The thing that's gonna fucking haunt me about that video is the thing where the cop keeps telling Floyd to get up and get in the car, with his knee on the man's neck. Calmly ordering him to do something he knows Floyd can't do, while he kills him Practiced, professional cruelty

The only difference between criminals and the police is that violence practiced by the police is state sanctioned. And it doesn't seem to matter much whose on the receiving end of that violence as far as the state is concerned.

The people on the receiving end of state violence are more likely to be poor and/or black, indigenous, or otherwise of color. That's not an accident and can't be overlooked I certainly agree that the police perpetrate criminal violence with state sanction
