Example: george floyd
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.
Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine
minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life
and repeatedly saying "I can't breathe".
A second and third officer further restrained Floyd while a fourth prevented
bystanders from intervening.
During the final three minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse while
Chauvin ignored onlookers' pleas to remove his knee, which he did not do until
medics told him to.
