I am aware that Google's search quality has gone down, but surely not to that extent.

Or, as kids say today: skill issue.

As argued by the people who killed him, of course.

In any case, ICE are not police, i.e. not cops, so I dunno why you would derail the discussion to ICE if you are talking in good faith.

That article doesn't really say anything about police mowing down protestors. It mentions civil rights clashes in the 60s and then jumps to the murder of George Floyd and then a graph of people shot and killed by police since 2015 conveniently leaving out whether the shootings were justified or not.
