Forgive me if I'm repeating; I have not read this entire thread.

Many of the black men who have been murdered by cops have a mental illness. Sadly, I believe the media doesn't mention mental illness (usually) because viewers would tend to be much less sympathetic (Ohhh, the guy was acting crazy, no wonder...).

With specific regard to George Floyd, on NPR I heard a brief mention about him having been in treatment for OCD throughout his life. Never heard another word about it.
