Why is George Floyd Dead?

Imagine how nice life would be if everyone just minded their own business. Instead, they mostly mind everyone else's and feel entitled to evaluate it, as if they actually know what's going on, which they don't. 

Right now the focus of our attention is a white policeman on trial for killing a black man. Most awake adults know every detail of the death of George Floyd almost a year ago. The cop kneeled on Floyd's neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds. Not nine and a half minutes, but nine minutes and 29 seconds. This resulted in a lack of oxygen and ultimately caused his death. 

What nobody seems to know or at least talk about is why the cop did it. I would be interested in hearing his motive but the trial is over, the cop never said a word, and now the jury is deliberating. The verdict threatens to blow the country apart. Buildings in several major cities have already been barricaded to protect them from rioters.

I am not excusing the cop. He is evil and should be eliminated from not only the police force but the human race, if you ask me. Still, what was he thinking? Was he delusional? Did he think Floyd was the Devil? Did Floyd remind him of someone from his past who hurt him? Was he getting back at someone? Did being a policeman make him go crazy? Are there other equally crazy cops out there, running around free with weapons at the ready?

Since I know so little I can't speculate. But that doesn't stop most people, who have concluded the white cop must hate all black people. If so, he did a pathetic job of showing it: Just one black man dead, whereas Hitler, who hated the Jews, managed to kill six million of them. Now that was hate.
