Oh dear. What I did there was connect two incidents--the killing of George Floyd and the killing of Michael Brown. These two events have so much in common, as to the nature of the events and their consequence. After the Brown killing (by a police officer,) there were massive protests in Ferguson, MO.
The Brown and Floyd deaths are closely related in the narrative about racial and civil justice in the U.S. Somewhere in my subconscious these events were conflated.

Sorry to cloud the issue.
