2. Independent inquiries into law enforcement’s handling of the George Floyd protests reveal a widespread failure of American policing.

In city after city, more than a dozen reports reviewed by The Times paint a damning indictment of police forces that were poorly trained, heavily militarized and stunningly unprepared for the possibility that large numbers of people would surge into the streets, as they did in Chicago, above, moved by the graphic images of Mr. Floyd’s death under a police officer’s knee.

The reports are strikingly similar, and almost uniformly assert that departments need more training in how to handle large protests. Police departments in some cities have fought back against the findings, arguing that officers were asked to confront unruly crowds as business owners, residents and elected leaders demanded a strong response.

Me: Did you read that George Floyd’s family were paid 24 Million US Dollars in Compensation for his death – with payouts like that, who was the winner then – I bet his family are living the high life without a second thought for George Floyd – so why are people still harping on about it?
