5 Black police officers charged over death of Tyre Nichols

Criminality does increase the amount of interactions with police, yes. However the American police are disproportionately violent towards black suspects, whether they have committed a crime or not.

George Floyd had committed a non-violent crime prior his murder (paying with a counterfeit bill). Does that mean that he, a criminal, should have been killed on the street for it? I would argue no. I would also argue that the a white man having committed the same crime would not have been killed for it.

It is a fact that black men are being killed disproportionately by the American police, it is also a fact that there is more criminality in the black communities than in the white communities in the US. There are two reasons for this: the black population is disproportionately kept in poverty by a mostly white controlled society in order to keep the black population under control, or black Americans are inherently prone to criminality.

I believe the former, because it is the truth and I only deal with truth and not libertarian fantasies. Anyone who believes the latter is a racist, because it is a racist belief.

Should George have been left kill the guard and proceed to kill family members.

No.

Statistics show that white police officers killing unarmed black people in America is incredibly small. Minibus filling small in a country of 340mn.

Police of any background killing innocent people is incredibly small, especially how armed, drug addled and violent American society.

Lots of middle class White activists need a cause and adventure and that ends up with black communities having their shops burnt out. BLM destroyed a generation of black businesses in America. The rich white kids got bored, went home but the damage was done.

Streets be like that. Gang culture has become community culture.

You’re hiding behind some interesting provisos there.

George Floyd wasn’t “innocent,” should he have been killed the way he was?

Statistics also show that gun ownership (legal or otherwise) is incredibly high in the US, where concealed carrying is commonplace is some states. If a black suspect is carrying a gun when he is committing a crime, should he be killed even if he is not threatening anyone with it?

These are rhetorical questions by the way. My point is that you have manipulated “statistics” (not that you have cited actually any) to support your argument by cherry picking certain conditions.

1176 people were killed by the American police last year, 24% of whom were black (out of a population of 13%). Those are the facts, without fluffing the conditions.

There is a great video on YouTube, it's a black man in New York dressing down white BLM protesters, aren't they nearly all white, for spray painting his shop window.

I'm not your holiday project, we don't need to be saved by you he says.

It was so very accurate.

They go home to Suburbia, back to College and daddy's firm, talking about their Summer of activism at parties. He is Left picking up glass and rebuilding a life for years to come.

Solidarity dude.

If it was the rare occasion of a white policeman killing an innocent black man the activist class would be mobilising, it's not, nothing in it for them, that was like so 2020.
