George Floyd case
A year ago, on May 25, 2020, the African American George Floyd († 46) was killed in a brutal police operation in Minneapolis. The case sparked nationwide protests against racism and police violence.
Videos are documented as police officers pushed the unarmed man to the ground. The white ex-cop Derek Chauvin pressed his knee to Floyd’s neck for a good nine minutes until Floyd died. Chauvin was convicted. The sentence is still pending. (SDA / bra)
