Judge orders release of body camera video in Floyd case

I'm a Canadian too, but this is an article about America.

Speaking personally, every racialized person I know has a healthy distrust of police, but that is also true of most non-racialized people I know, and there is plenty of ideological diversity within that range. More importantly, I would never presume to generalize about what the "privileged" and the "unprivileged" want based on only the people I have had contact with.

So let's look at Canada. Only 50-60% Canadians who are of visible minorities actually trust RCMP/local police, a good 10% less than respondents who are not of visible minorities. In case it needs saying, those are very bad numbers, and they should worry everyone. 40+% of people who look a certain way do not have confidence in the people who are meant to "protect and serve" them, and a good chunk of them fear those police because they look a certain way. That is a minority of a minority, but it is still a sizeable proportion, and I frankly doubt you've been following the protests all that closely if all you see are "the privileged".
