As long as there’s no racist cop calling, it’ll be fine.

main conclusion is that we all should be happy not to live in the US of A, but in Canada / Europe..

just one honest question:

while it is clear that the death of George Floyd was a blatent case of police brutality, what were the reasons given that this was linked to racism?

I always struggle to understand why people draw conclusions that might not necessarily help their argument.. (the argument of needing to get rid of police brutality in the US).

Since not living in the US (/North America) I clearly miss some context here.

Thanks.

The guns were to protect themselves from the little girls watching. Sad part is that those are probably their kids who they brought along so they could learn them about freedom and stuff.

There are no reasons given at this point that this single action was the specific result of a racist cop deciding to go out and choke a black guy to death. The reactions of American blacks probably have a lot more to do with how they feel whenever they deal with the police in their country or whenever they see another black guy choked to death or shot in the back in self defence. Just a guess though since those are things I’ve never experienced.

You want to know why the question of racism is brought into this? I think "context" is the answer to your question.

You are not missing context. You have all the context you should need to understand.

I am going to assume you were going for humor here. That question was never asked.
Boobs in spandex were not shown.

Is more of this sh1t going on, or are we all more aware because we have more time to watch the news now?

When Xenia Onatopp rode a man and killed him with her thighs in Goldeneye, I fell in love with Famke Janssen.

Solid A.

If it would have been a black cop, would it still be called racism?
what if the victim was some asian dude? still racism?
if the victim would have been a white guy - all of a sudden that's 'normal' police brutality?
what if the victim had been a woman - then a clear case of mysogeny?

fact is there was a clear case of police brutality.
the rest is all speculation until some additional facts become available.
