Has any conclusive evidence emerged that shows that Floyd was murdered due to his race?

How many videos have you seen of a cop kneeling on a white guy's neck for 9 minutes?

Several actually, one was making the rounds of twitter recently. Never got any national news coverage.

And Wylie, even if I had not seen any videos, that is not tantamount to any kind of conclusive proof that this was racially motivated. The point is, the media and the activists that make their living off a certain narrative are not going to wait for the facts to emerge. They are going to assume the truth that fits with their worldview. Case in point, the Bubba Wallace situation. The media did not wait for the facts to emerge.

There's no way you would ever get "conclusive proof" unless while the cop was kneeling on George Floyd's neck, he proclaimed "I'm killing this guy becuae he is black"
Not sure what the Bubba Wallace situation has to do with this. I'm not all that familiar with it.
Most people will view stories in such a way that it fits their world view. It's human nature. Your world view is that the media is liberal so that is how you view anything the media says.

and where are these videos of cops kneeling on a white man's neck for 9 minutes? I have not seen any.

Jesus, dude. That didn’t take you long.

Nice “good faith” question.

I notice you didn't give me an answer. It seems to me we all jumped to a conclusion very quickly. But is there any evidence backing that conclusion up?

Systemic racism exists in the criminal justice system. That's a fact. You can never prove that individual cases were due to racism.

Guitarguy, will you apologize for not waiting for the facts to emerge in the Bubba Wallace situation? The rope was a noose.
6/25/2020 2:29 PM
All I have seen is that it was tied like a noose. Have seen nothing mentioning intention or disputing the fact that it had been in that garage since last September. If more comes out, I will certainly adjust my take
6/25/2020 2:56 PM
A noose lying around since September isn’t a great defense!
6/25/2020 2:58 PM
Im not sure Bubba Wallace even occupied that garage last September? Legitimately, not sure.
6/25/2020 3:03 PM
He didn't, and again, that's not a great defense! There's so many ways to tie a rope!
6/25/2020 3:07 PM
OK, if Bubba Wallace didn't occupy the garage last fall then clearly he wasn't the target (if there was one at all). Given the nascar demographic, it seems to me the odds are that whoever occupied that garage last fall was probably white, so even if they were targeted with a noose it was probably not inspired by racism. All guesses, but that seems to be where the logic points in my mind. Not to be dark, what if the prior occupant or somebody associated with that garage was depressed and suicidal? Seems like there's more questions than answers really.
