If George Floyd had raped someone before he was arrested would you still be upset about the way he died?

Considering that he was a criminal, why should we care? Police kill criminals everyday and we never hear about it. I feel like it has been used to bring attention to racial problems that do exist in America against black people but his case was not specifically race related when you examine it. It seems like more a case of police brutality in general as they could have just handcuffed him.
