As the typical and familiar race propaganda & lies in the U.S. go: “Lawrence D. Bobo [Dean of Social Science | W. E. B. Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences | Harvard College Professor] dissects police killings of black men and the history and cognitive forces behind racial bigotry and violence … Floyd is the latest link in a long chain of deaths and injuries involving police: Rodney King, Malice Wayne Green, Abner Louima, Amadou Diallo, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Philando Castile, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, among them. ...” (Source: The Harvard Gazette: NATIONAL & WORLD AFFAIRS The fire this time
Well, I don’t have time to go into the background of all these so-called victims of police violence, but let's review a few of them. The list above contains the names of 10 so called victims. To be clear, that is 10 so called victims of racism in 30 years. That is not a whole lot to make a claim of “systemic and widespread racism”. I am not certain, but I have a strong hunch that most if not all of the above cause celebres are in reality a very different story!
Rodney King: Just read up on Wikipedia about him. Rodney King was a convicted criminal at the time of the incident that made this man infamous. Before his arrest he was driving recklessly endangering other people!
On the fateful day: “... Early in the morning of March 3, 1991, King, with his friends Bryant Allen and Freddie Helms, were driving a … Hyundai Excel … on the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. The three had spent the night watching basketball and drinking at a friend's house … At 12:30 a.m., officers ... of the California Highway Patrol, noticed King's car speeding on the freeway. They pursued King with lights and sirens, and the pursuit reached 117 mph ..., while King refused to pull over ... King later said he tried to outrun the police because a charge of driving under the influence would violate his parole for his previous robbery conviction.
King left the freeway ... and the pursuit continued through residential streets at speeds ranging from 55 to 80 miles per hour ... and through at least one red light. By this point, several police cars anAmadou Diallod a police helicopter had joined in the pursuit. After approximately 8 miles ..., officers cornered King in his car. … ” This is the background of Rodney King, a so-called victim of police violence!
Amadou Diallo: This Wikipedia article, unfortunately, is of extremely poor quality. According to Wikipedia, we know little about his life except for that he came to the U.S. “filing a political asylum application falsely claiming that he was from Mauritania and that his parents had been killed in fighting.”
About the event itself: “In the early morning of February 4, 1999, Diallo was standing near his building after returning from a meal. At about 12:40 a.m., police officers … all in plain clothes – drove by. [a police officer] later claimed that Diallo matched the general description of a serial rapist reported a year earlier, or that he might have been a "lookout". … The officers ... later claimed that Diallo ran up the outside steps toward his apartment house doorway at their approach, ignoring their orders to stop and 'show his hands'. The porch light bulb was out and Diallo was backlit by the inside vestibule light, showing only a silhouette. Diallo then reached into his jacket and withdrew his wallet. Seeing the man holding a small square object, [police officer] yelled 'Gun!' to alert his colleagues. The officers opened fire on Diallo ...”
One may safely assume from the fact that four plain clothed police officers were patrolling this street at around midnight that this area was probably prone to crime. When in Rome do as the Romans do! When in the United States do not run away from police officers who address you and when addressed by police officers, under almost no circumstances, make any move that could be interpreted by a police officer as reaching for a weapon. When you do make such a foolish move, game over! Mr. Diallo probably disregarded such ancient proverbial advice or his previous experience in other countries primed him to run! Of course, the police is not blame free. Plain clothed police officers patrolling a neighborhood at night is not an advisable police strategy. Mistaken identities do happen and that Diallo at that time could have appeared to be a lookout by police officers is not unreasonable. That one police officer possibly overreacted here in this situation by shouting gun sounds more like a human error of judgment and not much else. Were not black Americans walking away in droves from the Democratic Party plantation before this tragic event happened?
I also remember the case of Eric Garner was by far not what the race baiters want us to believe! But I do not remember the details anymore.
Ahmaud Arbery: He was not killed by police officers!
There are first indications that the new cause celebre for race baiters, i.e. George Floyd (6 ft 6’’ athletic frame, worked as a bouncer), will turn out not so much different from the ones above. E.g. the official autopsy of GF indicated very recent use of drugs like Fentanyl and also methamphetamine was found in his body. It was reported that GF tried to pay for cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill when a store employee called the police. “... The district attorney’s report cites the account given by police: “Mr. Floyd did not voluntarily get in the car and struggled with the officers by intentionally falling down, saying he was not going in the car, and refusing to stand still. ..."

Will the involved police officers even get a fair trial, a very real concern! The mob chaos and rioting that ensued after the tragic incident has the appearance of being part of deliberate presidential election campaigning by other means to prevent a second term of President Trump!
By the way, when you Google for “george floyd official coroner autopsy report” (as of 6/3/2020 about 13:00 MST) you get a lot of garbage as results especially tons of links to the private autopsy report and how it contradicts the official autopsy report. Very annoying!! Bing search engine fails completely as well!
