The Floyd Effect

Short for "The George Floyd Effect". When a population has an extreme reaction to an isolated incident involving only a few people out of hundreds of millions of people, usually due to media focus and sensationalization.
After further research into the issue, I feel that the widespread protests and violence are yet another great example of The Floyd Effect.
