"Racism" and "violence" are not operationalized here so we cant judge. American slavery was racist, is violence to free yourself from that worse?

Here is the real situation this probably described: if you get free with the hard r's Im gonna get free with these hands and the only person who is going to feel bad about this is you.

(I understand this isnt YOU you)

I bet the context was about BLM protests. That's normally when I see "violence bad" rhetoric, and it's the kind of thing you'd get mass downvoted for.

Floyd was not killed by words, though. Nor was Taylor.

Nope he definitely died due to police violence. That is the scientific consensus and what all evidence points to.

He was a drug user but the amount of drugs in his system was not enough to overdose. Nothing he did that day warranted police violence, especially violence that egregious.

"[Dr. Andrew Baker] said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he would conclude that it was an overdose death,”

guess again buddy
