I have also seen many videos that were, as you put it, engineered for outrage. However, I think any claim that "all" were justified is demonstrably untrue, and there are plenty of videos where unarmed or unprovoked shootings occurred (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRMYVFmEmx8).

I enocurage you to watch the entire video if you have not. Keeping your knee on someone's neck long after they have lost conciousness will always present a health risk. Can you explain the scenario where you would maintain a choke hold after a person has lost consciousness and not expect harm to the individual?
> Some of them are sincere and i feel bad that such powerful movement was not used
The movement is in its youth and finding its legs, after a likely unexpected swell of support (financial and otherwise). Time will tell if it has a lasting impact that many hope, but I beleive it is too early to predict what its outcome will be either way.
Ultimately I fail to see the conspiracy claim. "The election was a fraud" is a conspiracy claim, because it asserts a small group of actors manipulated the outcome of the election (i.e. that they conspired) in a specific way. "Racism persists in a systemic way" in America is more general claim made by a wide variety of individuals and there's no singlular claim as far as I can tell?
what does that youtube video have to do "systemic racism"? it seems like a tense situation with someone seems to be holding a gun-like object, the camera shows one angle , you have no idea how this scene looks like to the cop, it's not his body camera, you don't know if he can hear or understand warnings that this person is autistic. And even if he can it doesn't take away that from cop perspective that person is holding a deadly weapon with another person lying down possibly under deadly threat.
Are you the judge and jury? have you seen all the evidence? have you been in that cops shoes in life & death situation with adrenaline pumping? that's exactly how this engineered narrative spreads, by showing you one piece of the story, one angle of a camera, and aiming for blind outrage and viral distribution.
this (hispanic) cop is doing his job trying to resolve the situation which from his side seems like someone brandishing a gun and not responding to officers orders, possibly mentally disturbed individual, seating besides another person lying down with hands in the air, the cop is potentially saving that (black) person life.
Where is "racism" exactly? how does this unique and complex case generalizes to "systemic racism" accusation of the entire police force risking their lives out there to protect people like you, black, white or brown?
2. This video (and many like it) are to refute YOUR claim that ALL shootings of blacks by police are provoked. But perhaps a better angle would be videos of blacks being stopped for no reason and harassed? there are many of those.
3. Why did you avoid addressing the floyd comment or the FBI claims which seem to more directly lead our conversation?
I agree that people don’t give cops in stressful situations the benefit of the doubt nearly enough. I also don’t believe that most cops are bad or racist. But i do believe systemic racism (historic and current) exists amd explains a variety of phenomena better than competing theories (which are?).
