behaviors.
What about the Fort Worth Texas cop on trial for shooting a black woman atatiana jefferson through a window at a non emergency call. She worked in human resources. She graduated in 2014 from Xavier University of Louisiana with a bachelor's degree in biology. She took care of her elderly grandparents and a nephew whose mother was recovering from surgery.

Lies. Tell that to Botham Jean’s father and mother. Her hard-working, accomplished immigrant son shot in his own home. His parents had to take him back to St. Lucia in a casket. The island and the region will never forget.

The George Floyd case. He was a bad dude with a long rap sheet but he did not deserve to have his neck sat on like that. Cop got what he deserved.

Bingo
And if there weren’t criminals police wouldn’t be needed.
