The officer who stood by as George Floyd died is Asian American. We need to talk about that.

The image of now-fired Hmong American police officer Tou Thao, standing with his back turned as George Floyd died last Monday in Minneapolis police custody, has ignited a discussion around how to approach the topic of anti-blackness in the Asian American community. Thao has been described by activists as a symbol of Asian American complicity in anti-blackness following the death of Floyd, a black man who begged for his life while then-officer Derek Chauvin dug his knee into his neck.

There are videos from different angles at different times in the incident. When they were loading Floyd into the squad car, the other cops pushed Thao out of the way and wouldn't let him be involved.

Thao does not seem anti-black; he's just standing by to make sure there are no incoming dangers to his colleagues.

He ain't no cop. He's a body-guard for any officer in charge.  ;D
