With George Floyd the video shows him not resisting, the coroner report showed Fentanyl and Meth at overdose levels.
A second corner hired by the family shows he was strangled to death. I have news for you. Your corner has no credibility and may have well just cooked the books to let the officer off the hook and people will automatically think, oh right, here is another Black person that's into drugs. Its a racist stereotype. They just play into the stereotypes and the gullible white middle class believes everything they say like gospel truth.

As for Brooks, if you watch the body cams footage he was completely calm (just woke up) and the officers were civil with him until they started to cuff him to arrest him. He then resisted arrest tried to fight back, I imagine he knew was on parole because how would you not know that and would end back up in jail and didn't want that. So he tried to break free and grab at the cops stun gun. He got the stun gun started running off turned and pointed it at them and that is when the cops shot and killed him.
Again the matter could have been diffused if someone simply knocked on his window. If you look at his back story his life was already ruined because he has a criminal record and is unable to get a job. If it is a white person, they get off easy, they get second, third, fourth, five, chances, etc.... Black people keep getting the short end of the stick when it comes to law enforcement and its like they just want to screw Black people. So, what if he reacted like that? All he had to do was walk to house nearby, the police had his license and his car and they could have just let him go.
The problem with people like you is you just deny the humanity of Black people. If they flinch at police then its okay for police to gun them down like an animal. Your position is very offensive because there is no justification to that.
I will provide two examples where a white person stole a cops car, and where a white girl threw rocks at a cop, because what better way to show two Americas:
She does not get shot by cops because she is a white woman.
White guy steals cop car and nobody gets shot here.
Therefore, its better to just admit there is systematic racism, there are two police/justice systems and police have the license to kill Blacks over issues that they would deescalate if it was a white person doing the exact same thing.

As for a "trivial issue" someone acting strange because they are overdosing on drugs could be a danger to themselves or others in the case of Floyd.
As is what happens to countless white people that police never do anything about. Instead it's a medical issue that police will lend a helping hand to the white community:
Police save white people's lives who are overdosed by provding Narcan.
If you are going to give me a BS answer then at least show that it applies to white people too otherwise it further puts your position in a hole.

Brooks was drunk driving, that is not a trivial issue, millions of innocents have died because of drunk driving. These are the facts and you can't really twist them.
He was sleeping on his car and wasn't actually driving. His home was nearby. Maybe he just decided to take a very short drive over to get a hamburger and was going to go back home. White people do not get their lives ruined over simple mistakes and unless you have a system that's fair and just rather then is out to screw Blacks then you really don't have a leg to stand on.
