The U.S. is clearly a country that doesn't value its own people very much (if at all).

Those-in-charge regard most of us as "expendable" and are ready to dispose of any one of us who winds up becoming "too much of a problem or burden".

I think that's the REAL story behind the likes of George Floyd and Brianna Taylor.  It's why the police officers involved were so unabashed and had no compunction about what they did.  They didn't figure on anyone caring any more about these peons and mediocre "nobodies" than they normally do about all the other "100 million or so a year" who get similar treatment simply because "they're not anyone who matters anyway".

Racism may or may not also be involved, but socioeconomic status for sure played a big part in the officers' attitudes toward these individuals.
