If the motivation of the Minneapolis Police was to project white power and strength over blacks, hasn't it failed miserably?

We don’t really know why Office Chauvin murdered Mr. Floyd, but apparently the Minneapolis police had a long history of beating on brown and black people.

So if Office Chauvin’s motive was to show white domination over blacks – likely given his history – didn’t it backfire?

He’s in jail for second degree murder.

MPD is not going use the murder methodology any more.

His actions kicked off a wave of sympathy for Black Lives Matter and black rights than had been missing for a couple years.

Again, I don’t know his motivation. But if it was to show white domination, was it a total failure?
