Even the case of George Floyd, which I think is univerally seen, even by police, as a police-caused death with absolutely no justification that should never have happened, Floyd was a five-time convicted felon, most recently for home invasion in 2007.
And the caller who reported Floyd in a store was not only for the counterfeit 20-dollar bill, but because he was visibly high. I've still seen no detailing of what happened between that police call and his encounter with the four officers. Although once he was down and in handcuffs, he should just have been put in the squad car and booked. But the media strains not to mention Floyd's criminal history or any resistance of confrontation that might have escalated the situation. Quite the opposite, despite his criminal history, the media and politicians selectively omit his history, and portray him as a saint.
