George Floyd
George Perry Floyd Jr. (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was a black American man killed during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after allegedly using counterfeit money to buy cigarettes. Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for nearly eight minutes as he lay handcuffed on the ground. After his death, protests against police violence toward black people quickly spread across the United States and internationally.

dallasvoice.comBy the time Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s neck, it was too late. We must stop the knee from reaching the neck There was no saving George Floyd.
We all saw the look on Derek Chauvin’s face. It was the face I’ve seen way too much of: the face of childhood bullies that terrorize smaller kids before beating them up, just for kicks.
I wonder if, after growing up and getting out of school, some of those bullies who didn’t end up in jail (or worse) maybe decided to join a police department somewhere.
Watching the video, it is clear Chauvin wasn’t going to take his knee off of George Floyd’s neck. He seems like one of the types who would keep it there longer just because people are begging him not to.
