"The American Narrative Killed George Floyd"

How police officers are informed about Black people contributed to Derek Chauvin's callous treatment of George Floyd, when he kept his knee on Floyd's neck, killing him. "The American narrative on Black people is inaccurate from ground zero. In 1619 North America, Blacks and whites were indentured servants, contrary to contemporary frameworks. Meanwhile, whites and Blacks were in jeopardy of being enslaved, during the period, by state-sanctioned Barbary Coast Pirates. Fishermen, coastal villagers and whites in general in England and France, to the Netherlands, were prey to enslavement by maritime prowlers, who were offshoots of the ongoing Ottoman slave trade in Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus.
