The scab that is being picked here though is that the whole George Floyd thing started with a teller contacting the police because he paid for this purchase with a bill above his apparent pay grade.
And the teller pointed them at a convicted armed robber in the middle of a drug deal. How can you argue that George Floyd was the victim of racial profiling without making it evidence that racial profiling works?
Nobody gets called out for being black, you DO get called out for being black and SUSPICIOUS though. You’d think this would make the black community act more carefully and culturally competent but instead they think everyone else is the problem and that they should embrace thug culture as a counter movement. Meanwhile any actual competent black people get called “uncle Toms” for wanting their race to not be seen as violent animals.
He knew who Floyd was insomuch as he knew he was the guy who just tried to pay with a counterfeit bill. That alone is perfectly valid grounds for calling the cops, you don't have to call it "profiling"?
