Death of George Floyd

A black man in Minnesota was murdered on May 26th, 2020. This is a very sad and very outraging moment for the community as this murder was caused by a police who goes by the name of Derek Chauvin, who decided to strangle him to death over a $20 check. The police officer as shown in a video, has his knee on Floyd's neck and pinned to the ground, unable to move at all. People from all around the vicinity tell the officers to stop multiple times but Chauvin would not take his knee off of Floyd's neck. Soon after, Floyd died and eventually this asshole police officer got fired and arrested as well as being charged of third degree murder. As of May 30th, 2020, protests of this action are still happening all across America. Protesters were seen burning cars, police stations, and vandalizing public property to avenge the death of an innocent man. Also, the police officer's wife ended up divorcing him. This is a very ironic chain of events.

The Death of George Floyd shows just how unfairly treated people are. People deserve justice!
