There is no whataboutism here.
Floyd was killed by a racist pos who decided he needed to kneel on his neck for 8 minutes, or whatever it was, after he was already in cuffs. I can understand why people are protesting his death, certainly not to the extent it was taken though because it makes absolutely no sense to burn down a Walgreens.
Blake was shot because he was a pos himself and has a problem with authority. White, black, brown, yellow, orange, purple, if you think you can have the cops called on you because you are a domestic scum, resist arrest and wrestle the cops, manage to break free and ignore a taser, then open your car door with guns drawn on you and a cop pulling you back, then you deserve every bullet coming your way. Not every cop wakes up in the morning and sets out to kill a black person that day. Too many cops have died because they didn't pull the trigger under those circumstances.
Now this cop is most certainly going to get death threats, lose his job, have to move his family, and all for a 100% justifiable shoot.
The numbers show that black people are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, but the numbers also show that black people commit a disproportionate level of felony crimes/homicides.
That's about all I'll say on the matter because there's an entire forum to talk about this if you dare enter the cesspool.
