Floyd is a good example but isn't as universally off limits as people like Churchhill.
The issue with people like Floyd is that they become the story when the true story is how the state police forces abuse their power. Then the reactionary response is the attack the victim. Regardless of criminal record if you or I did what was done to Floyd we would be in prison and rightfully so. Figures like Floyd become tools to be used by existing power structures to manipulate and divide people.
I recall watching this unfold in my circles. Was pretty discouraging.
