Completely ignoring race is just as stupid, both are illogical extremes.

Completely ignoring race as a political instrument is the only way society has ever actually dealt with racial bigotry.

Which is partially why it's still a problem, no one wants to tackle the problem honestly.

George Floyd was on the ground, so he had been "dealt with". No reason why cops couldn't have put handcuffs on him there and then.

That is not an excuse that is a fact and I don't go around associating with meth addicts clearly you do.

He was in handcuffs before they even took him to the cruiser.

This is probably true, we don't actually know all the details though remember.

Take 1 overzealous cop and 1 raging meth-head, throw them in a pot and stir.
Add racism and social justice.
Enjoy the **** soup.

So what is the honest way of dealing with it?

Accurately assessing what factor race actually plays and the reasons for it instead of synthetically making it either irrelevant or all-important depending on personal agenda?

Fentanyl

Common side effects include vomiting, constipation, sedation, confusion, hallucinations, and injuries related to poor coordination.

I can easily understand why a battle-wearied cop would start abusing junkies out of hand, I won't condone it but I can understand it.

Did Faux News label George Floyd a junkie?

Meth=junkie, you won't convince me otherwise

 

[Urist]

US cops seem to to have a thing about themselves
my guess is it's from watching too many cop movies.

Thought it was fentanyl.
