George Floyd: Timeline of black deaths and protests
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52905408
It has "a timeline of major incidents since 2014 involving police officers which resulted in the deaths of black Americans." ...The first photo is clearly staged.
17 July 2014: Eric Garner

A protest over the death of Eric Garner at the hands of New York police
Sorry, but two apparent police offices wearing eye makeup = ACTORS PRETENDING TO BE POLICE.
Need I go any further in this investigation? Or is it safe to conclude the BBC is extremely unlikely to mix the timeline of real murders with staged fake ones. So I'm guessing we can auto-hoax...

A solitary toy is left as a memorial near where Tamir Rice died
Another clearly staged photo...do we think the photo journalist put it up for an award? How many times did the "police" run at her?

A lone protestor confronts a line of police in Baton Rouge
Yes, because the first thing anyone does when they find out their friend has been killed is get on the computer, create a piece of artwork with #JUSTIC4 PHILANDO, then go to the local printers to get them to run up a set of placards. What do we think the turn around on a job like that would be?
6 July 2016: Philando Castile

A friend of Mr Castile weeps during a protest
It gets better though, because going external to the article, we find out the printers didn't just run up the placards, we have different sizes, more printed placards, a big printed photo.
Yes, they really look upset at the injustice, don't they?
What do we think, another university project for their performing arts and film media students?
11 April 2021: Daunte Wright

Clashes erupted following Daunte Wright's killing, which occurred during the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin
Yes, another one where "my mate's been killed by the police, let's create some artwork"...and the local printers makes a killing again.
