That's right. Floyd was judged by the content of his character , what witnesses claimed about what he had done (quantitative easing with his own privately printed money in competition with the Fed) , the way he was acting, the way he was resisting ....not the color of his skin. That's all King ever asked for. It's you racists that have turned it into a skin color thing to incite mob violence against King's position on peaceful protests. If you don't like the procedure then join the whites in rectifying policing for everyone's benefit.
The 8% figure only has meaning if it is not related to the job. If it includes job related killings it's a deceptively bogus number as they are on the front lines if you compare society to some kind of army. The 40% figure is alarming if true. If true, being vigilant about charging or demoting officers involved might be the best way to remove that kind of behavior with the public. How do we know about that number? And are those cases prosecuted with the disarming of violaters?
The Minnesota DA over charged the Cop who knelt on him. Now with the body cam evidence that he was resisting arrest and toxicology report that he was high as fuck I think there’s at least a 50-50 chance the cop gets off. The DA will be to blame if he is found not guilty of murder. Round two of BLM riots coming to a city near you

This is similar to the 67% of all U.S. adults preferring the status quo, including 71% of White Americans. Meanwhile, nearly equal proportions of Black Americans say they would like the police to spend more time in their area (20%) as say they'd like them to spend less time there (19%). These findings are from a June 23-July 6 Gallup Panel survey, administered by web in English and conducted as part of the newly launched Gallup Center on Black Voices. The study includes large samples of Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans, weighted to their correct proportions of the population. Of these four racial/ethnic groups, Asian Americans are the most likely to want less police presence where they live, with 28% saying this. That contrasts with 12% of White Americans, 17% of Hispanic Americans and 19% of Black Americans. (Much more at above url including tables & charts)
https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-rei...cution's,against former officer Derek Chauvin. Judge reinstates 3rd-degree murder charge against Derek Chauvin in death of George Floyd Chauvin also is facing second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The judge presiding over the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd has reinstated a third-degree murder charge in the case after the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that the application of the count in another civilian death involving a Minneapolis police officer established precedent. Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill, who dismissed the third-degree murder charge in October, granted the motion by prosecutors to reinstate the charge after hearing arguments from both sides of the case. Cahill's decision hinged on a recent appellate court decision upholding a third-degree murder conviction against former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor in the 2017 fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond after she called 911 to report an assault in progress near her home.
