I CAN’T BREATHE
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. A white police officer, knelt on Floyd’s neck for several minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, calling for his mother and repeatedly saying “please” and "I can’t breathe. Police officers further restrained Floyd, while another officer prevented bystanders from intervening. During the final two minutes, Floyd was motionless and had no pulse while the police officers ignored onlookers’ pleas to remove his knee, which he failed to do until medics told him to. The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public, all four officers involved were fired, and charged with murder.
