Relatives of an unarmed man who died as he was being detained by police last year say they recently viewed body-camera footage of the incident that showed Alabama officers kneeling on the man’s neck while he repeated “I can’t breathe.”

wapo.stFamily says video shows Alabama man died after officer knelt on his neckThe medical examiner ruled Phillip Reeder’s death a homicide but determined heart issues and drugs were contributing factors.

The family just saw the video and are suing to have it released. He was also white. Everyone should be outraged but the outrage you saw when George Floyd died was because the abuse that black people suffer from the police has been going on forever and the population had had enough.

That, and there was video evidence of it the same day. There was no time for any news outlets to spin it. The backlash was fierce and immediate. Combine that with an especially hot summer during an election year in the middle of a pandemic that the executive was fumbling? Perfect storm
