Sorry my bad for not explaining clearly. I was comparing the two guys, one a student the other a known criminal -:
George Floyd had a criminal record that included multiple convictions for drug possession, theft, and trespassing. His most serious conviction was for a 2007 aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, for which he pleaded guilty and served a five-year prison sentence.
While his history includes these criminal offenses, the circumstances of his death were distinct from his past. In 2020, Floyd was killed by a police officer, Derek Chauvin, while being arrested on suspicion of passing a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill. Chauvin was subsequently convicted of murder for kneeling on Floyd's neck
Clearly no reasonable person would say that was comparable. No suggestion that Floyd was not unlawfully killed either, the murderer was convicted for the crime too. Hope that’s clarified
