We had what I call the Derek Chavin moment. Cities burned. We haven’t seen another one of those. Go ahead and research that — we shutdown several cities and we stopped that shit!
Stopped what shit? At the end of the day, what did it accomplish? Cops still kill black people, and most face very little repercussions.
I’m not sure what you are talking about.
The George Floyd assassination was an unprecedented cold blooded murder on video for the propagandizement of racial violence. We have not had another one of those. It took cities on flame, but we have not had another one of those. In fact, please link to a video of another Derek Chavin moment.

Because it wasnt caught on video or didnt go viral it doesnt matter? Your police blatantly murder people all the time.

Sadly — the vitality appears to matter.
Remember the thread here was about the protests having had an impact. The only impact I was implying was that there hasn’t been another George Floyd level incident.
Listen — all our countries have problems. Poking at the US is counter productive considering half of us did not vote for the current toxic imbecile.
I don’t know what country you are from but I don’t see them stopping the Israeli genocide if Palestinians. I’m pained by the list of African Americans killed by US police. These departments are hiring racist, 80 IQ mouth breathers.
