Its rather easy to emphasize with him. You have to breath. He has to breath. Try holding your breath until you absolutely can't do it any longer then imagine someone was keeping you from taking that breath. See trivial.
He wasn't killed while doing a home invasion or even because of it. He was wantonly senselessly murdered by someone who figured they could trivially get away with it by being deliberately smothered for over nine entire minutes when he was accused of passing a fake 20.
There can be no increase of justice obtained by unjust means, no decency obtained by indecent means, no peace in our streets obtained by unlawful violence by men who have no respect nor love for the law but kill under color of law and degrade and destroy the power of this essential institution to preserve this peace by their actions.
You say casually that we wont be missed by most but if we allow this behavior to continue we have a lot to lose and much to miss starting with peace. If the Derek Chauvins, trash in uniform, are allowed to dispense death penalties I cannot imagine why you believe they will reserve their wrath for the especially guilty. Something that ultimately we struggle to accurately judge when given the benefit of careful deliberation and extensive process.
There are many more worthy victims than Floyd but if we can't punish his killers for killing him slowly and deliberately I have little hope that they are future victims will receive justice.
