Death of George Floyd in Minneapolis Result of Approved Minneapolis Police Training — Larry C Johnson

Summary:
As I have been saying, it's not primarily a matter of "a few bad apples," it is rather the police culture. Larry Johnson reports the police officers' behavior that resulted in the death of George Floyd was straight out of the department manual. Thus, it appears it could have been "an unfortunate accident." The larger question is why the US has such a deadly domestic security force in the first place.  The second question is why minorities appear to bear the brunt of the violence, which only gets reported in the case of exceptional circumstance.  Few "incidents" at police hands are even deeply investigated. A report is filed and that's it. The report is never questioned. See 99% of Police Violence Cases Go Unpunished: The Culture of ImpunitySic Semper Tyrannis Death of George
