Who has any incentive to dig into that narrative? No one presently involved. This is why you, apparently, were unaware of it.
It appears I may know more about this than yourself. When you say
For 17 years George Floyd and that cop had been co-workers at a private nightclub.
you are incorrect. While the murderer had indeed worked there for 17 years, George had worked there less than one year. We will disagree on our speculations. I suspect what I wrote here on this post (linking instead of rewriting it).

Regardless, what was recorded was murder. Something that happens (along with false convictions, convictions for victimless crimes, convictions for doing what the government itself is doing, etc) far to much.
I appreciate the correction. I am always glad to learn when I am wrong, because only then do I have the opportunity to be right.
I have now read the comment to which you linked, and note that you correctly point out we just don't know what their prior relationship might have contributed to the murder.
I also observe we both speculate differently regarding the matter due to our different experiential background. In my childhood I learned that cops murdered people for their drugs, and then sold those drugs with impunity. You learned that cops discussed their prejudice against minorities, and our speculations are mirrored by our experiences.
We certainly do agree regarding murder.
I wonder if you have ever heard of the Slavs? They were named 'slavs' because they were so often captured and enslaved, often by POC. Perhaps reparations would not be a one way street. Most of the Blacks enslaved were not enslaved by the owners of plantations in the USA, but by their Black enemies in Africa. Most of the slave trade that sold them in America was run by Jews.
The records are still extant, and you can do that research if you care to.
Finally, a comparison of the conditions enjoyed by those Americans freed from slavery by the bloody Civil War here in the US with that of their native states will probably reveal they are far better off economically in the USA today than are their African relatives. Were reparations based on economic injury, as tort actions are, they might be surprised at owing instead of being owed reparations.
Food for thought.
