I remain skeptical that he's Darwin. I understand what you're getting at, I recognize the similarity, but I maintain there are also differences in their styles.

The video shows a violent confrontation initiated by the McMichaels.
Where? They weren't hitting him, they weren't even threatening him. You can make the argument that they shouldn't go around armed, and "arresting" people, but the fact remains he's the one that initiated violence.

George Floyd? It should be obvious he is because people were actually arguing about it. There was a war element to his death.
Was there? I'm honestly not seeing one, unless I apply a completely different standard between that case and this. No one was saying the police should never be allowed to restrain a suspect, or on the other side, that they should be allowed to arbitrarily murder black people.
Some people said police shouldn't kneel on a man's neck for 9 minutes as the man pleads that he is struggling to breath, and others think it is an acceptable restraining method.
There is an actual disagreement over police behavior.
Not really. What I recall from the conversations here was a reaction that was essentially identical to yours: "Its a sad situation but nothing here seems unique or even too particularly culture war". It wasn't until the toxicology report came out that people started making the argument that the method of restraint he used had nothing to do with Floyd's death, and therefore was essentially fine. Progressives never really disagreed with that statement either, they just didn't address it.
So where's the war?
I meant threatening in the "I'm going to fucking kill you" way. "Wait here with us until the police arrives" may qualify if we're being autistic, but doesn't belong in the same category, in my opinion.
