Thank you for posting that video from the black former cop lambasting the protests from black people and the "white privilege/virtue signalling" stuff.
This guy is an example of why the Internet is a depressing place.
He is perfectly entitled to his viewpoint as a black former cop, but his viewpoint is like anyone's, it's deeply imbued with his own personal experience. Yet it will be shared as if "the black man has spoken" as a universal Black-approved critique of the protests.
It isn't. He discredits George Floyd for his admittedly heinous crimes before arrest. He also tries to contextualise his death by saying "only" three other black people died by cop without weapons this year. Then goes on to say he was "resisting arrest" as if that was justification for his death.
It's a typical US police perspective, issued by someone who seems to believe that summary justice can justifiably take place in the field if someone shows undesirable behaviour.
This man on his video rant has decided that because Floyd was essentially a societal undesirable, and perhaps resisted arrest, then he immediately entered into a situation where he rolled the dice with his life.
Unacceptable. I don't care how black this dude is (he looks the same shade as me) or how preacher he sounds, this guy is arguing for a system that defends police that take lives in the field because they can.
