That's an assumption. Regardless, I'll adopt your line of thinking for a moment, and say they would. Why should we take a premature stance just because someone else did on some other issue? Someone else's mistake doesn't justify you making a mistake here.I'm saying exactly what I said. Broly likes his clickbait, and made a thread intending to compare this photo with the George Floyd situation, with the implied question, "why isn't this being covered?"
Which we can't answer until we have details. Is the victim alive? Were they actually compressing his airway or pinning him? Were they wrestling a weapon away from him? What happened to the cops if he was injured or killed?
Neck restraints like that are actually allowed by many police departments, provided you stop once it's no longer necessary. We can debate the ethical implications of it, but again, need details before comparing these two cases.

I think it speaks to the much larger problem of poor policing in general. This is in my opinion the larger issue. As we can see, this takes the abuse from a racial issue to more a bad cop issue. If we bring light and cover this injustice, we can work toward eliminating police brutality, which would lessen Black deaths at the hands of police (a positive), and even better, lessen deaths of all races.

That dude has two knees on both the front and back of his neck: a far worse position to be in than Floyd's situation. There appears to be 4 cops on him instead of just 3.How long did they stay on top of him and was it 8 minutes and 46 seconds (probably not)?
Did this white man recently take both Fentanyl and Meth? Did he have heart problems?
Is it a kink? Did he pay uniformed men to dominate him and take a picture for added humiliation he can revisit later? He could be having the orgasm of his life. It's like the guy on that Tosh.0 video who hires jacked dudes to kick his ass in his bedroom.
We just don't know enough about this.

So, kneeling on someone's neck is a 100% valid and legit tactic. only GF dying made it wrong?
Until then, let's avoid this forum's usual quip war.

The issue is more complicated than your question unfortunately. There is a point where it's clear excessive force, sometimes egregiously so. We can explore the nuance of that if someone finds the background on the image.

Wouldn't lack of coverage be the reason why you don't know enough about this? which leads to the very question of why isn't it being covered?
It also seems that evidence and background knowledge is not needed all the time. Take that Empire actor's story for instance. People were jumping on the that train without having all the facts.
