Bob,
I'm not saying I agree with the police on this one. But what I am saying is George Floyd himself was no Saint as people are making him out to be and the demonstrations as a majority mainly ended up in anti-fascist styled looting. That is not about being on the wrong side of history - it's about criticising what is clearly a wrong.
Also I would like to point out that the statistics point out that unfortunately, black people in the U.S, mainly from the ghetto culture, are more likely to be involved in violent crime, particularly against the police. I know a lot of police there get shot at by blacks.
If you want to have equality before the law regarding blacks in America, then you have to address heavily the problem of criminality in this group otherwise these unfortunate events of burnt out cops going crazy and becoming a law unto themselves is going to keep happening.
I know one thing though. None of this would be tolerated in the Russian Federation. I'll give you the example of the Uzbeki migrant workers here. They always get stopped and checked by the police for their documents and to make sure they are in the country legally. Any crimes against the local populace is handled very quickly. There is no problems. They work hard and no one is complaining about racism. They end up going back to Uzbekistan with a lot of money.
There is also a small black community in Russia but they are very well behaved, they usually study at the university, there is no racist attacks against them and they usually go home with the skills they have learned in Russia. The police never usually bother them either.
So no idea what is going on in America but it seems to be you have racist cops on the one hand and a criminally prone community on the other. How can you effectively squash both problems in order to prevent this from happening again?
