The funny thing is it never was
just about George Floyd.
The police released their dash cam footage and you can clearly see the car bump in to protestors first starting the whole thing. Of course it pisses people off when you run into them. The cops were there to block protestors which was stupid in the first place. They were not prepared to actually block the protestors and so they tried to stop them the hard way. I'm a hundred percent pro protestor now. The cops messed this one up.
Also I do not for a second buy the story about them thinking it was a gun shot. There would have been hundreds of cops called in looking for the gun and shooter. I'm pretty sure you don't just run away when the shooting starts. Anyway, that could easily be verified by the call the cop made when he "heard" the shot. There should be a record of that. Just bad policing all around.
