Right and with none of these protests the chance of them being found not guilty would be much greater

So the protests are to ensure that the sentence is appropriate and put pressure on the court?
Not sure where to post this, but a thread well worth reading
Theres been video for the last 10 years tho. Eric Garner literally was killed on tape.
I don't get it but it is well past time honestly.
Probably because everyone has been stuck inside trying to figure out how to not go insane.
With so many being furloughed and let go many especially in the black community they have had enough.
Like you said there were others and that probably weighed on peoples minds and already stressed this threw them over the edge to where something definitely needed to be done.
They reckon these last two/three months could be the most stressful in a long time.
So many incidents by cops are ignored by the courts.
Cops are rarely prosecuted and given the amount of incidents against the black community people wanted to let them know enough is enough and the cops in that incident and going forward need to be dealt with.
A criminal act should not be ignored because a man or woman wears a uniform.
Partly that, partly to raise awareness that nothing has changed since ‘92. Partly because white people en masse are saying enough. Partly a reaction to three years of incendiary rhetoric from trump, partly due to lockdown fatigue and a number of other reasons.

Democrats to Propose Broad Bill to Target Police Misconduct and Racial Bias (Published 2020)
Elements of the package, to be unveiled on Monday by House and Senate Democrats, are certain to meet with opposition from police unions and their allies.
Interested to see how this ends up. It’s a smart move by the Democrats to take the initiative on this, but it needs to come without the silly poison pills and provisions.
Just to correc that point...
Fair correction haha!
I made this point a couple days ago, black people, especially men, are disproportionately affected by cops acting completely recklessly. But they are far from the only ones.
Yep I remember that post and I agree.

You're already been wrong on a lot of assumptions already. So. whatever mate. Yawn!
Here's a couple.
Officer characteristics and racial disparities in fatal officer-involved shootings
Officer characteristics and racial disparities in fatal officer-involved shootings
There is widespread concern about racial disparities in fatal officer-involved shootings and that these disparities reflect discrimination by White officers. Existing databases of fatal shootings lack information about officers, and past analytic approaches have made it difficult to assess the...
We find no evidence of anti-Black or anti-Hispanic disparities across shootings, and White officers are not more likely to shoot minority civilians than non-White officers. Instead, race-specific crime strongly predicts civilian race. This suggests that increasing diversity among officers by itself is unlikely to reduce racial disparity in police shootings.
Do White Law Enforcement Officers Target Minority Suspects?
They find that although minority suspects are disproportionately killed by police, white officers appear to be no more likely to use lethal force against minorities than nonwhite officers .
Saw that on Twitter, never knew this.
Bootlicker.
This is what you get called now for not advocating violence towards police men and women.
