This whole thread is beyond redemption. It has deteriorated into opposing camps with no wish to seriously discuss the issue which is, whether Floyd's criminal record ( which Chauvin was aware of) had any bearing on his arrest and did Chauvin exact "revenge" on Floyd. we know the answer to both from the trial. To whit, Floyd was stopped for a Federal felony crime, passing counterfeit money as per the court record. Chauvin was found guilty of using excessive force in the detainment of Floyd, leading to his death. Again as per the court record.
Everybody wants to frame this as a "race" issue. That argument is hogwash as there is no such thing as "race". That word is a made up concept out of the 1800's. There is no science that supports the idea of "race". Humans are all one species, Homo Sapiens. The correct term would be discrimination, because some of us have different degrees of melanin which causes differences in skin color, or our ethnic culture is different. Period.

So get off this false "race" thing and instead think about discrimination against your fellow humans because they might look different or grew up in different cultures. ALL of us are from Africa as genetics has proven.
