The man had been arrested and was in custody...It doesn't matter what he has done in the past. The police needed to take him to the station and process him for this crime.. supposedly passing a counterfeit $20 at a Muslim owned sandwich shop.
The other police..2 of Asian decent should of stepped in and together put him in a vehicle. It doesn't matter if he had meth or fentanyl in his system or a criminal history.
The prosecutor would determine his fate.
I read where the cop and dead man had both worked at the same Mexican club in some form of security.
It was an unlawful act by the police.
Look it up and you find far more whites are killed by cops each year.
I sure don't think you can burn down cities over this and black lives matter sure does not care about all the blacks killed every single day by other blacks.
The white Aussie lady gunned down in her pjs by a black cop in the same city after she had called the police for help did not deserve to die..The cop is doing 12 years.
He made a huge mistake and justice was dished out.
No cities burned.
The antifa fucks are anarchists looking for an excuse..
There are legitimate protestors..
there are looters and their are anarchists looking to stir up shit.
Anyone who commits a crime needs to be brought up on charges.
This is from HRW and has already been posted on another thread by GMJS-440, but it's a good answer to your post.

As protests strengthen in the United States and around the world, our outrage is intensified by US authorities’ systemic deference to excessive police force against black people. Police in the US kill black people at twice the rate of white people – three times the rate when they are unarmed. Yet six years since the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Eric Garner in New York, Tamir Rice in Cleveland, and so many others whose names and memories we must honor, policymakers have yet to end the routine impunity that enables such killing.
Meanwhile, officials in the US seem to prefer endless investment in law enforcement to address the entrenched racism that for generations has created dramatic racial disparities in health, housing, education, employment, and rates of arrest and criminal conviction. The coronavirus pandemic shines a spotlight on these disparities, with black people and other minorities disproportionately affected due to a constellation of factors that include the “comorbidities” of poverty, the reluctance of many people to seek timely health care because they aren’t sure how they will bear the cost, and a tattered social safety net that gives many low-income people no choice but to work in frontline jobs, despite the health risks involved. That such a wealthy nation treats its own people so callously fuels the fury over George Floyd’s death.
