With everyone focusing on the movement, I really wonder what effect the outcome of this situation had on the greater situation. Morbidly, everyone seems to have moved on from Floyd.

If an officer went way over the line and got punished for it, there wouldn't be these protests. The problem is where the line is, and the inability to get adequate redress when it's crossed (and race). If justice goes as normal, the country may explode.
