I think we are going to see something far beyond the usual video where people actually argue about whether its justified or not. Obviously this is going to be George Floyd and Rodney King level of shocking.

I did see a video of Tyre skateboarding and it looked like he was just enjoying himself. I'll rewatch that one.

Rodney King died many years later but I still think he paid with his life.
I also can't understand releasing the video on Friday night.
