A Minnesota police officer was seen on his knee, exerting pressure on the neck of George Floyd. Floyd was already in police custody and one can only wonder what happened that he ended up under the knee of the officers.
Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who was unarmed and handcuffed, pleaded that he could not breathe. The police officers gave a deaf ear to George Floyds cry and he died in the process.
George Floyds death and video surrounding the incident have sparked widespread anger, destructive protests and calls for the officers involved to face criminal justice.
For 3 days now, arson, looting and vandalism has gripped Minneapolis. The protesters are clearly exhibiting their anger as a result of Floyds death.
Minneapolis 3rd Police Precinct has been the epicenter of the protest. As a result of these demonstration, the police station has been set ablaze. This protest shows how much the people are against police brutality.
Even though the four officers who were present during Floyds arrest have been dismissed.
The people are still asking for justice for George Floyd.
The disturbances of Thursday night in Minneapolis have spread into the nearby city of St. Paul. Fires and vandalism are breaking in St Paul as well all as a result of the death of George Floyd.
