It's a little unfortunate the guy they're beatifying had a violent criminal history, don't you think. To be fair, I looked at the Wikipedia entry and it does paint a pretty chequered picture, a sort of flawed good/bad character. Not sure how much of that is down to, well, I would say whitewashing but in the circumstances, perhaps blackwashing is more appropriate, influenced by recent events

It's irrelevant. 

No matter how bad any person is they don't deserve to be be murdered except for self defense. 

Again it's not really about him. 

It's about systemic racism and black people having to wait hundreds of years for it to be addressed. 

If not now then probably never. 

That would please the white nationalists. 

What needs to be done ?

NETIZENS SEE HYPOCRISY IN CELEBS’ CALL OF ‘BLACK LIVES MATTER’

 

BANGKOK — Celebrities who join the growing online support for anti-racism protests in the U.S. came under fire Thursday for their perceived silence over injustice at home. 

From urging the use of live ammunition on their rival protesters to their consistent reticence in military killings of civilians, netizens said the “woke” celebs are guilty of hypocrisy because they never practiced the same advocacy for justice and human rights in their own country. 

“<deleted>, when it comes to injustice in your own country, you’re completely silent. When it comes to injustice in a foreign country, you’re all pretentiously posting,” political commentator John Winyu wrote in a tweet reshared more than 61,000 times since Wednesday.

Yeah, that's all going to be quietly backpedaled when the BLM stance on Israeli genocide comes to their attention.
