George Floyd's death

Outrage over racial inequality and police brutality began earlier this week when footage of Geroge Floyd surfaced online. Reportedly, on Monday, May 26, Floyd was arrested by the police officers in Minneapolis for unspecified charges. According to the reports, a tussle between Geroge Floyd and the police officials resulted in Floyd being subdued for several minutes by the police officer named, Derek Chauvin. In a video on the internet, Chauvin pressed his knee against Floyd's neck, who was seen gasping for air before turning motionless. In the viral video, the 46-year-old can be seen repeatedly saying: "I can't breathe." He was pronounced dead the same day.
