Conflation is a brilliant thing. Policeman on trial for murder. Jury finds him guilty of murder. But earlier in his now extinguished life the murdered man was no saint so perhaps the policeman wasn't in fact guilty after all? Oh, but the jury found him guilty, so perhaps they were biased and the policeman never had a chance? If only there'd been a 'fair trial', ie one where a man with a criminal history can't really have been murdered by a policeman?
Let's conflate a number of different issues because, deep down, we think Floyd deserved everything he got and the policeman has been hard done by. Naive to think differently. Rather worrying that every poster on here could, possibly, be asked to be a juror.
