eax, you fall into the trap of believing that these protest are just about the floyd of some other isolated event
These are simply particularly egregious examples caught on film of a very common experience for african americans, but an uncommon one for white americans. If you listen to the testimony of protesters, it's a repeated refrain, and something you don't get from 5 second news clips of people marching. They've been unfairly victimised by police multiple times, along with most people they know. Not Floyd. Not this wife beater. Them. And they're hugely and justifiably pissed off and don't want to put up with it anymore, particularly because they feel that they now live in a land where the president sympathises with white supremacists. Floyd was just the straw that broke the camels back.
Perhaps with Niel de Grasse Tyson, a physicist not noted for hyperbole or politics, might you understand what's behind the protest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJqn124pmHY
