2nd degree murder in MN is still unintentional or without premeditation.

This. That's the problem when the country you live in is willing to give any Tom, Dick, or Harry a gun and a badge.

I do also just want to note here that it’s incredibly difficult to become a LEO in most departments. The overwhelming majority of departments don’t just give anyone a badge and gun. 

I’d like to propose some more food for thought though...is it possible these officers just either got complacent or stupid after time on the job? I’m not saying that would excuse it by any means, but given they’re charging the officer with manslaughter (from what I’ve read at least), that would mean that the loss of Mr. Floyd was unintentional. Still doesn’t excuse it, but just some food for thought...

You're right. What's happening in HK is unacceptable too.
There can be more than one thing wrong with the world at once.

I don't see you point in this? Are you saying this movement is the protest of one mans death? Because George Floyd's death was an ignition to a much much bigger movement than the protest of one mans death.

No i’m just baffled as to why there are BLM protests in the UK and Europe but no (or very little) protests about the CCP when both incidents happened on different continents?

Because there isn't equality in the UK and Europe hence this huge movement to push for equality. If there wasn't a problem here no one would be protesting.

So I ask again, why are the protests for “Black Lives Matter”, when there are cases of racism against other racists? Your not fighting for equality if you’re only supporting one race.

The man wasn't from Hong Kong or China, he was from South East Asia, although it does not say specifically where from.
