Why did it take so long for the Floyd footage to come out showing him

saying he can’t breathe just standing around and then resisting arrest and tussling with police? Clearly, that changes the perception and would make reasonable people less angry. So why did they let the country burn for weeks (and months if my memory serves me correctly) all while sitting on footage that would have quelled some of the violence and anger? I think we have an idea as to why this was done or maybe a combination of variables, but it was reckless to not show the whole picture as things were getting out of control.

Reasonable people weren’t looting, rioting or burning businesses.

Has the news ever come out that the prosecution team in Trayvon martin trial used a fake witness?

They played the long game. It’s too late for anyone to change the narrative now. See Michael Brown.

Something that I’ve wondered about is, he had 2, 3, maybe 4 funeral services. Did anyone ever actually see him in his casket?

It adds more fuel than the alternative, but I don't believe the BLM types really care if Floyd was actively shooting at the police for an hour before he was killed. What matters to them is that he got killed. Every other circumstance is immediately forgotten. They would have looted and rioted regardless of circumstance.

Or that Trayvon wasn’t a sweet 12 year old angel child prodigy.

I’m just going to assume that this is a rhetorical question. A six-year-old could figure that out.

It was out pretty early. It just didn’t meet the narrative. Anybody that’s worked ER or mental health can see what was going on with him before he was ever touched. It certainly played a part in why the officers stopped listening to him. He was saying I can’t breath exactly the same way when he was untouched as when they had him pinned. If that was an allowed procedure, which if I recall it was, then easy to see how they missed him going under (dying). Not condoning it just easier to see how they got to that point.

Why would they do that. There are people out there that now think Trayvon was killed by a white cop. Not only was the narrative set early, they were able to manipulate it to change the narrative to fuel the flames even more.

The same reason that the toxicology report of him dying of a self-induced overdose - something he'd done before - has been swept under the rug.
They can't whip up a bunch of idiot sheep if those sheep knew the dude basically killed himself.
