Truth doesn't matter to these people. In their minds truth is subjective, rather than objective, so it is something that is chosen and they judge you on the truth you CHOOSE to believe.
Anyone who would choose to believe GF signed his own death sentence rather than being a victim of a violent uncaring force of tyranny which terrorizes the black community is a bad person because they've chosen the disgusting belief over the powerful and elevating one.
We could all be rising up against a wrong, but instead you've chosen to suggest that result was deserved, that everything went as it should, that it was all appropriate reaction after appropriate reaction - that a black man dying under the boot of a man who you believe was a good person doing a good job which resulted in a regrettable but acceptable outcome rather than one we should stand against.
For you, there is positive utility in that which is objective
For them, the objective carries negative utility - so they don't engage with it
So if you want to change their position, you can not do so with truth, and must do so entirely on narrative. Make them believe that supporting the police when they do nothing wrong against a criminal who made his life, and they'll suddenly find all the evidence in the world supporting that position. But you have to sell them on the position first, not the evidence.

Truth never enters the picture.
Scary but that is pretty much it.
