I'm still not seeing it. What's the crucial falsehood? Why does it give you cognitive dissonance?

Floyd was killed on Monday. According to the Wikipedia page on the protests, they began the following day, escalated to riots and burning a police station down. Chauvin was arrested on Friday.

So it is not true that everyone agreed from the beginning as it took a week to get to the point where everyone went "oh shit this is serious".

I think it's fair to say that there was almost universal condemnation from day one, from just about everyone except the Minneapolis city government. And so the protests started out as a demand for justice from Minneapolis. They later transformed into a wider protest against police violence generally.

I happened to read a story today about someone arrested for punching a police dog in Houston. It took one day for them to be charged, and that was because they went to the hospital first.
