I do not agree. The law or new laws is what you need.
Social engineering techniques vary but, it seems to me, the best way is to gradually bring in new laws. You bring the laws is one at a time, to give the police and public a chance to get used to them, until you get the new norms and values that you want. Excessive force and the like is essentially an abuse of power. What changed the norms and values of the British police for the better was the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, which was not a set of new laws but rather a set of guidelines, a code of conduct, used by the courts to judge if the police had behaved properly or not.

Whether protestors are peaceful or not is irrelevant. I am not talking about actions against someone who is doing something violent. I am talking about UNPROVOKED violence by police. There has been plenty of it, and everyone knows it and has seen it.
As for bubble, unless you're in LE, I suspect I've been to more demonstrations than you have.

If protesters violence is not relevant neither is that of cops.

Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder.
The three other officers involved in Floyd's death -- Kueng, Lane and Tou Thao -- were also arrested and charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. So given that these officers have been brought to justice, what is the point of protesting this case? Why don't the people instead protest cases where police have not been charged where rightly they ought to have been?

It's way past the point where people are protesting just one particular case or another. People are protesting the whole judicial system from top to bottom. For better or for worse, the co-ordinated ongoing injustices on display during these protests have moved many people past the "one bad apple" point of view to "the system is thoroughly corrupt" point of view. The kinds of questions that are being asked now are not so much about individual police officers but more like, what is the purpose of the police, what are the origins of policing, who controls the police, who exactly do the police serve?

Nonsense.
Sorry you stepped way too far. You may be asking those questions but that is because they fit your agenda. Not because they are a reality.

Why don't we stop using nonsense talking points and falling for landmarks game?
So Jack, just HOW MANY unarmed people of color do you believe are killed each year by cops? Let's start there. The word "genocide" is thrown about pretty often so lets see just how many makes a genocide.

Then you'll understand why Chauvin was just the last straw. People aren't buying the "bad apples" excuse anymore. It's over.
