Everybody felt guilty except the cops.

The bystanders, the witnesses, the clerks from the store, everybody felt guilty because they watched a man killed and couldn't do a damned thing about it.

Everyone except the fucking cops who killed him.

Sad.

Cops think they can pretty much get away with anything. SHOOT FIRST, and worry about Nothing later.

They believe that they're tough guys who are above the law, and if somebody dies, so long as it's not a fellow officer, then it's acceptable.

on the ground, completely ignoring bystanders' pleas for mercy, was chilling. Not even a hint of regret or shame as they rolled George Floyd's lifeless body onto the stretcher and hauled him away. These cops are monsters.
