Think you have to look at the bigger picture. The reason there is such an outcry about it is that it represents an institutional problem whereby in the US the police treat people of different races differently.
One of the sad takeaways from this whole sorry saga is that a CNN reporter covering the riots was arrested BEFORE the officer who is responsible for the death of this man...Take a moment and think about that.

Seems the cops there still haven't learned any lessons

"Floyd and Chauvin knew each other as “co-workers for a very long time”. The men worked together for more than 17 years as bouncers at a local club, El Nuevo Rodeo."
Minneapolis is about double the size of Swansea, so the police officer might encounter people that he knows, but why physically restrain him like this? He knows the man's name, so he isn't going to run away.
Is there any evidence whatsoever that this horrific act was racially motivated though?
You think the policeman treated the other man as a human? if you think he treated him as sub-human then I don’t really see why you needed to ask the question.

17 years, not sure about that
I saw an interview with the club's owner, she said they only worked there at the same time for a short while
She wasn't sure if they ever worked the same days and she doubted they would have known each other
It is a possibility though, she also said the cop was relaxed in Latino nights but very agitated and nervous on urban/ African American nights

It's a genuine question, regardless. The scenes and reporting since this incident is appalling.

What colour was the reporter?

Even though Humpty is being his usually stupid twát was it just one black fella arrested then because the footage I saw showed one black man,one Latino and one white man being arrested. Did you switch off after they arrested the black man first and miss the rest of it?

DJ mentioned the arrested CNN reporter. I asked what colour the reporter was. That's all.

You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.

For the terminally stupid, I shall reiterate. "a CNN reporter covering the riots was arrested BEFORE the officer who is responsible for the death of this man"

You are once again making an assumption...Irrespective of the reporter (and his crew's) colour he(they) were arrested whilst acting legally, yet the police officer responsible for George Floyd's death was arrested later. Hope this helps

Sorry if I like the full story. I’d imagine there was a lot of people arrested before the murderer too. (let’s call him by the correct term)
