As for allegations of racism, I just don't see how this situation plays out the exact same way if George Floyd were a white person.
And the body cam footage has not moved the needle at all for me.

Police use excessive force and kill people of all races all the time. The race related component is the rate of interactions as opposed to the death. If the interaction with a white guy went down the same way, which it does, all the time, I don't see it playing out any different.
