For a long time, people thought anytime someone getting chased or held down by an officer was like it was on the show cops.
They would see endless videos of rambunctious crack dealers being belligerent and getting chased and taken down.
The public would laugh and mock.

So then when it got on the news of cops killing a dude, many would relate to the only footage they ever seen of the cops doing such things. They would reason it must have been justified because they seen the cops do it over and over again on the show and never felt it was unjustified.

I think that is one of many reasons the George Floyd video is so powerful. It is nothing like you see on that show cops. People realized, the man wasn't like a standand cops perp. He was a regular guy like their neighbor. Also, younger people likely never watched cops.
