I WAS THERE: Chokeholds, Blacks & LAPD Chief Daryl Gates

Thank you uncle for speaking up and standing up when others wouldn’t.

I strongly disagree, in most of these situations, including Floyd's, the subjects were refusing to comply with police instructions, so how does that make it racist? I agreed the optics look bad, but how is it racism? Im a black man saying this.
