That quote only describes our reality if taken out of context. "Something would get done" is referring to police reform enacted with a broad social consensus, not to a stream of escalating sub-terrorist provocations from leftists and from the government. And George Floyd was not "the most clear-cut and sympathetic case" in the presence of (e.g.) Breonna Taylor. The kind of hypothetical conspiracy is just not there; instead we're seeing memetic natural selection at work.
