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. According to data collected by the Washington Post, 1,014 people were killed in police shootings in the United States in 2019, and various surveys show that the majority of those killed in police shootings in the United States are black Americans.
