But to answer your specific question, there wouldn’t have been riots
I watched the store camera that was rolling just prior to his death. It appeared that the officer that handcuffed him and was talking to him was black, or perhaps muslim??
The store camera showed Floyd being walked across the street (cuffed behind his back). As he got closer to the police car (I assume to be placed into) his legs appeared to be wobbly - or perhaps he was trying to make the officers work to support him as he got close.
Right before the video is blocked by another police car, it appears that Floyd missed the step at the curb and toppled to the ground.
The store camera quits, but I wonder if that is what the new cop (not involved in the original stop and cuffing) took to be “resisting arrest” and “subdued” Mr. Floyd.
As in the case of Arbery almost getting tazed in the park (”Oh - I already checked him for weapons”) - these cops need to work on their communication skills and establishing some sort of protocol on who is in charge at the scene.
The Commanding officer shares the same blame/questions - just as much the four officers that were fired.
they would have come up with another excuse, we’ve known for some time organized rioting has been planned and this is right according to the template
It’s not worth the effort to discuss.
It probably would have made a difference, and that’s unfortunate.
As it is, this killing feeds the narrative of the lowest, most vile racialists on both sides of the black/white divide, when it should be only a narrative about the actions of the people involved, the reasons it happened, and how to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.

Firstly, it would have happened less often.
Is there any MSPPD dash-cam or body-cam footage? 3 officers were trying to hold him down. What happened before contact, that 3 officers ended up having to hold him down?
“supposedly killed”? really?
too many cops in too many places have been out of control for years. more disgusting are those - in and out of police departments - that defend the indefensible.
Same thing that happened when that Muzzie pig shot the Australian lady. The cops closed ranks around the muzzie, the “good cops” stayed silent and nobody rioted.
"Supposedly killed him?" You mean Floyd is still alive??? It's a miracle!!!!
So you're asking what might happen if a black Minneapolis police officer did something like, I don't know, shoot and kill an unarmed white woman? Something like that? I would expect him to be convicted of third degree murder and other crimes and be sent to prison for twelve and a half years.
Google Mohammed Noor and Justine Diamond.
His death was unjustified.
But these riots are being encouraged, and promoted, by leftist agitators so as to create another crisis for Trump during this election campaign season.
I don’t remember any riots when a monster targeted and tried to kill a 5 year old white boy at Mall of America.
