Thirty years ago, Rodney King, an African-American, was savagely beaten by police officers in Los Angeles. Three years ago, another African-American, George Floyd, was pinned down to the ground by a white police officer in Minnesota and died. Both incidents triggered large-scale protests, but to no avail. In this episode of Reality Check, CGTN's Wang Guan asks why the number of Black people killed by police keeps increasing, and looks at America's ingrained institutional racism.
