It might be referring to the claim made by conservatives that George Floyd died of a drug overdose rather than being literally choked on the ground by a police officer

Right, it happens every time cops beat or kill someone. They had cocaine in their systems, or they got arrested once before, or there's a teacher who said they got detention a lot. In their minds, that's enough to think of them as a Bad Person, and therefore deserved it.
