BLACK LIVES MATTER




On May 25, Minneapolis police officers arrested George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, after he was accused of buying cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. 20 minutes after the first squad car arrived at the scene, Mr. Floyd was unconscious and pinned beneath three police officers, showing no signs of life.
The police officer, Derek Chauvin, pushed his knee on George Floyd’s neck and after about 8 minutes he died…
Immediately a very big group of people began to protest in a peaceful way against these abuse of violence from police officers.
