I suggest you watch the entire 10 minute video recorded by a bystander.
These protests are not just about George Floyd.
They about Briana Taylor, Aubrey Ahmad, Philando Castile, Botham Jean, Tamir Rice and many, many others.
BTW, The Minneapolis PD has a long history of white cops abusing black and brown people and, the cop who pressed his knee and full body weight onto Mr. Floyd's neck for 10 mins. (for 3 minutes AFTER Mr. Floyd was unresponsive), has 18 serious complaints filed against him.

Personally, I think that cop should be charged with murder and the other 3 should be charged as accessories. Doesn’t change the fact that stealing and burning down personal property is NOT protesting.
It’s criminal, and should be treated that way. End of story.
