Yeah, we could say the death of George Floyd was tragic and avoidable too, but we don't. And that's not just because we don't believe Chauvin really caused his death. It's also because we knew Floyd was an awful person and we know the cops were doing their job the best they can.

Believing that ICE agents, who are required to face dangerous situations and people who want to kill them on a daily basis (to a much greater extent than an average cop I might add) should be given a little slack doesn't really put us in a position of being tyrannized by a police state. It doesn't even really require us to believe or trust anything the government says, because we already have the video evidence to see exactly what happened during and before the incident.
