The problem with this argument is that there is not one shred of evidence that shows that the killing of George Floyd was racially motivated.

Bad police work? Yes. A horrible, brutal killing? Yes. Unnecessary overuse of force? Probably.

But did Derek Chauvin kill him because he was black? We don't know but it's more likely that it was over a dispute in pay for a security job that they both worked. These two men had a history.
