More shocking bodycam footage, more fatal shootings by officers, and a murder trial nearing its conclusion -- public trust in the US police has seldom been more strained.

Video evidence showing apparent wrongful use of deadly force has been piling up, fueling a fierce debate on policing across the United States.

"I don't trust promises from the government about things changing, and I don't trust the system or the courts. For me, the problem starts at the top." An officer who stopped young Black man Daunte Wright in a Minneapolis suburb last Sunday shot him dead in his car after mistaking her Taser for a gun -- all caught on bodycam.

The images of Floyd, Wright, Toledo and others dying at the hands of police have been contrasted to officers dealing with aggressive white men. "We might think that all this video footage can make a difference, but it just shows what we all know has been going on for a long time."
