1. I made a mistake when I claimed that you were interested in gradually decreasing police brutality and violence. Now it appears that you do not care about reducing police brutality and killings at all. That is the whole goal of the enterprise.
2. Civil laws are not criminal laws. According to the laws surrounding the killing (which are criminal laws) of another person, the cops who killed Elijah McClain and Breonna Taylor were perfectly within their rights. As you said, the cops and other authorities found no evidence of the law being broken. The system worked as it should. And innocent black people are dead. After all, there is no law they can be charged with for breaking!

1. So the stat that says only 2 were killed by a white cop is misleading. Also, why should the race of the cop matter? Why did you mention it? Do you believe black cops cannot be racist?
2. This seems like a discussion about your opinion as to how the issue is portrayed.
3. If the issue is that you think cops are being unfairly judged, note that cops kill black people and get away with it. The MPD, for example, has killed over 200 people in the last few decades, and out of those, only three of these killings resulted in charges (including George Floyd) and only one resulted in a conviction.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...
