so, it's totally justified to loot a random person's store because some black drug addict asshole was killed during a confrontation with police? Notice I never said "killed BY police" because in the cases of Floyd and Brooks that never happened

"killed" Correct me if I'm wrong, but an OD isn't generally regarded as "killed" unless it can be determined as intentional.

Then again, in his situation and state of mind, who knows, maybe Floyd wanted to OD cause he didn't want to face justice.

I agree, until the jury decides the officers fate I believe that Flyod played just as much of a role in his own death if not more than the cop did. Could be completely ruled due to the overdose too. Then again the cop might be guilty of excessive force but proving more than that in a court of law, with that video, and those toxicology/health reports.... Good luck.
