I mean they defend them all, of course. The only thing different with Floyd was it was fully recorded and the method of execution was so cruel and clear to anyone with a shred of empathy. It didn’t have the normal hang ups for the dumbass pro-cop crew like defending gun usage. It didn’t have any sort of “resistance” at all by Floyd that they always twist in justification for murder. His “crime” was something most people would ask “why would cops even dispatch for that…?”
All of this was true at the time and it was so clearly a murder that I remember most right wingers kinda shutting their mouths for a long time. Like a combined knowledge that this one wasn’t defensible. Once the cop was arrested and the trial came along and then conviction you got more and more and more vocal right wingers. I guess it was one thing to say nothing while an obvious murderer got fired. It was too much, for them, to see the murderer facing consequences. Cops and Israel… two entities that can NEVER face scrutiny or consequences.
