Floyd case could have led to serious reforms on body cams, arrest tactics, QI, decriminalization etc.

Taylor case could have led to reform on no-knock warrants etc.

Instead we will get blocked traffic, rioting, violence, deaths, Covid spread, lectures, division, & few reforms.
Those reforms could have happened overwhelming support, but no one focused on them. And the opportunity for unity is gone because it's rather obvious those terrorizing cities don't care about real reforms and many won't want to reward the violence.
To clarify: I shouldn't say "no one" focused on reforms. There were some reforms passed at a local level. Tim Scott worked hard to try to find a compromise in Congress, but Senate Dems blocked it from even being debated.
