Aristocatt - RE "evidence of racism" - The use of racist language during the incident, a history of racism online by the perp, a lack of comparable "white on white" arrest "difficulties" (RE George Floyd, I refer you to the tragic case of Tony Timpa, a white YOUNG man who was crushed to death by police, joking and laughing all the while to boot), testament of those suspected of racism from colleagues/friends/relatives that they hold racist views...stuff like that.
ETA: The police flagrantly stepping outside the law in their actions. RE George Floyd it is important to note that "neck kneeling" is an authorised "pacification technique" listed in the Minneapolis police handbook.
My red - There is "racial" disparity in crime, but is that due largely/in the majority to racism, or something else, such as a glorification of the gangster life in "black music" and a wish to "stick it to the white man slavers!" by living a life of crime - evidence is lacking for either, so to conclude: RACISM! seems clearly...premature....as well as the most divisive and hysterical conclusion, IMO.
My bold - do you have citations for that, please?

Blacks and other minorities are at far higher risk of injury or death when interacting with police than whites. Even if blacks make it to jail, they are on average charged more harshly and sentenced more harshly and fined more harshly than a white person who commits a similar crime.
