My previous post: I watched the news clip a little more closely and if I may try to interpret - it sounds like the two protesters were trying to say (at the time) that unless Chauvin was prosecuted immediately, then in all fairness, another killer cop (Mohamad Noor) should be released.
At least I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that that's what they were trying to say - they wanted the same speed of justice in the George Floyd case. But if I recall, the cases were similar in that I don't believe Noor was arrested immediately either.
The irony can't be ignored though: a white woman was murdered by a black cop for no reason: the police weren't responding to arrest her, they were responding to her call for help (she heard a sexual assault occurring), she had no record. She was unarmed and a person who, by all accounts, had a very warm, welcoming and peaceful demeanor who was dressed in her bed clothes (hardly a threatening figure).
She was wearing her pajamas as she approached the car greeting them... and the cop pulled out his gun and shot her point blank in the stomach through the window of the police car.
No warning. No "stop where you are" or "freeze!" (because she most likely would have complied with such orders as she was a good and law-abiding person).
What on earth could his excuse have been?
In a sexual assault situation the victim is usually a woman - so the cops would have been expecting a woman seeking help. People who call the police from their homes are usually on the scene to greet them to provide a report of why they called (every time I've ever called the cops, I was there on the scene to greet them), or are seeking protection by the police from whatever the threat might be. Cops are used to the people who call them often being on the scene to greet them.
But no protests, no riots, no buildings burned, no assaults & murders of more innocent people committed as some kind of cry for "Justice for Justine!". The entire incident was quickly swept under the rug and virtually forgotten about by the media and the public.
