Just a few months ago, the United States became agitated over the murder of a black man. A black man was arrested and strangled to death by a police officer. Anger spread as soon as the video of this incident was released.
On the evening of May 25, police arrested the suspect after receiving a call about a fraud. He was later killed by the police. George Floyd(46) was working as a security guard at a restaurant in Minneapolis.
After Floyd’s death, alarming figures emerged of deaths at the hands of police in the United States.
