So how does the 30-min bodycam footage from the George Floyd incident change your opinion?

Cops did find a weed pipe on him. Couple that with his behaviour and the fact that he was already guilty for forgery, I don't completely condemn the way the cops behaved.

No, he was not guilty of forgery! Guilt requires a trial, evidence, testimony, charging documents, etc.

Floyd's death is a classic example of police brutality and, BLM and others would argue, yet another example of systemic racism by the police.

And guess what? None of the crimes he's alleged to have committed nor any of his actions during his arrest warrant the death penalty, but that's exactly what he was given.

I think you probably harbor some racism in you -- most of us do -- and all you've taken from this extended arrest video is info you can use to justify as much.
