I must first say that we cannot possibly have a meaningful dialogue about this without recognizing the root of this issue, which lies in Amendment 13.  It is quite mind boggling that black and brown Americans find ourselves STILL screaming for change with regard to law enforcement. From the perspective of this queer, black man, the answers are quite clear. If the question is whether or not law enforcement should be able to murder someone with impunity, the answer is a resounding HELL. NO. 

George Floyd was murdered in May of 2020. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 passed the U.S. House and was sent to the U.S. Senate in March of 2021, yet there has been no movement on the bill. In stark contrast, the Covid-19 Hate Crimes Act which sought to address the rise in reported AAPI hate crimes that started in 2020, went from being introduced on the floor of the U.S. Senate to being signed into law by President Joe Biden in roughly 2 months. Why is that? So the question must be asked yet again, how much time does this Country want for its “progress”.
