The problem isn't recognizing who the individual policemen are, it's a lack of trust that we have with police being able to see past the color of our skin. Have you seen the video? This person was not resisting and he was not armed. He had two policeman on his back and neck. He was begging to be allowed to breath and they simply watched him die. This would not have happened to a white man. Why could they simply not of put handcuffs on him. Why kill him? Why it may not have been intentional murder, it was clearly murder by indifference. They did not view #GeorgeFlynn as human.
