Well yea duh no shit. Never hear about cops doing that kind of shit to white people now do you? Now is that racist? Not racist if it's true which it is!
Trust me if it was a white guy with a criminal record 6 pages long that was high as a kite and resisted arrest, he would be up shit creek too. There's a reason they don't tell you any of that stuff.
He ODed on Fentanyl. He probably bought it from another Black guy. That Black guy was probably money motivated.

To the title question, yes I think it was. If there was no structural racism I don't think he would have been seen in the same way, so he would have been treated better and not die. But I am not sure.
Don't think it was about race, but either way, it was horrible. The man was already arrested, was about to go to jail, and if it was racially motivated, then it's even worse.
this is old news , can we have a new topic? How about cheating in elections, Covid panic, or Evergrande collapsing in China, or people being tortured in Afgan.

I have swen videos of white unarmed men being killed by the police
He should have just cooperated and he'd still be alive. No, it was not a racial thing.
I'm not 100% sure. I'm not sure if that cop who choked him would have done the same thing if he was white

@haphazard is right. If race entered into the equation at all; it wasn't a big part of the issue.

It is difficult to say. It may have been racial, the Cops could have been overly eager to bust him just to make an arrest, or both.
No. I think the cop was just controlling and let the power go to his head. Floyde was hand cuffed and there was no reason to kneel on him.
It wasn’t racially motivated. It was just murder.
Derek was never convicted of racism.

No, it was just negligence, it’s made policing more difficult most probably.
He wasn't murdered, he was a crack head who happened to die at an inconvenient moment.
I think any thug who did what he did would have ended up the same way regardless of color. Cops just don't like bad guy who mouth off to them.
No. Police arrest criminals regardless of their race.
HE FAKED HIS DEATH HE IS DOING PORN
No, it was out of the stress of the situation. The people around the officer made him too self aware.
i don't even think it was murder. i think he died of a drug overdose in police custody
If Floyd wasn't full of drugs I would feel sorry for him.
The cop was a dumb ass no doubt.
Racial as in having a police culture that subconsciously trains officers not to be as nice to blacks as whites, yes.
Tony Timpa's case was even crueler than that. And he was a WHITE man
Oh…well that proves it. Wait, that’s not a trend.
Police brutality against whites doesn't feet leftists' agendas
Police brutality against whites doesn’t erase brutality against blacks. Maybe we should just join forces against police brutality in general?
Exactly. Police brutality shouldn't be addressed a solely racial issue
Wait I'm confused about the question but then with poll my answer was supposed to be obviously racially motivated it is very clear
