Yeah.. one teeny tiny problem. You are conflating the murder of George Floyd with racism on behalf of the policeman. However, at NO stage - including at the trial - has racism been suggested as a motive for the murder.

After his murder, there were many discussions about the role of policing in his death. The murder was so blatant that there were a lot fewer people on the right who tried to excuse it when compared to other killings. For the first time, a spotlight was shone on policing itself, and people were having serious discussions about getting rid of police altogether.
One can understand why many on the right decided to argue that Mr. Floyd’s murderer was a bad apple. An aberration, an outlier. Not part of the system.
So this is where the battle line is now. And this is why we see these attempts to stifle discussions about whether or not the system is killing people
